HELLO EVERYBODYYY

Heyyy so, I've been listening to The Epic musical lately and I came up with some designs for the gods:)

I call it the God saga, I'll make the ppl+ monsters later

plus some Artemis and Dyonisus because I love them and I didn't want to leave blank spaces.

Rambling below👇

Okay, first we have Athena and Ares, as well as Hermes and Eolious(she was my first design, but I'm not a big fan of it). I liked a lot making Ares helmet:), and I thought of giving Athena a cape made of feathers that could work as wings!

I really liked the designs of Hermes were his eyes didn't appear (credits to @gigizetz for the idea!) and while I wanted to do something similar, I tried to make my own thing by using a blindfold instead. Plus, I made him look more humanlike to have a more obvious parentage with Ody.

Then we have Hera and Zeussy. I really liked her design, it screamed Classy Queen to me, and while drawing her I felt she was about to start singing at any moment. While making her hair I remembered my little pony Equestria girls, and I was like "I have to make her hair look like a cow's tail". I wanted to give her some sort of chal to make the colors more appealing, but it didn't come out well... On the other hand, my design of Zeus is exactly how I pictured him. He looks like a bodybuilder, unlike Ares, who looks like a powerhouse. I wanted to make Zeus look like someone who cares more about his appearance than about practicality, which can be seen in his clothes, skin, pose and crown. Plus, I made it look red so it would stand out and get everyone's attention. Also I made him wing tattoos because I can.

Then we have Apollo and Aphrodite! I didn't really put too much though when making him. I just gave him kind of a sun crown(?), Green eyes to represent Artemis, a Hyacinth and laurels. I think he'd be the type to carry his exes around.

Then we have Aphrodite, and boy do I love her design! Originally she was going to be blond w/ pink flowers, but her being a redhead suits her a lot. If I have to be honest, I never drew characters with little to no clothes on, and I was embarrassed at first of making her, but even if there was the option of giving her clothes, it wouldn't feel like the vision of Aphrodite I had at all. I was inspired mainly by the Hades games when I made her, Hermes and Zeus, and I don't regret it tbh. I also gave her pigeons!

Now we have Circe and Poseidon, who I think are my faves. When I was thinking of making her, I was heavily inspired by both @gigizetz Circe, young Shakira and Esmeralda from the hunchback of Notre Dame. I also wanted her to have a crazy bunch of tattoos, each for every single spell she casted. I also liked to give her the inverted heart earrings to make some foreshadowing.

Now, POSEIDON. Boy do I like how it turned out. I mean- the Clothes? The crown? The algae hair? The thing in his fingers!? And let's not talk about the seashell for a beard. I love it. It's interesting and intimidating and I would believe it if you told me this is the mighty sea god. Also, his skin was heavily inspired by @gigizetz like many of my designs. Are you perhaps a muse or smt?

Then we have Calypso. Gosh her design turned out really good. The top of her clothes are of the same "outfit" you could say, these being from back when she was sent to the island. Then she made her own lower dress. I think if someone stayed so long in that place, they would make a lot of seashell adornments to pass time. I covered her eyes for three things: one, so Ody doesn't notice she is a Titaness; two, to symbolize how love-blind she is, and three, to also symbolize how she ignores Odysseus's problems and makes a "blind eye" about it.

And Finally, Hephaestus. I redesinged him so many times it feels like a crime. I'm not even sure if I liked the final result, but there's definitely many things I liked. One of them is the tattoo (I'm making a lot of them lately), the hairstyle and the sling on his leg. Still, I'm not sure why he feels so... Simple. I mean, he's the god of forges, fire and FREAKING VOLCANOES. Yet, this feels like I only took the "forges" part.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed if you made it this far:)

CHAPTER 6 IS OUT EVERYBODY!!!!

I NEED TO TALK ABOUT MY OCS OR I WILL EXPLODE AND THAT'S A THREAT

Reblog if you’re bored and you want anons.

Heyyy

Another oc art

Yeah

Maybe there are a few good reasons to fear the Mutants.

Close up version + speedpaint under the cut

Pyro out!

I made a Hermes redesign!

I like this one better:)

Alternative looks bellow 👇 (I learned how to use the "keep reading" thing people!!!)

See ya!

On another note, I just got to season three and. Wow. Looks like we're finally getting somewhere!

Tbh, I really hated season 1, and season 2 wasn't really memorable except for a few episodes(like the fight between Tom and D'Angelo), but this one? It's actually really cool!

There's more non forced interactions between the characters (+ interactions between the kids and the parents! They have actual personalities and goals now!) and the whole "realm" thing is highlighting the more biological side of the franchise, as well as the references to RoB, DoB and Rtte AND the mistery of the residents that came before.

