Growing Sense Of Dread Queen

She/her I make art based on Greek Mythology—I’m currently working on a Lore Olympus rewrite and post about it sometimes

I'm getting a weird jobless-bum vibe from Ares. He looks like he doesn't have anything to do so he justs pesters Persephone for fun cause he's secretly lonely and kinda bored.

He is probably lonely but he definitely works very hard. Like Persephone, Ares spends a lot of time in the mortal realm, so they have that in common.   

But yeah, Maybe Persephone was nice to him once and he kinda “ barnacled” on to her.

He imprints on her like a duckling

@anon, imo describing a female character as easy is gross. Just don't. You're allowed your reservations but let the author have a chance to get the plot going, k?

The questions around this scene are a bit of a mind field for me so bear with.

I don’t think that there is anything disrespectful about him misunderstanding her social cues and wanting to make love to her in the kitchen. 

He should not have grabbed her. But he knows that. 

I don’t think there is anything wrong with Persephone finding Hades immensely sexually attractive. If she wanted him in that way, it would be fine. 

One of the major themes of this story is the damaging nature of purity culture.

“If she wanted him that way”

I’m taking this as confirmation Persephone does NOT want to fuck that old man

when two people have been together for so long and so much resentment has built up and they keep killing each other and killing each other and killing each other and killing each other and even if there's still love between them they can't help it they just can't stop killing each other and killing each other and killing each other and killing each other

They should've been endgame 💔

Sketchbook dump! I don’t have a favorite character but if I did it would be Minthe

[dreadqueenbee]

Nooo don’t piss off your ex boyfriend’s new girl and get turned into a plant you’re too sexy hahaha

Kore 🌺

Trying to do a line art-less style in traditional media is hard and I don’t like it

[dreadqueenbee]

I’m tryin colored pencils—thinking about how I’ll color and shade some of the characters. I always default to just “darker color” but I like playing with using blue for Minthe’s shading, or pink for Apollo’s

Much to consider

[dreadqueenbee]

Kore and Apollo sketch!!! They’re so happy I can’t wait for them to stop

I recently started reading LR and I really enjoyed it! I wanted to ask if there will be any more couples besides Hades and Persephone? If so, which ones and why did they become interesting to you? I also liked Hecate the most in your comic; she's simply the best character for me, even if she doesn't have much time in your comic. I wanted to know if you plan on pairing her with anyone? If so, who and why?

Thanks so much!!

Hades and Persephone are the driving couple of the story, as the plan when I made it was to re-focus the plot back to them as the focal point, especially as it pertains to the original myth that LO was based on.

That said, there are some other relationships we'll be exploring in the future, but I ain't saying who because I don't wanna spoil the fun 😘

As for Hecate, she's married to her work. But she does favor the company of a certain other mistress who she makes time to visit every now and then ~

I haven’t worked on the comic in like three weeks (rip) because I was busy with finals.

I really wanted to jump back into working on it now that I’m on break, but I’m trying to get back to the basics first. I haven’t kept up with a sketchbook in like two years, but I’m hoping this time I stick with it.
