artfight attack for @birbmonster !!!

[birbmonster]

woke up at 6 to feed the cats and blearily made sure to jot down the "genius post" rattling around in my skull so i wouldnt forget

Modern college AU of the Iliad I did for a concept class last semester 🤩🤩🤩

There are briefs for how the info/roles are interpreted but TLDR Greece (Sparta) and Troy are frathouses and they’re fighting over Helen who is represented by a revered and beloved horse mascot. I think everything more or less gets explained here, as for the ending after Patroclus dies (gets detained) Achilles does his whole thing knocks many people unconscious and then is expertly disarmed by Hektor, eventually ends up getting arrested as well for both trespassing and also aggravated assault, then instead of the two of their ashes getting mixed together in death they’re put in the same holding cell lmao.

Very pleased with the chara section then errmmmmm for my locations I originally had other ideas for their ultimate stylistic execution much similar to what you’re seeing here but probably a bit tighter; in reality these are actually my initial roughs that I colour blocked that I do still like because I fucking hate the ‘final versions’ I otherwise came up with after trying to follow some Advice. So now I’m more inclined to share everything now that I swapped it out finally lmfao

My Hermes and Calypso Final design... I think, only time will tell if I change it again 〒▽〒

[birbmonster]

Hello!

Favourite colour: Not sure it depends. I like a lot of colours it really depends on the shade... I'd have to say green

Currently reading: Only the occasional fanfic right now but I am planning to hopefully read the Illiad and the Odyssey soon because I got into greek mythology through adaptation media (specifically Epic the Musical and the Hades video game) and I want to look into the actual myths more

Last film: I don't watch movies often but it was the HTTYD live action that my family dragged me to see

Last song: I think it was There Are Other Ways from the Epic the Musical soundtrack... probably a cover of it

Sweet, sour, or salty: Can't pick between sweet and salty (is it clear I am an indecisive person). It depends on what I feel like

Coffee or Tea: Always tea!!

Currently working on: Artfight attacks and designs for the Epic the Musical characters (hyperfixation whirling in my mind). I hope to make animatics soon I haven't posted a video on my YouTube in ages

@modiano-urania @jaxpsylla @takoyamaaa @madness-of-the-masses (i didn't realise we were mtuuals??) hi chat

Get to know your mutuals!

*grabs mic and clears throat* Thank you so much @jintaka-hane and @igiulss for tagging me! I love these things and I love you girls! ❤️

Favorite Colors: Black, purple, and red. I was a bit of a goth teen, and my favorite colors never really got to change 😎

Currently Reading: SMUT! *snort* I used to care a lot about what I read, trying to stick to 'good literature' and the classics and all, but I'm now at a stage of my life where I stoped giving a f*ck and now I read what the hell I feel like. Judgment be damned. So I'm going through the ACOTAR series, devouring them like a madwoman. I have Edgar Allan Poe's short stories giving me the stink eye from my nightstand, and I might use him as a palate cleanser after!

Last Song: Oh, I've been cranking the Imperfect soundtrack I created on Spotify to get me in the mood for the next chapter, and the last one that played was, curiously enough, Imperfect by Stone Sour. I can't get enough of Corey Taylor, that man is a God!

Last Film: I barely watch any TV. I read and write in my spare time, so the last movie I saw was in the movie theatre and I took my son, so we got to see the live action of Lilo & Stitch! I enjoyed it a lot! 🥰

Sweet/Salty/Sour: All of them???? I mean... I can't choose! I have a very sweet tooth, but I love sour things... and salty snacks? UGH! Why are you doing this to me??? Gun to the head: sweet!

Tea or Coffee: Coffee. 100% coffee. Expressos, please. Or how we call it here in Portugal: bica. Actually was discussing this with Giuls just yesterday. I need at least 4 of them on a daily basis. 😍

Working On: Too many things at the same time, actually 😆 I'm working on Imperfect, Kid's Meet-Cute and I'm also throwing a few paragraphs for chapter 2 of All of Yourself, as well as trying to plan and write a very challenging longfic for my main account with ships like: SaNami, LawBin, Ace&Vivi and ZoTash.

I'm going to tag *checks to see who hasn't been tagged yet* @physics-of-one-piece @laidenbreecatchall @isabeauwolf and anyone else who wants to jump in on the fun wagon!

Troy Saga trio!

Man what a bunch of chill dudes! I love how they all get to return home safe and sound and have their homoerotic friendship strengthened!

Design rambles below lol

Once again clothing is a mixture of Mycenaean fashion and the more common Hellenistic fashion Ancient Greece is usually depicted in.

- For their chiton sleeves, I kinda wanted to make it a sliding scale with Ody in the middle. Since in the musical polites n eurylochus kinda act as two opposite ends of a spectrum? Being kind, merciful and open arms vs being cautious, ruthless, and prioritizing whatever ut takes to me sure you and/or the people you care about survive (kinda kfuck you, I got my own’ type vibes.) All that to say it’s why the men have different chiton sleeves. Eurylochus is more reserved so he’s the most ‘covered up’, polites is very friendly and open so he’s more ‘exposed’ and Ody is in the middle with just a sleeveless look.

-eury and Ody have matching belts because they’re both royalty/nobility (in my headcannon Eury came from a humble background but since he’s, you know, ody’s brother in law, he’s nobility now and he’s second in command of the crew). The triangle is supposed to be a symbol of Ithaca’s mountains and the tip of Athena’s spear.

- I headcannon that although ody’s men don’t all have cohesive uniforms, they all wear at least some sorta of green cloth with red/orange or light yellow accents, since I’m making it that Ithaca’s main color is olive green bc…ya know, the olive trees lol.

- polites has a lot of scars because I really enjoyed this interpretation/characterization I’ve seen some other fellow artists do where polites was a sweet man before the war, became a BEAST of a solider during the war, but near the end of the war and afterwards, became so haunted by his actions that he adopted his ‘open arms’ life philosophy and tried being his old self as a way to cope/somehow atone for his actions.

- Like I said in my wip post of these designs, I hit polities with the chubby beem bc I want him to come across as soft, warm and inviting, like you KNOW that man gives the best bear hugs. Because of that I actually kinda partially based my design on a cousin of mine lol. He’s a big, chill, kind hearted guy that kinda has a similar life philosophy to polites lol.

-Ody looks and carries himself more like a trickster in my design because well…it’s king Odysseus. He’s the grandson of Hermes’ and Athena’s chosen for a reason lol.
