Recent commission! The details on this one were crazy fun to paint, I spent a lot of time on it but I'm really happy with the result :)

This is a comic I created showing the myth (Greek) of Pyramus and Thisbe. Everything is hand drawn and original.

we need to abolish the idea that ancient greek myths and legend have a coherent timeline. they do not. for any given myth there are like 10 heroes mentioned that feasibly could not have been adults or even alive. herakles keeps showing up in places where he should probably be dead. anyone could be a suitor of helen. even herakles. even theseus if you count that kidnapping stint he did. nestor is alive for 10 billion years. time is fake and anything beyond vague generational outlines is conjecture

#the thing about classical studies is sometimes you gotta just accept that sometimes We Dont Fucking Know #a majority of our sources are GONE. we don’t have the full picture and its impossible to make definite statements off fragmentary evidence #is achilles older than patroclus? is he younger? NO IDEA. myth is a fluid tradition. who give a shit #all that matters is: is this guy the same general age range? is he young enough that hes got less respect? is he old enough to earn respect?#and if anyone cites wikipedia at me for this post im killing them with lasers #tagamemnon

I could be a dick and call this " Andromache's dream"...But I 'd rather call it 'Andromache's life happy and unbothered forever"

Anyway, have a little Hector and Astyanax TvT

On my planet, this is hilarious /starfire ref

Joke explanation in tags

#bcose I don't wanna write it there #turk swk fans intreact #😔#so the joke is bir gün çok dertli bir adam huzur bulmak için hindistana gitmiş hindistanda da kafasına buda heykeli düşmüş #adam da başıma buda mı gelicekti demiş #in turkish buddha means “this too” and the phrase “coming to your head” can be used for some trouble or bothersome incident happening to yo #he says “was this bothersome action gonna happen to me too” but buddha fills the “this too” part #and the statue falling to his head-> some other bad thing happening to him #he's untrue by the way this is not hilarious in turkish #its a very classical old joke like why did chicken cross the road #swk #sun wukong #bmw #bmw fanart #black myth fanart #black myth wukong #wukong fanart #sun wukong fanart #jttw #journey to the west #jttw weijing #jttw sandy #jttw baije #jttw sanzang #jttw tripitaka #jttw sun wukong #jttw fanart #I love the second picture a lot aahgdbs he looks so happy and gigglesome #look at that tail #waddling

Just here to publicly thank Homer for giving us the best homosexual love story ever written (the Iliad) and the best heterosexual love story ever written (the Odyssey)

Young Odysseus introduces his son to the goddess Athena

(Alternative title: Telemachus meets his fairy Godmother)

Creator’s note:

Does this picture look blurry to you? Like even if you click on the image to enlarge it? I don’t know why but I can’t seem to get tumblr to show the full resolution image. I worked hard to make faces that actually look like faces for once but now they’re just blurry blobs 😭. Anybody know how to fix? EDIT: thank you all for the feedback! I’m glad it is not blurry for you!
