So, as I promised, let’s take a quick look at the creative process behind my personal interpretation of Poseidon from the world of Percy Jackson ✨🔱
(Mhh it’s too long as a name, I have no idea if it could be interesting but I would like to publish others soon, if so let me know in the comments!✨)
So, Poseidon, our favorite Hawaiian dressed god. After a bit of digging around the internet in fanarts and fandom, I noticed that people really like to show him looking like a fairly young man, and I have to say, guys, I too would have LOVED to see Logan Lerman as our friendly Sea God in the TV Show but honestly, while he may have all the charm needed, I don’t think he 100% matches my idea of Poseidon based on how he is described to us by Uncle Rick.
It’s true he is an extremely charming and handsome man, as Sally points out to us several times in the books, BUT personally I have always given more importance to his role as a loving but cryptic father, mysterious as the sea, and I have tried to push that direction.🧐
So I started with a powerful, but not exaggerated, physique, I wanted to recreate that type of solemn and divine presence that I believe Tobey Stephens brought to perfection in the TV series.
Once I had built this type of physique, I tried to give him characteristics that referred to the sea, to his movement with thick and wavy hair and beard, and to his enigmatic expressiveness, on which I wanted to focus particularly. For me it was important to try to capture the fickleness of the sea, and therefore of a god capable of going from happiness to anger in a second, remaining mostly in a mysterious gray area in between.🌊
Did you like this little insight? Let me know what you think in the comments and how you imagine Poseidon instead, I’m too curious! 😊

So, as I said recently I want to do some tests trying different things, so here’s a little comic from the chapter ‘I settle my tab’ from Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief ⚡️
(let me know if you like the idea so in case I’ll start preparing more ✨)
Percy is simply iconic in every one of his lines and I wanted to try to play with a Percy who was still at the beginning of his journey.
Furthermore, I admit that I LOVE playing with the character design of the characters following their descriptions in the books, and Poseidon is no exception! Trying to represent the aspects that Rick Riordan highlights, such as his mysterious and indecipherable side or his fisherman-in-Hawaiian-dress look, is just too much fun. :D
I’m considering whether to also post some of my sketchbook pages, because I want to share with you part of the creative process behind the way I represent the characters, which I personally find the most fun and creative part behind every illustration or drawing I work on.
Let me know if you like the idea! ✨✨✨

Little illustration for Clarisse ✨🗡️
So, I admit that I have never been such a big fan of cabin 5 but still I think that Clarisse is a nice character and that she deserved an illustration ✨
I hope you like my take on the character, let me know what you think in the comments! :3

Small illustration of Leo and his best friend-dragon Festus!🔧🔥🐉
Leo has always been one of my favorite characters from the world of Percy Jackson (if not my absolute favorite), so I really wanted to show you my take on the character ✨
I hope you like it, I love Leo and Festus so much, so they will definitely come back in future drawings :D

a quick and very random Sokka ✨
So, in the past few days, while I was doing some digital drawing/color tests, I came up with this Sokka so here it is ✨
It's really fun to draw the characters of ATLA, with great regret I admit that I've never done it before even though I love the original animated series so much 🤧
Who's your favorite character? I'm team Toph ✌🏻🪨

Hi there ✨ small random colored sketch of Mr D
I admit that these days I'm having fun trying to draw the various characters from the first PJO book, I'd like to find a way to characterize them in my own way so probably in the near future you'll see me a bit more with simpler or more experimental things
Hope u like it ✨

-11 to the PJO series ahhh
While I reread the first book to refresh myself on all the events, here is my take on Annabeth by Leah Sava Jeffries✨
I admit that I'm very curious to see her version of her character, I have to say that I really believe in this new golden trio :D

Aaaaaah guys 12 days and we’ll see the Percy Jackson series on Disney plus! Too excited ✨
I can’t wait to see how they will make the story and the characters, but from the trailers even just Camp Half-Blood looks exactly like I imagined reading the books :D
I have to say that Walker Scobell looks great as Percy, I can’t wait to see more of him ✨

Bob and Small Bob ✨
I have to say that I find Bob to be quite an underrated character, he’s actually a great one! I think that his role after The Sun and The Star is even more particular, after all in the last books of the Riordanverse we have no longer heard of the titans and it’s nice to see how Bob perfectly embodies the concept of change that the book proposes to us

All Nico and Will's scenes with Gorgyra before entering Tartarus are so tender 😭
So I had to try to play one of those scenes in my own way✨
