#argus panoptes

[mizivii2sh]

rough sketch of argus but like hades style

id love to go in depth about literally everything on his design + what im going to put but i dont know if anyone wants to read a yap fest

I WILL BE COLORING THIS AND REVAMPING IT/ DOING THE ACTUAL LINEART even though that's going to kill me

drawing in this style is like going to be absurdly hard because i already am bad at shadows but now apparently i have to use blackout shadows. and depth. and like physically everything i am bad at

[noahselack]

never played much hades and im real bad at it but i wanted to imagine what Argus Panoptes would look like in game

Argus, hero and monster, my boy

Pseudo-Apollodorus, Bibliotheca 2. 4 ff (trans. Aldrich) (Greek mythographer C2nd A.D.) :

"The son of Ekbasos (Ecbasus) [son of Argos, son of Zeus and Niobe,] was Agenor, and his son was Argos surnamed Panoptes. This man had eyes all over his body. He was extremely powerful, and killed the bull that raged through Arkadia (Arcadia) whose hide he used as a cloak. He also ambushed and slew and Satyros who was hurting the Arkadians by stealing their herds. It is also said that he waited until Ekhidna (Echidna) fell asleep, and then killed her. She was a daughter of Tartaros and Ge (Gaea, Earth), who would kidnap travellers passing by. Argos also avenged the murder of Apis by slaying the guilty pair, Thelxion and Telkhis (Telchis)”

i love argus (giant with a bunch of eyes) so much. he fills a rare role of both champion hero of a god (hera) and also being a big monster that gets killed in someone elses tales (that bitch Hermes) if someone has any extra fun info on him where maybe he lives i would like that also hes the son of mycene (sometimes) who could be interpreted as a related family member of Perseus if hes the guy who midwifed her possibly (not all giants are evil)

Inktober 2023 Day 21-THE GIANT ARGUS PANOPTES.

-One of the primordial giants, possessing a hundred eyes and the ability to survive without sleep, Argus served the Olympian goddess Hera as her guardian, slaying the Echidna, the Mother of Monsters and to safe guard the priestess Io.

-My take was inspired by Terry Pratchett’s Discworld deity character, the (ironically named) Blind Io, with the many eyes floating about!

What if I was the perfect guardian? What if I was your humble servant and was loyal beyond belief? And what was good at it? What if you took my eyes and used them to see the world? What if you took my body and assigned it to protect those you love? Until I failed. But even in death, I am not separate from you. I am immortalized in your endless creation, my parts are separated and plastered on other beings until I have no idea how I truly am anymore. What if I was the perfect guardian?

December 2024, Day 18: Argus Panoptes

Playlist:

[zebedeezing]

Hi my name is Μέδουσα and I’m a hideous chimeric gorgon with a gaze that humans say scares off intruders and evil spirits (that's how I got my name) with black vipers that reach my shoulders and orange eyes like the volcanic pits of Asphodel and a lot of people tell me I look like Τυφῶν (AN: if u don't know who he is get da hell out of here!). I'm not related to Aργος Πανόπτης but I wish I was because he's a major fucking hottie. I'm mostly dragon but my tusks are jointed insect legs. I have dark grey skin. I'm also a murderous semi-feral beast, and I go to a mountainous cave on the island of Sarpedon where I recently gave birth (I'm mortal). I'm nightmarecore (in case you couldn't tell) and I wear mostly stolen cloaks. I love magical objects and I steal all my trinkets from Cretians I petrify. For example today I was wearing a black chlamys, a grey chiton with holes in the back for my 2 pairs of wings, and no undergarments. I was wearing kohl on my lashes, and my tunnel earrings with the souls of my immortal sisters Stheno and Euryale watching me through them. I was flying outside the cave. It was dark and the evening sun burned red, which I was very happy about. Περσεύς stared at me. I put up my middle finger at him.

Geryone (Ancient Greek: Γηρυόνης, romanized: Gēryónēs, or Γηρυονεύς, Gēryoneús), grandson of Medusa and nephew of Pegasus, was the giant guardian of Hesperides. Generally described as a monster with multitude of wings, bodies and heads, in various combinations...

Argus Panoptes (Ancient Greek: Ἄργος Πανόπτης, "All-seeing Argos"), a many-eyed giant, born from Gaia, a primordial one with hundred(s of) eyes. The epithet Panoptes was applied to the Sun, god Helios, and also Zeus, Zeus Panoptes.

I just realized that calling Argus "Argus" instead of "Panoptes" or "Argus Panoptes" might be similar with calling Leonard Da Vinci "Da Vinci". Wrong, that is.

New Cabin: Argus

Following the Second Titan War, Percy and Hera rewarded Argus for his loyalty and bravery by surprising him with his own cabin. Since he doesn't have any children it just serves as a personal residence and office, but there's bunk beds in case that ever changes. A large portrait of Hera hangs on one of the walls inside the cabin, and there are peacock and eyeball motifs incorporated throughout the design. The windows are one-way for extra privacy and the ceiling includes a large, enchanted skylight for stargazing. It also includes a section with useful equipment for monitoring camp security.
