How to train your (non) mechanical dragon

Here is my version of @its-all-clouds-in-this-noggin Apollo DTIYS!

When I saw the original I got hit by inspiration for the first time in months and I knew I just had to try. The crow with its little bowtie and tophat was too cute!

Admittedly, my version is very different from the original, but I had a lot of fun and I am really happy with how it turned out :)

Some process images under the cut!

Polished sketch

Linart + flat colors

First shadows and highlights

TOA Poster? Here you go👌🏻

[arisketchart]

I ask the aid of Apollo Agyieus- overseer of streetside shrines, eternal friend of the boundless agora, a savior in shaken times marked by despair.

Protect our most vulnerable, averter of all evil, in this wake of unrelenting violence.

Shelter them, bright helper in distress, and shield their lives behind your lustrous light.

Return them, he of sanctuaries, and ensure their safe passage under your unfaltering gaze.

God of humanity, you will not forsake us. For as long as we can grasp at hope, you will be there to inspire it.

I finally cosplayed the wet cat

[arisketchart]

So I happened to have Midas Touch on my Apollo playlist and suddenly I connected the dots

[arisketchart]

I feel like too many people don't know that Papadopoulos is, in fact, an actual greek surname and not just some gibberish rick made up.

[arisketchart]

we have literally never been more back !!!

Attention Campers: The siblings are at it again. The head of the Apollo cabin has asked pre-emptively that you don't come banging on his cabin's door to complain if you hear show tunes at dawn.

Drew Apollo in pretty pinterest outfits. He's so sketchy but my itch has been scratched.

[arisketchart]

Hear me out, Apollo being very pale, aka moon kissed skin, because the sun is his domain and he is immune to it, and Artemis being tanned, aka sun kissed skin because she is always near Apollo

I really like the term of Sun kissed and Moon kissed skin, It's so Apollo and Artemis coded

Clown to clown communication

Can’t tell if I prefer him with blue or yellow eyes 😭 (If you’ve seen this before… no you didn’t)

[arisketchart]

apollo was an anxious and people pleasing child who assumed his love language of openly sharing interests and knowledge and learning from each other was universal among the gods instead of incredibly rare and it caused him an endless amount of grief

apollo was literally just trying to bond in the only way he knew how and zeus was perceiving his behavior as incredibly antagonistic and threatening

little apollo: :( :( :( maybe I'm not picking things up fast enough. father must be so annoyed by my incompetence and slowness :( :( I surely need to get better!

zeus, looking at this genius child who's already on his sixth(!!!????) domain: he is not out to get me he is Not out to get me I'm just imagining things he is NOT out to get me

A messy sketch I did of Telemachus and Athena. I wouldn’t like to thank my friend @margaretkart for educating me about Telemachus and Athena’s relationship. I absolutely adore them and they just became my favorite mythological couple.
