Fourth in the Series: Demeter!

More info under the cut

Lore notes:

-Demeter is obviously a fertility goddess. Not in the LO sense, she's just a fertility goddess, is venerated as one, and is one of the figureheads of a cult dating back to to the neolithic age. -She did not fight on the front lines during the titanomachy; she was the supply force of ambrosia and thus did not have to fight much. However, at the tail end of the war, her farm was ransacked by the titans and she was left with a scar crossing her face. Her fields were burnt to a crisp and many nymphs were lost in the process. -Demeter is made of earth, and is a perfect equal to Poseidon, made of the sea. -She raised Persephone in the mortal realm -She lost her bid for queen of the mortal realm, which occurred in the midst of her banishment from Olympus. Hades voted in favor of her, after they secured a deal regarding the volcanoes, but Zeus, Hera, and Poseidon voted against her. -Top center is her true form, only seen in times of great despair. -Everyone on Olympus is waiting for Demeter's inevitable return.

Design notes:

-Demeter is made of fresh earth. She is a stronger, more vibrant green than Persephone because she was designed after tall forest/jungle plants, which have more chlorophyll to tolerate the sun's rays and are thus darker but less colorful (see: Persephone) -Her hair is wheat/cereal stalks, usually tied into a cornucopia style "bun" -Her hair always defies gravity in some way -She wears a lot of furs and natural materials, and her clothes are always some shade of green, brown, or yellow. -In her hair are three flowers: 1. A poppy, her sacred flower 2. A pink lily, modelled after Persephone and 3. An orange lily, modeled after Persephone's act of wrath. -She has a human disguise due to her time with mortals, and later, her refuge at Eleusis. -Demeter has "horns" of some kind whenever she is in a threatened position. The top and bottom middle are her at times of great despair.

The wrath of Kore, the birth of Persephone...

My IG has the full story but basically in my rewrite(?), Kore was barely 100 & was going through some heavy shit. The deaths of Krokos and Withy pushed her over the edge. When she made it to the sacred fields she went on a rampage, even going as far as to use the corpses as fertilizer.

The few that survived dubbed Kore 'Persephone' and for the next thousands of years, she spent her time training and honing her powers. Putting as much distance between herself and her act wrath as much as possible.

NOTE; She looks more like Demeter in this 'form' as to show where she gets her wrath from.

read pt 1 here

idk what to call this series yet, it's basically just LO but "what could have/should have happened"

if anyone has any suggestions pls lmk!!

for anyone curious, the brush I use is the only one I could find from the collection Rachel uses (it's called Kyle's Builder Brush and it's on Gumroad for free/pay what you want), unfortunately the rest of the brush collection is paywalled behind Adobe Creative Cloud (if anyone knows where I can find it though that would be super appreciated, the only lead I have is someone on reddit who sourced it ages ago through DM's but then decided to catch the moral cooties so I'm waiting to hear back from a sort-of-still-active user who got the brushes from them back then, it's a whole ass process) , and the font is from the Jason Brubaker set which is on Gumroad for $26

anyways enjoy this pt 2 to the last post, I'm gonna try and post these chronologically but sometimes I just wanna draw what I wanna draw so that means stuff might end up being out of order sometimes. If it is, I'll provide proper context and relevant inspiration so y'all don't have to worry about getting lost <3

Hi yeah so for my first post here, have a quick LO Morpheus reinterpretation. Again, I say this is a reinterpretation bc I know some ppl don’t mind RS’s design and handling of her, and some really like and enjoy it…but I am not among them.

So here she is. I’m going for a Lady Dimitrescu vibe.

Quick Stamp Edit

I fucking hate the dress she's wearing why is it so plain why is she so misshapen and lumpy why is her eye like that wHY-

💛💙 & 💖🧡 AU by kores_diary💘

I imagine this is the moment Hera had to come to Hades and tell him about Zeus’ plan to send him to the Underworld.

AU - Where Perse dresses in Mortal Realm war gear to visit Ares in the night after battle. What are some weird couples quirks these two would have? I think Ares would quickly succumb to Persephone’s skin care routine and eventually become more into it than she is.

The Baffling Case of LO's Onomatopoeia

I will admit, I never really used Tumblr much prior to this past year, only on and off, but I do know what people are talking about when they reference "Tumblr humor".

So is this something that's a symptom of Rachel's extremely dated 2012-era Tumblr humor? Is it something she genuinely thinks translates well into a legitimate professionally-made webcomic? Or is it an actual error where she's writing these literal sound effects and actor cues in the roughs/scripts and then her assistants put them in there without realizing it's supposed to be implied and not said aloud? Because it definitely feels like amateur actors reading the non-spoken things aloud off the cue card.

Maybe it's a combination of all three?

Either way, y'all know what time it is. I asked a bunch of my ULO pals to put together some of their favorite examples of 'literal' sound effects and actor cues so I could replace them (or outright remove them) to help the panels flow better and not break the immersion. Here are a few of them.

(didn't even spell 'groan' right in that last panel omg lol she's just saying the word 'Grown' for no reason >.>)

A star is born 🌟

I just had to redesign Hera’s fertility goddess form. In all ways possible, I wanted her to be opposite of Kronos, hence the total makeover.

I based her color palette off of a neutron star! Neutron stars are technically dead stars and she was “dead” there for a minute so I figured that would go hand in hand.

Hope you like my redesign (click for better resolution) ✨

do you pencil traditionally and then colour digitally, or do you just have a very convincing digital pencil brush? I really love the organic, sketchy feel of your work.

I always sketch and ink on paper first, then scan the piece and color it digitally.
