This marks the 2nd fight club × jjba art piece I've made. Which is not a lot but more than you would expect.

Realizing how much your Ghoul AU Hunter would break after flapjacks death, that boy will go through so much and probably think he is truly a monster for a long while into probably the first few months post WaD

Mwhehheehhe, enjoy this rendered sketch :3

How Hunter survived possession in this version, poor flapjack got caught in some crossfire, the shock of it forced Belos out (Belos , who already wanted out since he the bloodlust and painful hunger was too much)

Yup, my boy can fit so much much self-hatred

Dark-haired Apollo

I know everyone likes blonde Apollo, and for good reasons! A lot of poets seemed to have been fond of imagining him with long, beautiful golden hair. But dark-haired Apollo, though quite rare in the poems, also exists and I honestly like that too.

• From the Erythrean paean to Asclepius (which then continues into a paean to king Seleucus):

"Over the libations, sing of Seleucus, son of dark-haired Apollo, whom the god of the golden lyre himself begot..." – (Trans. P.A.LeVen)

> κυανοπλοκάμου (kyanoplokámou) - dark-haired is used to describe Apollo's hair here.

• From Limenius' paean to Apollo (also known as the second Delphic hymn):

"But you, O god who owns the oracular tripod, come to this ridge of Parnassus where the gods tread, and where divine possession is welcomed. Weave a crown of bay about your wine-dark hair, and drawing with your hand . . . you encountered the monstrous child of Gaia . . ." (Trans. J.G.Landels)

>It was a bit difficult for me to figure what word is used here for his hair because the original Greek text is fragmented and I'm not knowledgeable about the language - I rely on the online translations - so a disclaimer. But from what I've put together, the word used to describe the color of the hair is οἰνῶ̣πα (oinõpa) which translates to "dark", "ruddy complexioned". Also, the same hymn calls Apollo "golden-haired" in the beginning lol.

In Deipnosophists by Athenaeus, a comment is made on the poets' imagination of Apollo's hair vs the painters' preference:

"And you do not either like the poet who spoke of the golden-haired Apollo; for if a painter were to represent the hair of the god as actually golden, and not black, the picture would be all the worse." – (Trans. Charles Burton Gulick)

> according to this, the painters liked to represent Apollo with black (μελαίνας) hair. Or rather that making his golden will make the painting look worse.

And if the Roman paintings and mosaics are any proof, these painters did actually seem to prefer representing Apollo with dark hair.

So yeah, while in the myths he's often called golden-haired, dark-haired Apollo is a more common sight in the paintings.

Testing out my new matte screen protector and Wacom replacement nib for my s pen with some mild Hunter angst lol. No idea what's happening in the drawing itself, it was initially supposed to just be your generic dynamic pose study so i hadnt thought that far ahead lmao. But maybe a dramatic origin for Hunter's patched jeans in Thanks to Them?

🌙A different moon goddess🌙

You might know her from this piece . This drawing is actually a lot older than the full bg illust, it's from 2019 but I did fix some things digitally to bring the style closer to my current one.

Golden

My shiny contribution to week 10 of the Ineffable Prompt-A-Thon by @ineffablyruined is an Aziraphaleception: a tiny Aziraphale on Aziraphale's fob medallion on Aziraphale's tartan (one of them, anyways).

It was my first time doing a Riso-style piece, and I love it! Look at that yummy texture...

Color-wise, I limited myself to official Riso ink colors. For the medallion, I used Metallic Gold and Brown. For the tartan background, I used Metallic Gold, Mahogany, Gray, Mist, and Raisin.

I love watching the different layers come together!
