In honour of the release of God Games I have decided to draw the 6 challengers in Athena's way <3 <3. I love them so dearly you have no idea.

I can't over the fact that in Greek mythology when Hermes stolen Apollo's cattle he was only ONE DAY OLD! Imagine a f*cking baby stealing over FIFTY COWS in first day on earth.

And gets even better when Apollo discovers this and takes little Hermes to trial on Olympus.

All gods are laughing at the fact the culprit is just a little baby and Apollo is like:

Hephaestus :D

(yesterday i hadn't eaten all day and then at around 10pm i had a bunch of sugar and the inspiration to draw this hit me like a freight train. The orange side is scarring from when he was thrown off Olympus. His cane is robotic and powered by ichor. He's permanently bent to the side.)

Any of you ever seen this painting?

It's "Andromache" by Rochegrosse and it shows the moment where Andromache is violently torn away from her child Astyanax at the end of the Trojan War. Odysseus is watching the scene from the top of the stairs, waiting for the child to throw it from the ramparts of Troy.

I've seen the original a couple years ago in Rouen, France and let me tell you, I'm not much of an art enthusiast but this painting, this scene and this imaging is haunting my mind to this day. Few paintings have ever left me speechless and this is one of them
