Crawling out of my cave to share this illustration of the "Virgin Goddesses" from Greek and Roman Mythology (Hestia/Vesta, Athena/Minerva, & Artemis/Diana)

Teucer, Tecmessa, and Eurysaces

I tried a new art style. This definitely took the longest to complete in a while.

Hector and Andromache :). I just like it when there happy and will never be tragic.

Andromache clothing was inspired by this relief sculpture of a women breastfeeding, which I thought fit her. I don’t know why I picked the color red maybe it’s foreboding.

Hector’s armor was inspired by this, I don’t know where the sources came from for this image. But it looked cool, so I decided to use it.

I started reading The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood, and there’s a part where he kinda proclaims that he shuns battle because it would make the “women folk and wives” sad, which out of context is so funny. The way it’s phrased makes it sound like he’s more worried about making women sad than the morality of killing.

Child Ajax and Teucer for your troubles :')

Some sketches and artwork of Briseis. The green dress was inspired by this:

It’s a Hittite relief sculpture. I don’t know if it’s from the exact area in Anatolia that she would have been from, or if it’s from the right time frame, but it works for inspiration for designs. It’s supposed to be Briseis before the Trojan War. Honestly Briseis’s story is so tragic that I wanted to draw her in a more happy time. The second sketches are her during the Trojan War.
