Get ready with me to build a giant wooden horse
Did I just spend 3 days drawing that eyeliner meme? Yes. Yes, I did.
I'm very late to this year's inktober but nevertheless I'm here))) I decided to combine the official prompt list with the classicstober here, specifically prompt 15 - dagger and prompt 20 - Odysseus. I don't know, if I will draw any other prompts, but this one was fun and I hope you like it :)
The dagger was based on Mycenaean daggers in the national archeological museum in Athens and some Mycenaean dagger reproductions I saw, the scene depicted is Odysseus hunting Athena' boar. I hc this dagger was either a gift from Athena herself or from Autolycus, I haven't decided yet.

When does a man become a monster?
( Yes I know that it's supposed to be "whose") (the following is just a rant because I'm so normal about this)
Something i wanted to take into account with the second image is how Odysseus veiws Penelope and Telemachus ( Particularly him). At the time that the war ends Telemachus would be roughly 10 (i think Penelope would likely be in her 30's?) But he doesn't know that version of them. All he knows is what he left them as, ex. "I look into your eyes and I Think back to the son of mine, You're as old as he was When I left for war" I think this adds to his inner turmoil.
one last thing Is that this is not a finished design of odysseus, It's just simply him in armor. The reason he does not have a helmet is a nod to book 6 of the iliad in which astyanax cries when seeing his father hector with one on ( I like to think he would've Reacted the same to Odysseus, And he takes it off out of sympathy) ( I am referring to mainly the musical version of him there)

Monster (Touchstarved MC Rewrite)
I've been really loving the songs from Epic: The Musical and decided to do a lyrics rewrite of my favourite song from the Underworld Saga, "Monster," for the Touchstarved MC, because I thought it was fitting, possibly for an MC turning to the dark side.
I did a lyrics rewrite for another song from Epic for my Alchemist!MC and his mentor a while ago, but I didn't change too many of the lyrics, so I might revisit that one in the future.
MC: How has everything been turned against us?
How did suffering become so endless?
How am I to finally wash this blood away?
Or do I need to change?
MC: I'm surrounded by the ghosts of minds they’ve lost,
Haunted by the blood and death that I have caused.
What if the greatest threat we'll find is not the mist,
But this?
MC: What if I'm the monster?
What if I'm in the wrong?
What if I'm the Soulless that's been lurking in the Fog?
These hands of mine had killed them.
What if I must bear the guilt?
What if after this curse goes away,
I’ll remain a monster, still?
What if I'm the monster…
MC: Does the temple bear the guilt when they kill?
Do their deaths keep the priests up in the night?
Or do they take and tame in the name of faith,
And believe they have served their gods right?
MC: When a childhood friend makes a promise and then
Stabs the back of the one they swore to save,
Did they learn to be colder when they got older,
And now they can save themselves the pain?
MC: When an exiled mage builds a child a cage,
Does she fear all the lines that she must cross?
Or she commands respect, keeps her feelings in check
To find answers regardless of the cost.
MC: When a traveller goes unravelling the mind
Of a stranger who helped them, are they vile?
Or do they have no say, made to drive insane
And cursed to survive?
MC: If I became the monster, and threw
that guilt away…
Would that make me stronger?
Would it keep the curse at bay?
If I became the monster to everyone but me…
What if there’s no price too high,
As long as I am free?
If I became the—
Caravanners: Monster…
MC: Oh, ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves.
Traveller: Monster…
MC: And deep down I know this well.
MC: I lost my best friend, I lost my mentor, my faith,
Too many lives slain, I cannot wait!
I must find the key to what I seek, or else more will bleed.
So if I must face down dangerous trials and battles,
I'll go where the Senobium won't travel,
And if I must send another innocent to madness
in an instant so that I can end this…
MC: Then I'll become the monster!
I will deal the blow!
And I'll become a monster like none they've ever known!
So what if I'm the monster tearing through the Shroud?
I must become the monster if I’m to make it out!
Priests: Monster!
MC: I’ll find the key!
Syndicate: Monster!
MC: And if I must—
Mentor: Monster!
MC: Oh, ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves.
Kuras, Leander, Vere, Ais, Mhin: Monster!
MC: I’ll become the monster…
