Odysseus, Telemachus, and their descendent, Ulysses, in Legendary Fugitives be like...

Odysseus: Then I'll become the Monster

I will deal the blow

And I'll become the Monster

Like none they've ever known

Telemachus: Give me sirens and a cyclops

Give me giants and a hydra

I know life and fate are scary

But I wanna be legendary

Ulysses: Soon may the Wellerman come

To bring us sugar and tea and rum

One day, when the tonguing is done

We'll take our leave and go

This Goddess is having an existential life crisis!

Trying to figure out the best mouth that works for her after watching some Epic animatics again. Trying to make her mouth look like a owl beak. Until then, onto the helmet! Advice and thoughts are welcomed!

The Dark Urge and "No Longer You" from Epic the Musical fit so well together.

Not me eagerly awaiting Epic the Musical’s Underworld Saga release because I feel like it’s going to make for some KILLER HH crossover in the form of horrific Lucifer angst. Like, I’ve already got some ideas flowing. Whether anything comes of them who knows? Whether I remember them? WHO KNOWS. But as of right now? MMM so excited.

Like, just picture this w/ me for a second (I’m gonna put my brain-rot fantasies after the cut for all of y’all who could not give less of a shit):

Imagine the song “The Underworld.”

“This land confuses your mind / When does a man become a monster? / 558 men who died under your command”

It starts with Lucifer closing his eyes, then opening them in like a pitch black environment.

“Captain, Captain, Captain, Captain!”

The first three have of him running into like— more angelic spears which corral him into a corner. The last one he like looks up at just sees ALL the angels glaring at him.

“Why would you let the Cyclops live when ruthlessness is mercy!”

Here I imagine it starts w/ flashbacks of him giving Eve the apple. Then, there’s is like a giant black snake forms from/behind/around the angel and in some way like kinda just.. “consumes” Lucifer, like it jumps up in the air, comes back down on him. He flinched, and when he opens his eyes again he’s alone, on the ground in Hell, covered in blood, and has his demonic traits showing. Idk, just something super symbolically horrific that would def be something u see in a nightmare.

“All I hear are screams… / Every time I dare to close my eyes / I no longer dream / Only nightmares of those who’ve died. / (Nothing’s what it seems) Nothing’s what it seems / but in the underworld the past seems close behind”

Here Lucifer is just looking around at all the carnage and graphic depictions Hell has to offer. I also imagine at some point he sees his own demonic form and like— physically jumps back in fear/repulsion. Just like real graphic, horrific, nightmare fuel. The frames go by somewhat quickly, just a jumbled mess of gore and violence and terror.

“I keep thinking of the infant from that night / I keep thinking of the infant from that night.”

The like gorey images get faster, but also mixed in are actual images of him falling, angellic spears, him giving Eve the apple, Lilith, basically everything that you could imagine is part of his trauma. Like, they just flash by the screen faster and faster on repeat until u can’t even rlly tell what they are anymore. Then, after the second repeat of the verse, the music stops abruptly and he sits up straight in bed, looks around, realizes it was a dream, then it’s just a wide shot of him alone in his room, looking haunted and tired but not panicked anymore.

Idk if I would want him to be staying at the Hotel, or in his castle in his big like King sized bed w/ half the bed not slept in, but either way yummy angst.

——

Haha, oops, went on a little ramble there. Oh well. Hopefully someone will care and agree that this would be bombed. Or not. Who rlly gives a shit? Not me, I just needed to write this down XD.

I also have another idea for the song No Longer You but I’m not gonna go on a whole spiel, and instead just say it starts at “But that’s not a world I know” w/ Luci looking in the mirror at his demon form. Then form “I see a song of past romance” onward is Lucifer reflecting back on Lilith, the apple, his Fall, etc. Then finally on “But it’s no longer you” flash back to present day Lucifer who kinda just sighs and (maybe) sheaths his demonic attributes sadly/ashamed oh b4 walking away.

MMM don’t u love when you just have all the ideas but you forgot your stylus at home so you can’t even TRY to attempt to start a project ur never gonna finish?

Late sketch dump post! I still have the Circe Saga high, so have my versions of Odysseus, Telemachus, and their pirate descendent, Ulysses.

She's Done! This was a last-minute drawing I made for a fair entry. Since I'm back in a mythology phase once more, I'm a huge history nerd, I did something for Greek Mythology for a potential story. First off, Athena Pallas (Minerva in Roman Mythology)! The piece was inspired by not just the myths, but also the history of the Pantheon and the study of surviving statues that turned out to be originally painted. Yep, turns out those white marble statues during ancient times were painted. It's pretty cool! 

Along with the other projects I'm working on, I'll develop this wild story, Legendary Fugitives. The Greek now Roman Gods in an AU where the Empire never fell due to an industrial steampunk-like revolution. However, two of the gods, Athena being one of them, and a group of misfits find themselves in the murder of the previous Caesar thanks to a petty owl and a hungry lion. So they go on the run road trip from the Empire and the Olympians to deliver plans about a dangerous weapon that could cause the Empire to rule the entire world. If anyone has a good idea of who the second God should be, I'm open to ideas!

Seeing everyone's reaction to Tiresias voice reveal has been the funniest thing ever. Literally everyone thought he was going to be an old fart but we got an angel instead

LOOK AT MY BABIES!!!

I’m so happy with them!! I have one more in the kiln from the first batch but wasn’t able to grab it today, so I’ll update when that one is in hand. But look at how cool they look!! The black glaze is splotchy is a few places but I feel like it just adds to the ancient look of the pieces 💕

The mini skyphos was wheel thrown and has hand built handles, while the two plaques are simple slabs. All of these were made with our studios orange engobe and clear glaze, as well as the amaco brent Obsidian celadon glaze.

I've been thinking about changing my Odysseus design for EPIC. The one I have currently suits more The Odyssey than it suits the musical. But I'm not sure, I love this little fella, but it doesn't look like he belongs there. Thoughts?
