A little art trade with @tagzpite (go check them out!!)

Alternative universe in which Poseidon turns Odysseus into a sea monster (after blinding him, so he’s a FSH)

Love you, bestie, your designs are badass🤩

[restlesskeychains]

AU where Persephone and Hades take care of Athena after the events of god games

[thelunarsystemwrites]

Solemn God.

Finally drew Lunarst again, he's just watching over his mortals. I know who the other two gods are gonna be, I just need to draw them 😭

[backstabber128]

Here's some sketches of a random crack Arcane x God of War + Ragnarok AU bc of these ideas-- (Also bc the Norse mythology style is absolutely awesome 👀)

I couldn't resist imagining what little Vi & Pow would look like as mini gods with their adult tattoos like Atreus. Also me being delusional imagining Warwick protecting them as part of Vander's shape shifting ability--

Also headcanon that Odin/Silco has mind control powers, hence Vi and Powder vs Warwick rip. He tears their family apart even in this AU 🫠

+ Jinx gaining Baldur-like abilities through becoming Silco's daughter

I'm just trying to cope with the fact that the wisdom saga will be out in less than a day by making doodles of a monster Au

(I'm not mentally prepared)

I was kind of inspired by : @tagzpite 's Odysseus, their illustrations of the long boi are stunning

Penelope is a siren if you are wondering👉👈

Epic got me in a mood for mythology, and that got me in a mood for Percy Jackson

So yeah, umm....

They're gossiping (checking out) about the new kid at camp, I wonder who?🤔

[smokey07]

Random doodles to mess around with genetics. I have an unhealthy obsession of drawing family members together.

My HC is that Helen can pull off a full Clytemnestra look when she wants to/ gets angry enough ( see that painting of Clytemnestra with an double axe by John Collier). Helen is on the right btw

Neo is a mix of his father's eyes, overall face shape and build, along with his mother's hair, nose, eyebrow shape and skin tone. The red color was a lighter version of Deidamia's red brown.

From my Iliad AU, the HC is that Diomedes and Neoptolemus are basically the idea of finding your doppelgänger in the middle of the street, absolutely not related but somehow look similar-ish.

While Achilles looks like the perfect hero in a story with a more polished look, Diomedes would look more rugged and Wolverine-like wild.

I drank too much coffe in the evening and now I'm struggling to get some sleep. So have my 1 AM Hyapollo Half-Dead AU (or Zombie AU, which ever you prefer)

Basically Hyacinthus was ressurected from the dead through dark magic or a one-in-a-lifetime glitch in the life-death cycle. He is a bit off and doozy from the sudden shift but still obtains most of his personality. However, due to being a disrespectful defiant to the natural order (I imagine Persephone often call him as such), Hyacinthus cannot eat human food like before or feast on ambrosia like the gods.

So to keep his lover alive and not hungry while not endangering others, Apollo lets Hyacinthus drink his ichor and eat some of his flesh. Yeah, allowing your lover to sustain on your own godly blood if their love language, don't judge.

Apollo is a full god so ichor loss isn't a problem to him. It might hurt when he got bitten, but Apollo is willing to do anything for his defiant-to-the-natural-order Hyacinthus. Anything to keep him well fed and happy.

Edit: I'm gonna re-name this to Theophagy AU. The new one sounds fancier :>

Hermes Kriophoros

"[In the city of Tanagra] There are sanctuaries of Hermes Kriophoros (Ram-bearer) and of Hermes Promakhos (Frontline Fighter). They account for the former surname by a story that Hermes averted a pestilence from the city by carrying a ram round the walls; to commemorate this Kalamis made an image of Hermes carrying a ram upon his shoulders. Whichever of the youths is judged to be the most handsome goes round the walls at the feast of Hermes, carrying a lamb on his shoulders." (Paus. 9.22.1)

We know what to do when the next pandemic hits. We are prepared. Assemble the beautiful boys. Bring forth the lambs.

READY THE BEAUTY PAGEANTS!!!

Epic au with mermaid!Penelope

Okay, I don’t know a lot about Greek mythology but I like Epic and Odypen enough to write this. I literally have no thoughts on this au except Ody and his crew are like lost at sea and separated from the rest of their fleet and don’t know where to go(maybe Odysseus pissed Posideon off again)

basically a pod of sirens spot them, including Penelope. I image she’s a half siren or some sort of sea creature(mermaid adjacent) who travels with the sirens. The sirens just want to attack them but Penelope offers a different idea. She suggests she pretends to be a human and help them until they find the rest of their fleet. The sirens could follow behind them and when all the humans are in one spot, then they could attack.

