@dumplingtrait
fire fire fire..he actually was so quick to flirt with her? easy to talk to. these two had two bars going PRETTY QUICKLY.. i think it must be because they both had that attractive moodlet a going on ? im not even too sure but they had SUCH an easy conversation and house 1 has REALLY BEEN BRINGING THEIR GAME SO FAR. i mean not everyone is going to like her.and not everyone is going to have the capability to deal with how much of an ego she has..but lamar didnt mind.she was like MAKE A FASHION LINE OUT OF THINGS ID WEAR. JUST ME. like bitcchhhh... haha ! but seriously a gentleman.

Who doesn’t want love and affection from their partner after a long day of work? Not Ume, apparently, since she’s being a brat and keeps turning her head so Hotaru can’t give her a proper smooch. (She just wants extra attention.)
This took forever. Was it mildly out of my skill set as an artist? Yes. Did that stop me? Almost.
Used this as a reference, pretty sure it’s by Yves Pires (?) correct me if I’m wrong, it was oddly difficult finding a name for the sculpture:
How could I not indulge?

im tired of seeing people genuinely say that Astarion "looks too old". Or get upset when he makes An Expression and theres lines on his forehead when his brows crease or raise, and laugh lines when he smirks. Sorry that the 200 year old abused elf* has signs of Being Alive and not being Etched Marble.
*[i get elves are forever beings but astarion has lived a rough fucking life - he should show signs goddamnit.]

Hello. How would you categorize Achilles/Patroclus' faces? (Traditionally speaking)Masculine/Feminine/Androgynous? Beautiful/Pretty/Handsome? Any more hcs on how do you picture their looks? Or does it differ among AUs?
Thank you, and have a nice weekend!
I don't know that I usually classify faces this way. I also have enjoyed a lot of different versions of Achilles and Pat and don't think any are particularly "wrong" or anything.
My first introduction into a visual representation of Patroclus was through Hades game, and I am partial to his design there. I also truly love @lady-forest's drawing of Pat here which is close to the Hades design, but a little different. Variations on Hades!Patroclus will always have me all heart-eyes.
A lot of how I envision their faces will depend on their age. Faces change a lot between the ages of 15 and 25. I had a silly post a while back about different artists' representations of Achilles as a girl in Skyros and how they had to choose to make him a hot girl or an ugly girl. Personally I enjoy the hot girl interpretations better.
This one, where he's serving, is a personal fave. But passing for a girl at 15 is a lot easier than passing at 25. And I've known a few very pretty boys who grew into "masculine" looking men, so I don't know that you can really predict.
I've debated what Homer would mean while calling Achilles' the hottest dude in the army. Does he mean the masculine ideal? Is Achilles sort of a perfect average of all idealized traits? Or is he pretty in the way Helen is pretty? The latter seems less likely given the misogyny of the culture as well as Ajax being called the second hottest Achaean in the Odyssey, and at like seven feet tall and built like a tank, I don't know that anyone is depicting him as having feminine features. Another example I think of is Heracles. Based on the sheer number of lovers Heracles had, he was also considered hot as shit by both men and women, and again he's not ever depicted as particularly feminine.
Achilles is a bit different because he represents "youth" in the epic cycle. It's the reason he's rarely depicted with a beard even when he's an adult in a culture that values beards a lot. In that spirit, I tend to try to blend the "masculine" and "feminine" in my mind, a boy whose features could have been girlish who grows up into a beautiful man. So much of what we consider "feminine" in a man is more about styling/affect/the way he moves and carries himself than actual bare bones facial structure, anyway.
As for what I personally envision while writing, it does change depending on AU to an extent, but there are a few constants. Patroclus can and will grow a beard (depending on his age). Achilles cannot and won't. Patroclus has big, brown cow-eyes (in the Homeric sense). I liked Miller giving Achilles green eyes, so I stick with that. I like Pat having a bump in his nose. I give them both long hair, though Pat's is more subject to change. Pat has darker skin than Achilles.
