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.

me when i have to put proper citations: ugh this is so annoying who even cares what i do in the footnotes

me when i can't find a source because it hasn't been quoted correctly: i am going to track down the authors and they will answer to me. i will find out who caused this suffering. there will be blood.

Was just informed that "any sufficiently deep enthusiasm is indistinguishable from academic rigor" and hoo boy we are really in a crisis of anti-intellectualism.
