My comic pitch is finally done!

Divine retribution has a temper. And a Southern accent, apparently. The anger of mortals is raw, but what about the anger of one of the furies? When bounty hunter Aarons temper gets the better of him, he lands both himself and his hire in hot water with the divine order. In a world of devils, angels, and mystical folk, calling on divine retribution can lead to some really impulsive decisions.

But hey, they got the guy, right?

alecto character design, you will get to meet her REAL soon in Punderworld. To those reading Fine print, yes this is the same character Bauphette

who in the future changed her "godly energy alignements" so design here is inspired to accommodate both Stjepan's character design and the fury design from greek pottery-----> specifically this one.

I found the x on the clothes to be inspiring for her dress as well as I wanted to incorporate snake motifs on her hands and feet in type of jewelry that "comes alive" when she's working.

The Erinyes (The Furies) — Iphigenia Among the Taurians by André Masson

[dnd-smash-pass-vs]

On the left, Dryad! Entangling vines and powerful charming magic if you're into that thing! Granted, if they like you and you're into nature they might try to charm you either way. Note that they can't move far from their bonded tree, so this is taking place in a forest.

On the right, Erinyes! 6 ft (1.8 m) fallen angels that carry "rope of entanglement" and can summon a friend! They go where they want, often refuse promotion to stronger forms because they just love being themselves, and enjoy seducing people. Being named after cthonic goddesses of vengeance, they hound mortals who break infernal contracts or laws...but will turn on the devils if they feel the mortal didn't get thier end of the bargain. They also like having children, and are very protective parents. They don't have horns though, that's just thier armor. Lot of people hating on the armor last time, but I doubt your work uniform looks especially flattering either.

Hades (Ancient Greek: Ἁιδης), is the God of the Underworld, Funeral Rites, Necromancy, Ghosts, Curses, Dreams, Mining, Metals, and Earthly Fertility, reigns as the sovereign King of Haides, the realm of the Underworld that bears his name.

Namely the Curse of Erinyes, the Curse of the Erinyes is a curse of misery and misfortunes.

As seen here : “GOD OF CURSES & MASTER OF THE ERINYES”

Haides was the god of the most potent curses, those which invoked the fury of the Erinyes. The god was sometimes described despatching an angry ghost from the underworld accompanied by an Erinys to avenge a crime, especially patricide or matricide.

The Erinyes had various other functions as well. They carried out curses, especially those of a parent, and also personified those curses; they were invoked as guarantors of oaths; they prevented humans from obtaining too much knowledge about the future; and they punished sinners in the Underworld. In fact, Heraclitus, an early Greek philosopher, wrote that the Erinyes had control over all cosmic justice.

SO LIKE… CHILD OF HADES WHO has some control or say over the Erinyes?!?! they have their own will so laos like the Erinyes favoring a child of Hades and casually harassing people for them?!?!

Trying to brush the dust off my tablet by doing some pose studies specifically with larger bodies in preparation for trying to draw a plus size character of mine I'm still trying to nail down the body shape of.

Hymns/prayers for the Dead

I’ve never really considered reading/ writing hymns for the dead because I guess I never “needed” them, but with the tragic events going on the world right now, multiple gen-c-des and atrocities, I’ve felt moved to write these. Like I said in my last prayer post, keep speaking up, b0yc0tting, and keep praying! You can technically apply these prayers with any dead, but I had the m@rtyrs of Su-dan, Con- go, Ethiopia, and Pale - stine (breaking them up on purpose) in mind, as well as anyone else who have lost their lives due to the terrible events going on in this world and from their oppression. Also, sorry for any spelling or grammar errors.

We call to Hermes Kαταιβάτης (he who leads souls down to the underworld), guider of souls. Immortal guide, lover of humankind, you take special care of us when we leave this earth, and your involvement shows the Gods’ love of humankind, as there is a God with us every step of the way, even after our deaths. Gracious God, during these times we ask for your grace, and for you to take extra care of the souls that find their way past the river Styx. Everyday now, thousands of people die from acts of cruelty from oppressors emboldened by hubris. We ask you to treat these souls with added care, especially those of children, taken from life too early, while you escort them to the dread queen's home or wherever their final resting place may lie. Charm them with your wand and bless their heavy eyelids, bringing them a peaceful end for their final rest. Oh Lord, guider of mortals, grant a sacred end to those who lived the best they could.

