Found this sketch from earlier this year and I really like it, maybe I should color it properly, but it's pretty as it is already

MELINOË

Finally finished my Melinoë concept guys this one is filled with so much frustration and love. It was difficult to settle on what I wanted but I’m happy with this design~

Closeup / Version with Notes!

Essentially my lore; She’s the youngest of Hades and Persephone’s children. A witch raised by Hecate🌿 Blessed by Selene🌙 Cursed by Serapis🩸

First one is a young Hermes leading Persephone out of the Underworld after her abduction

Second one is her attendant Hecate and her daughter Melinoe

Liking character is fun until you think about them and you just have to stare at nothing for a few minutes because of how tragic

And mauybe you are almost crying but you are having fun

I know she has a lot of nightmares but what if Melinoe has a nice dream every now and then ?

So no one was gonna tell me that you could put a poster of Than up in your room?

Introducing:

Get Well Soup! A story about Melinoë, the ancient greek goddess of ghosts and nightmares, and an inconvenient (often dangerous) quest to gather ingredients for a tasty soup.

This piece is the cover for the story, which I intend to be a mostly-lighthearted introduction to the world and characters of Unsealed Lands (the universe that they belong to)! It will also include a handful of horror elements and adult content — most notably language, violence, and some nudity.

I've been working on this story since 2021, which I feel the need to share not because the time investment means the story is super polished and finally perfect now — in fact, it's pretty much the opposite — but because I think it'll help to set expectations for the work itself. After coming up with the concept and first draft (in collaboration with my lovely boyfriend), I spent the first couple years of this project trying to live up to my own ambitious vision of what I felt this story should become. "It should be a graphic novel with perfectly written dialogue, professional quality inks and colouring, and panels that flow together beautifully" I thought, and to be fair, I do think I'm perfectly capable of this — at least if skill were the only factor at play. Unfortunately, it's not, and long story short I ended up burning myself out trying to make this story as perfect as I wanted it to be.

Over the years I keep coming back to it though. For all the stress this particular story has given me, I do wholeheartedly love it, my characters, and the world they inhabit; I've never stopped drawing them or writing about them! So, armed with my somewhat outdated script and pages upon pages of thumbnails (thank you to my younger self), I'm ready to tackle Get Well Soup again — this time with a healthier and more forgiving outlook on the project.

Instead of making a book of perfectly polished pages, my plan now is simply to create and share the story in whatever way I can most readily do so. Some pages will likely end up being "unfinished" — a collection of annotated sketches, text descriptions of what happens (with spot art if I can manage it), or the like — while others might be more like the lined and coloured pages you'd expect from a comic-like medium.

Despite the wait and imperfections, I hope Get Well Soup will become a story that people look forward to and connect with, and I'm very excited to finally be sharing it with you! The first two pages are already done; please look forward to them :)
