My designs for the big three, along with their gifts (and Hades' bident xD). I opted for giving Zeus' thunderbolts a sort of... plasma ball design cause I have never been good at drawing the "cartoony" lightning bolt shape, and I figured this would most easily avoid making it accidentally resemble the Master Bolt from Percy Jackson. Design pages of other characters to come.

My first attempt at a speedpaint! This is just me practicing my lining on a drawing of my designs for Hades and Persephone for a webcomic I'm developing.

The brothers in an argument...

Poseidon: Yo momma's so dumb… Hades: Poseidon, we have the same momma, er, mother. Zeus: I'm pretty sure you're adopted, Hades. Hades: That doesn't even make sense. Poseidon: True, logically speaking you're the most likely one to have been adopted, Zeus. Zeus: Hey now! Hades: All in agreement that Zeus was adopted raise your hand. (Hades and Poseidon raise their hands.) Zeus: I will smite both of you… Poseidon: Oh-ho-ho! You wanna tussle with me, weather boy? You know the sea makes storms more volatile…! Hades: HONEY! Zeus is picking on me again! Persephone: WHAT??! Zeus: Okay! Okay! Fine! Geez. You two are no fun when you decide to play unfair…

Zeus: Are you going to do something about this?!

(Zeus turns and shows Hades the large bite mark over the ass area of his tunic. Hades looks up to find a scrap of matching fabric in one of Cerberus' mouths.)

Hades:

(Hades pats one of Cerberus' heads.)

Hades: Good dog.

Hades: I swear to Chaos, Hermes, if you play that song as you enter my realm ONE MORE TIME I'm sending you to Tartarus!

Hermes: You gotta catch me first, boss~

Hermes: Ooh! Why? :D

Hermes: So mortals invented this article of clothing they named after me. It's called a Hermes scarf.

Persephone: (giggles) I believe they pronounce it "air-mez"...

Hermes: Look. I invented communication. I get to decide how a word is pronounced. ... It's Hermes.

(Persephone snorts and giggles.)

Poseidon: Guys! Check out this pirate treasure I found!

Zeus: As king of the universe, I'm privy to a tithe from this...

Hades: And of course you're gonna have to pay taxes on this... These would come to me as the god of wealth, of course.

Poseidon: :/ You guys are sucking the fun out of this. What happened to when we were kids?

Hades: If you recall we spent those years in our father's digestive tract.

Zeus: We didn't have any sense of normalcy until our 20s and 30s...

Poseidon:

Hades:

Poseidon: You guys aren't getting my pirate treasure!

Hades profile

Profile description for my version of Hades for a webcomic I'm hoping to develop.

Hades has a predominantly sardonic personality who speaks very sarcastically with very little filter as to what’s on his mind, often not caring for restraining his own temper. Holds a lot of discontent towards his younger brothers, particularly towards Zeus with his hedonistic lifestyle and loose morals, though Poseidon’s pragmatism can often leave the two of them at odds as well. He possesses the most godly power amongst the three brothers, even before gaining the power over life and death, but he's frankly too tired to take advantage of it. For the most part he seems to only hold concern for Persephone, Macaria, Orthros and Cerberus, for whom he actually shows deep adoration and compassion for, Thanatos and Hypnos, who have worked for him since they were young so they’re quasi-adopted by him, and Hermes, Melinoe, and Zagreus, whom he seemed to raise more than Zeus ever did. The rest of the pantheon, both Olympian and Chthonic alike, could screw off for all he cares. Mortals, both dead and living, he’s pretty impartial to, but believes in acknowledging when a mortal shows themselves to be exceptional, and can often show kindness and generosity to them, despite their inherent fear of him. He is however quick to show his wrath if a mortal tries cheating death, or if they just died through a completely asinine method. 

Unlike the seas and Mount Olympus, which were far easier realms for his brothers to conquer, the Underworld was the native home many Primordials who were none too happy to see that after the tyranny of Kronos was toppled, one of his sons walked into their realm, declaring himself their “king”. However, one primordial, Nyx, saw the potential in Hades to be a sufficient ruler after watching him fight in the war against the Titanmachy, so she appealed to the others to give Hades a chance to rule the realm. Taking to Nyx’s appeal, Chaos wrote up a lengthy contract that Hades was to adhere to by the letter lest he be cast out permanently. Most of this contract is never going to be referred to directly, with exception to the clause that dictates the time he is allotted to leave the realm.

Hades, the undersigned, is permitted to enter the other realms, but will do so only on borrowed time. He will be permitted up to two weeks' time to wander the other realms as he sees fit, at the end of which he is required to return to the Underworld, and is unable to leave again for six weeks. If the undersigned does not return to the Underworld within the time limit, the realm will take it upon itself to return him immediately.

The long time he’s spent underground has left his skin extremely pale, which makes the scars all over his body left from when Kronos consumed him really stand out. His hair normally falls naturally around his face, but when he’s angered, it flares up and almost appears to be made of blue and white fire. When adapting his look from the old Grecian style to a more modern one, he adopts an Italian mafioso aesthetic, wearing a lot of suits and dress attire, gloves and black jewelry.

Body Type - 6’7”, averagely muscular Weapon - Bident Vices of choice - high-end cigars; bourbon cut with water Sexual preferences - power bottom, handcuffing, likes being pegged when drunk Theme songs - Enter Sandman by Metallica, Hell Is Living Without You by Alice Cooper, Love Again by Dua Lipa, God of the Dead by Darren Korb

New World, Old Friends

So I’ve been low activity because I have recently switched hyperfixations and am now completely obsessing over Greek Mythology, and have started developing my own story using the gods as characters, that I hope to one day make into a comic of some kind. For how, here’s the plot summary that I have written up..

A millennium ago, an unknown god incurred the wrath of Chaos, and as punishment, she placed the gods of Olympus in an enchanted hibernation. Now, a thousand years later in the 21st century, they’ve all begun awakening again, and while many of the gods and goddess find they are able to pretty much pick up where they left off, one god has been troubled since he awakened. Hades has been suffering headaches every day and nightmares every night, and he swears he's hearing voices as he wanders his realm. When he goes to check on Tartarus, his breath stops. The lack of maintenance over the past millennium has caused some extensive damage to the entrance that has begun to spread to the inside. At the same time, he finally hears what the voices he's been hearing were saying. It was Kronos, and he was trying to get Hades to release him. In a rage, Hades is able to put a temporary shield over the entrance which prevents Kronos from getting out physically at the time, however the titan is already in Hades’ mind and takes every opportunity to impede as he makes plans for more permanent repairs. 

Despite his every effort to not worry Persephone and keep quiet about his father, she is still able to notice the strain on Hades' mind. She wants to help him, but the timing is not great, for spring is about to begin and she must once again make her journey to the mortal realm to work with her mother. Knowing that she can't abandon her husband, but that she also can't ghost her mother, she takes some soil from the Underworld's entrance, and some flowers from the recent bloom, and uses them to create a child. She then travels to the mortal realm with the child and leaves him in the care of Demeter to help her with the seasons while she returns to the Underworld to be at Hades' side.
