#Neal illustrator Poseidon

[an-autistic-dweeb]

Modern!Poseidon with da surfboard- ( @neal-illustrator ‘s design. I am not responsible for his hotness.)

(One without the background)

More lore under cut

As you can see, Neal’s design for Poseidon has him with no right arm. I wanted him doing something ocean related, and my first thought was surfing. Reason why is because of that badass surfer, Bethany Hamilton, that survived a shark attack and lost her left arm.

ERM just some epic pieces cause im in way deep (ft neal_illustrator's zeus, gigi's odysseus, and anniflamma's poseidon)

[bl34ch1]

Anniflamma is responsible for this.

The Almighty Neal Illustrator—

Get in the Water

AND

600 Strike?!

I need a moment— 💖😳🫣

I am in love with their Poseidon design (Have been since Ruthlessness actually 🫠💖),

And I love the end of 600 Strike (I bet you all can guess why 🫶☺️) so I am buzzing right now with excitement.

I think I'm starting to get my wires all messed up because it's always when characters are near death or really roughed up that I'm just like:

"*Gasp* Oh no!😱 .... O-Oh no..😳"

I need help—🥲💀

Here's pic without the announcement

Why he kinda~...

Hear ye, hear ye!

I finally posted my post-Ruthlessness crackfic. It ain't much, but it's honest work.

Summary: After Odysseus escapes using the wind bag he received from Aeolus, Poseidon is left with the remains of the Ithacan fleet tangled in his hair. Unable to brush them out himself, he winds up going to his brothers for help.

[hithisismyrandomblog]

Me every time I see Neal Illustrator Poseidon:

Please tell me I'm not the only one

[atlassiix]

so chat im strugglin a lil bit here cuz im trying to brainstorm some potential posiedon designs, and 2 things i see most frequently are straight hair, almost waterfall-like (seen in neal illustrator and anniflamma's designs) or really curly/coily hair (as seen in bambilooloo's design) then the occasional wave (as seen in aulith's design)

now i cant decide which one would suit my idea best :c i want him to have a very like pirate-y vibe like fishnets, seashells, gold and leather etcetc sooo what are we thinking?

OTHER: comment what style!

[dragonturtle2]

Neal the Illustrator dropped their Ruthlessness animatic, and oh my Titans LOOK at Poseidon.

He looks like a graceful killer lioness with Rapunzel hair.

Opinions and Interpretation ( Epic Spoilers)

Author's Note (As long as it’s not hurting/attacking anyone mentally, physically, or emotionally, people are entitled to their own opinions, own beliefs, own ideas, and nobody is allowed to make you feel bad for your thoughts/ideas.)

Okkkkkkk, I had a long day, and this was bothering me so I wanted to make a post about this so humor me. I have problems with an issue in and outside the Epic community, so that is something I will speak on. Also an inappropriate situation happened earlier this week that caused someone to become extremely uncomfortable so I am going to discuss that as well. And imma teach this up, so sit down and let’s talk. (This issue is a separate post)

Opinion: a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.

As long as an opinion is not hurting anyone emotionally, spiritually, mentally, physically,  you are free to speak your mind in the proper time and place. Your opinions on things, with the things above in mind, should be respected because you are entitled to your opinion. It’s yours and it is precious, cause you are precious. 🥰

Same way switched. You certainly don’t call the opposite party’s opinions “cringe” or  “weird” just because you don’t like them. Are you allowed to discuss why you don’t like it? As long as you are being respectful, go ahead. Do what you do but certainly don’t diminish anyone’s ideas. They are precious. 

Now, the jet pack animation in the Vengeance Saga. Was it unexpected? Hell yeah. Would you like to have seen Jorge choose a different orchestration on how Odysseus got out of water? Maybe. But do we call his idea “cringe?” 

Class: No

Absolutely not! He has stated before how video games have affected the creation of Epic and how he wants to demonstrate it in the animatic. So why are we saying it was “stupid” or ”weird?” Is it inaccurate? Unless Homer has a trashcan of scrapped jetpack scenes we have no idea about, yeah it is. But it is fun. And I think that is what we missed. We are allowed to have fun, as long as we are not posing it as accurate information.

Correct me if I am wrong, but Jorge never said this was a “on the mark” musical of the Odyssey. He is gonna take liberties, and unless a Greek Mythology Association sues him for not following the story to the letter, is it hurting anyone? Do the people who like an accurate retelling of Odyssey have to like Epic? No, absolutely not. Well, I mean unless someone has a gun to your head.

I have mutuals who don’t like Epic, and that is absolutely ok! They aren’t doing anything illegal, and neither are we. UNLESS we are telling and or arguing with Greek Religion Experts, mythographists and the like, that Epic is God's honest truth. In that case, we need to read The Odyssey together and apologize to them.

However, if you are gonna listen to it and just shit talk about it, bullying the creator and the fandom for creating/liking it, scrutinizing the road they chose, and just being a Debbie downer about it, do it by yourself. 

You know what is great too? Sparkle* The Power of Animation *Sparkle. Animators don’t like it, you do it. And that is not an taunting attack like, “oh if you think you can do better, then do it” blah blah nonsense. This is the glory of your talents. You are allowed to let your mind travel in the way that it does, I encourage it.  When I saw the prosthetic Poseidon, I didn’t say in the comments, “actually Poseidon didn’t have a prosthetic, this is cringe and inaccurate.” I didn’t say anything in the comments cus I was screaming and shrieking like a little bitch cus of how much I loved it. I apologize to my neighbors, I was losing my crap, like OMFG, HOW ARE SO TALENTED AND WHAT IS IN YOUR MIND I WANNA SEE IT AND-sorry I’m trying to get to a point.

(Also go check out Neal Illustrators Etsy shop, the pins are up and scrumptious)

All are talented artists/animators. I’m pretty sure when he watches your stuff, he gets so  giddy and excited. No one idea is steady law. We all are allowed to shine and share. I wanna see your talent and ability. 

So please, please.  Epic fans, if you don’t like Jorge’s ideas, look towards the animators. If you don’t like the animator's ideas, do your own. And if you can’t, imagine your own. 

But please, do not send hate or nasty messages toward Jorge and his team or to people in/within the community. Jorge is allowed to have fun, I am allowed to have fun, you are allowed to have fun. We are all allowed to have safe, healthy fun. Don’t spend all your time being a hater. Respect, we all deserve respect. Opinions, we all deserve to have our healthy and good-mannered opinion’s. 

Ok? Ok. Yay!