Odysseus isn’t dumb. He can tell Since, as Odysseus says, sirens know every route throughout the sea, he pretends to not to know she’s not human and accepts her help. He reassures his crew that he’ll kill her and her pod once they find their way home.

Basically the two fall in love and are kinda stalling to keep their crew/friends from killing the other. This is what I imagine:

Sirens: Penny, why haven’t you given us the signal? It’s been weeks

Penelope who was zoning out while staring at Odysseus’s ass:Umm, it wasn’t the right time. The sun is too high up. I’ll give the signal later!

Eurylochus: Captain, we are getting close to home. We should kill the sirens before we get any closer

Odysseus breaks out of his daydream of imagining his wedding with Penelope: What? No, that would be illogical. If we run into any trouble later we won’t have their help to get us out of it. I promise when we are close enough, we’ll make them all bleed

If anyone actually read this, feel free to add ideas or try to make this au make more sense

Ikaris x male reader (Greek Mythology Au)

You knew about Ikaris, son of Apollo, by your mistress, Hecate. He was a famous Demigod. Maybe not as famous as Heracles or Achilles, but still famous nonetheless. While other heroes had super strength or invincibility thanks to the Styx, Ikaris had the power to shoot the sun from his eyes.

Hecate said it was a rare gift and if he used it well, Ikaris could prove to be a force for good to Gods, or their enemy. You hoped it was the former. Would be a shame if someone as handsome and as powerful as he would turn out to be an enemy to all of Greece.

You stayed with mistress Hecate in order to control this magic that you possessed that she called ‘the ability to manipulate reality as you wished.’ You didn't care to manipulate reality. This was the job of the Gods, but you did long for love and companionship. Little did you know that you were going to get exactly what you wished for on the night Hecate left to tend to matters elsewhere.

On the night of her leave you had remained in her temple, keeping the hearth warm as you heard the sounds of footsteps of someone. He was dressed in a blue and gold garment that was draped over his chest, but you could still see a trail of hair on his muscular chest. He was even more handsome than you imagined he'd be.

“Forgive my late night intrusion, but I must seek counsel with mistress Hecate.” Ikaris said.

“And why do you seek counsel with my mistress, noble warrior?” You asked.

“I seek her advice on how to defeat a monster that cannot be hurt by the weapons of man. I need her wisdom on what path I should take.”

You walked towards him and away from the hearth as you motioned him to join you in sitting down as you offered him a goblet of wine to drink. “My mistress is the Goddess of crossroads, but she can't tell you which road to take, Lord Ikaris. That is a path you must discover for yourself.”

Ikaris took a drink of the wine and nodded his head. “I suppose you're right. This is the first time that I've felt at a loss. This creature, this lion, is unbeatable.” Ikaris said.

“Have you not tried your power of the sun?” You asked. “It is a very powerful gift. I'm surprised that you had to ask for such guidance.”

“I suppose I just wanted someone to talk to. To believe in me when others have not.”

“Well, for what it's worth my Lord, I do believe in you.” You smiled at him.

Ikaris smiled back. “You are too kind.” He reached out and took your hand into his and kissed it. “Thank you. I shall take my leave now, but I shall return within a day's time.”

“I look forward to it.” You said.

You watched him go underneath the shine of the moon and stars.

Within a day's time, Ikaris returned covered in dirt and blood, but he wore a smile on his face and he wore the golden pelt of the lion on his shoulders. He walked towards you and bowed. “I owe you a debt of gratitude. For I could never have defeated the lion without your guidance. Tell me, what is your name?”

“Y/N.” You say.

“Well, Y/N. These are for your mistress.” He reached into his chiton and revealed the claws of the lion. “And this… is for you.” He slowly walked towards you and pulled you close before kissing you on the lips.

And after the lovely family of Itacha, how could I not put the fierce King of Sparta into the monster au? So here are some sketches of Menelaus as a Manticore before and after the duel with Paris( me and my friend just came to the conclusion that in this au Paris would just be a french man as a monster 😭)

(For context, Demetrios' "friend" is a trojan warrior that was captured by the greek, and he son of Ares and ex servant of Aphrodite. Funky stuff)

Plus a sketch of him and Hermione (I'm making her a daddy's girl and him a single father I can't come up with a new Helen design lol)
