i wish olympus overdrive could've been the webcomic that got a huge following a physical publication and a netflix series instead of lo/re oly/mpus.
#i know that the artist stopped updating and abandoned the project bc of burnout and the scale of the comic being too grand at the time#and he's doing well as a league of legends artist these days i think#but like it was such an interesting story#if anyone was a fan of zatch bell it was basically like that but with the greek pantheon#and the gods team up with random humans to do a big ol' tournament to see who gets to rule olympus for the next millennium or something#admittedly i dont remember the entire premise bc it came out and ended like a decade ago#the designs were so amazing too#raspbeary or oscar vega had such a cool style at the time#his current stuff is also amazing i recommend checking his work out#that was the first time i had seen aphrodite designed as like a proper plus sized woman#and not just the renaissance soft but still pretty small body#although maybe hephaestus's design and story wouldn't be particularly liked or accepted these days#as he is usually depicted as physically disabled and his design either takes that disability away or he never has it in either form#which is something that gets added in is the humans when they get matched up basically redesign the gods via a silly online survey#so like if you said you were 4'5 then the god would be 4'5 to match with whatever you said#i think it was so that the gods would be better suited aesthetically to their human partners#but it backfires on a few of them or better reveals certain characteristics and preferences of other characters#like zeus gets transformed into a lady who basically looks like a supermodel girlboss with gold skin#and hades shrinks down to the size of a 3rd grader as a joke#such an interesting comic i mourn regularly#olympus overdrive#it's not like it didn't have a fandom on tumblr and regular readers#it really did just turn out to be a project that the author couldnt afford to focus on anymore#AND IT WAS FREE#before the days of everyone having a patreon