(Greek pronunciation: Kah-teh-vah-tiis(ees))

—————————————————————————————————————

To the Savior of the dead and the noble queen herself, we call to you! Dread Persephone and shadowy Hades, though you may not take every soul into your wide walls, you watch over the dead nonetheless, those who wander your fields of flowers. We thank you for your mercy towards our souls, notably of the most restless ones. We ask that they can find joy in the afterlife, especially those who were robbed of it. Not only do you take in these souls, Lovely Persephone, you exact justice on their behalf, with your kindly attendants, or daughters in some ways, the Erinyes, especially during these harrowing times. All we ask is for justice and a peaceful afterlife for the many martyred people of all the atrocities going on. We thank you, Hades and fair-tressed Persephone!

“Fear the prayers of the oppressed.” I heard that today and I thought it fit. The Gods are with us and the oppressed during these times 🤲 They hear every prayer and they are outraged as we are. Keep up every action and don’t forget about our fellow humans suffering and don’t stop fighting!! No act of oppression goes past them and they hear everything. It’s been almost a year for Su-Dan, almost 6 months, 160+ days for Pale - stine, and years for Con-go. The Gods count each day and count each person who say and do nothing. I just want add some of my favorite excerpts that get me through these hard times and reminds me that the Gods care (which we already knew, but yknow).

“The gods are not blind to men with blood upon their hands. In the end the black (kelainai) Erinyes bring to obscurity that one who has prospered in unrighteousness and wear down his fortunes by reverse.” - Aeschylus, “Agamemnon”

“Hear, Tisiphone, Allekte, noble Megaira, revered goddesses whose Bacchic cries resound. Nocturnal and clandestine, you live deep down in the dank cave by the sacred water of the Styx. Men's unholy designs do incur your anger; rabid and arrogant, you howl over Necessity's dictates, clothed in animal skins, you cause the deep pains of retribution.” - (First part of) Orphic hymn 69

“Hear me and be gracious, 0 renowned Eumenides, O pure daughters of the great Chthonic Zeus and of lovely Persephone, fair-tressed maiden. Over the lives of impious mortals you keep a careful eye, in charge of Necessity, you punish the unjust.”

(First part of) Orphic hymn 70

“For whoever knows the right and is ready to speak it, far-seeing Zeus gives him prosperity…” - Hesiod “Work and days”

“You princes, mark well this punishment you also; for the deathless gods are near among men and mark all those who oppress their fellows with crooked judgements, and reck not the anger of the gods. For upon the bounteous earth Zeus has thrice ten thousand spirits, watchers of mortal men, and these keep watch on judgements and deeds of wrong as they roam, clothed in mist, all over the earth. And there is virgin Justice, the daughter of Zeus, who is honoured and reverenced among the gods who dwell on Olympus, and whenever anyone hurts her with lying slander, she sits beside her father, Zeus the son of Cronos, and tells him of men's wicked heart, until the people pay for the mad folly of their princes who, evilly minded, pervert judgement and give sentence crookedly.” - Hesiod “Works and Days”

CHARMED 4x03 - "Hell Hath No Fury" (2001) Dir. Chris Long

[dnd-smash-pass-vs]

If you're confused as to why the worg's here, I let the top 8 of the loser's bracket into the main tournament just for kicks. ANYWAY! On the left, The Worg! A wolf-like creature that knows 2 or 3 languages and will swiftly turn on thier rider if mistreated! Last they bothered listing the size they were 3 ft (91 cm) at the shoulder, 5 ft (1.5 m) long. But the picture shows it at nearly twice that, around 5 ft (1.5m) tall and 8 ft (2.4 m) long. Whichever works for you I suppose, maybe it's regional.

On the right, Erinyes! 6 ft (1.8 m) fallen angels that carry "rope of entanglement" and can summon a friend! They go where they want, only answer to rulers of hell despite being "lesser" devils, often refuse promotion to stronger forms because they just love being themselves, and enjoy seducing people. Being named after cthonic goddesses of vengeance, they hound mortals who break infernal contracts or laws...but will turn on the devils if they feel the mortal didn't get thier end of the bargain. They also like having children, and are very protective parents. They don't have horns though, that's just thier armor.