Not only that, but this season made me like Jun! Which is incredible considering the first impression she gave me, although I think the bad reviews of the show shaped my idea of her from the very start. Still, she feels more organic and complex in a non-cringey way, and is far more relatable! And, to my personal opinion, her issues and characteristics felt-well handled. Really loved the Medusa Episode.

Also, gotta love her older brother, their rilvary is nicely done, and makes me root for both of them. Eugene is such a fun character to see, even if he's a moron, and I found both his and Buzzaw's (I dont know how to spell it) screentime enjoyable, even more their interactions!

I also loved Webmaster, he has the most personality out of the dragons and matches his riders' freak, but I think it would've been better if he was bigger, his legs were a bit more separated or his feet(?) smaller and his face not as roundy. Still love him tho. My favourite duo besides Alex and Feathers.

Still, even if I loved the fact that they showed some of the dragons from the original franchise, it really rubs on how badly done the new designs are. I even got used to them, but when the M. Nightmare appeared you could see how different they were in style. It felt more like a crossover than a continuation of the saga, which, yes, I did say it would be better to be it's own thing, but in the sense of following a unique plot and archetypes, not in defering it's designing. Even if its in another timeline, there has to be a sense of continuity and similarity to remember us that it's Httyd, the saga of dragon riders with very unique dragon designs, not another generic series that just so happens to be about dragons.

Pyro Out!

Welp, I tried.

I may have bever mentioned it, but I'm a Httyd fan to the core, and the hiperfixation is back and it hit me like a bullet train.

So, after going berserker and watching a RoB marathon, I remembered Nine Realms exists, and yes, it gave me the ick, but I decided to try it out.

You see, I dont like hating things, I need a VALID REASON to actually hate something or at least feel that my hate is acceptable.

Add that with my desire to expand the httyd lore and marvel myself with ANY content, ohhh boyy-

So yeah, so far I've seen season 1 and I'm on chapter 3 of season 2, and to be honest? I expected worse, although that show has already done a LOT of damage to my heart.

Like, wtf is THIS????

It's just there. Staring at me. Evil thing.

I literally searched "httyd ugly unicorn thing" and this EMBODIMENT OF THE WORST THINGS ALIVE showed up. There's no way you can tell me that thing is "cute", it's EVERYTHING but CUTE! I also really hated Jun on that episode, but even more the writers. How can you compare something like KILLING in SELF DEFENCE with bringing ducking SATAN to the human world because "I love unicorns??" Girl not even my eleven year old sister would do something like that and she LOVES unicorns. Also, did I forget to say she never apologised? Like, just joked about the incident and acted like Tom was the one in the wrong? What kind of message is that writers!?

On another note, I really like Tom's mom, is the only caracter that seems to be her own person in the entire series besides Alex, hope she doesn't turn out bad or anything.

Which brings me to my biggest problem with this series: It's not its own thing. The literal second episode is just a compilation of parallels between Tom &Thunder and Hiccup & Toothless, and I hate it. "Oh look! It's just like your favorite dragon riders, they are so similar! They are descendant of Hiccup and Toothless, so it's just like seeing them reflected in them! It's the same! Come and let us take your money!!!"

This show is doing everything at its power to be "just like httyd", when it's not: It's a whole new scenario with a interesting concept with the whole ICARUS thing (even though I'm sure they just copied that from Camp Cretaceus, given with how much tnr relies on its own creativity) as well as the one-season mysteries, the semi-likeable teenagers which is asking a lot in media, and a huge chance of LORE EXPANDING (my fav thing everrr) and this show could be SO MUCH BETTER but they just stick with creating parallels and showing how this spin-off is just identical to the other shows and it's exactly the same and ARGGHHGGGHHH-

Let them have their OWN UNIQUE BOND so that we can like them BECAUSE they are TOM AND THUNDER and NOT BECAUSE THEY RESEMBLE HICCUP AND TOOTHLESS. Let me like the rest of the cast BECAUSE WE GOT NEW RIDERS, not because they are all the NEW RIDERS WE'VE GOT.

I want to like this show, I really do, but it's getting harder every time I click the next episode, because there are so many lost ideas, plotholes and terrible designs (which I dont usually complain about, I never minded the character design of any media until this show), that I just pray to myself that the next chapter will be better, because I'm not sure what to expect will ruin my day or make it harder for me to watch.

But I want to be an informed hater, or even perhaps a unlucky enjoyer, so I'll keep watching, and I'll try to undertand why so many people hate it, and justify the few who love it.

Pyro Out.

You think you're dumb because you failed a test, I think I'm dumb because yesterday I ate an apple and it separated my braces from my teeth, and the wire practically came out, leaving me to reposition them painfully. Now they are stinging horribly my inner cheeks until I get to the dentist (Hopefully soon). Today I ate another apple, and surprised myself when my braces came out and it hurted like hell. Again.

We're not the same.
