I really, really like the Kings of yore despite that we get almost nothing about them so of course I had to design them when they were alive, give them names, their numbers and backstories.
From oldest to youngest so far:
The 38th. First queen. She always wandered around in disguise during her rule and as a result, she has the greatest insight into her peoples' lives, since they didn't realize who she was.
But even in the Citadel, she was quite elusive due to how good she was at sneaking around. Sometimes she let servants catch a glimpse of her, causing a rumour about a ghost haunting the Citadel.
The 58th. Ardyn lite, except without the inky black stuff and immortality and bratty brother. His wife, Desdemona, was killed and he made it the rest of the world's problem.
(he and his entourage are named after characters from Shakespearean tragedies)
The 61st. He's only called the Fierce in Lucis, outside Lucis he's known as the Ogre due to his brutality and ruthlessness. He also was one of the sweetest Lucian kings in history, to his people at least!
(his Japanese title is really 鬼王, the Ogre king!)
He actually apologizes when you defeat him in RE! cute~
See, logically, I understand why Luna headed towards Regis first, but it's still hilarious to me that she just ran past her brother while he was literally on fire and writhing and screaming in pain
I hate to show up with drama, but I'm pretty pissed now. I discourage sending any hate to this art thief, but I needed to get this information out (and maybe some of you might wanna check out their art and see if your own art was stolen), because they have rejected my attempt at settling this privately.
Last year, I noticed my Hermes design being copied by @im-an-apollogist . I reached out to them privately and asked if it was inspired by my design.
Here's the link and then comparisons:

They said my design was not an inspiration, at least not consciously. And all I did was ask them to at least credit me.
(to make it clear, my design was posted on here on April 9th, 2024. Theirs was posted July 10th, 2024)
Our conversation ended there, but the truth is, I had used the eyedropper tool on the parts I found too similar to my own design, and I found that the colours were identical, which I brought up to them. They didn't respond. This made me suspect that the similarities wasn't as "unconsciously" copied as the artist has claimed (along with the rest of the elements of the outfit). But, I thought that since I've contacted them about it, they'd be spooked enough to not do it again with any art by any artist. We all done dumb stuff in life, so I thought this might be the last of it.
I was dumb, optimistic and wrong. Almost exactly one year later, just yesterday, their art ended up in my feed again. And boyyyyy, this time, it was even more egregious.
💬 2 🔁 11 ❤️ 97 · Aristaeus and his family have been taking over my head lately😔
Her design of Autonoë (posted August 1st, 2025) is not only identical down to the colours being used, but is basically just my art but traced. This isn't just "we picked the same colours". Just like before, they basically used the eyedropper tool on my art for the colours. But the head itself? It was just traced.
Once again, I reached out to them. 12 hours ago, according to my timestamp. This time, I was more confrontational because this cannot be "unconsciouly inspired" by my stuff. I don't even think the 1st one was "unconsciously inspired", after picking out the exact colours with the eyedropper tool.
They didn't respond. And I told them explicitly, I wanted to solve this privately and quietly. They have seemingly been ignoring my messages. So I'm forced to post this here, because I'm not letting it slide this time.
The fact that they have done this twice (blatantly and shamelessly. Didn't even bother to try choose different colours but just used eyedropper tool on my stuff and then just tracing my art) pisses me off, but what pushed me over the edge and made me post this is because they didn't even have the guts to respond to me, even after I told them I wanted to solve this issue privately. Not even an apology, not even deleting the work they've stolen from me. So here we are.
I haven't looked into the artist's other art, and so I can't say if they've traced and stolen other artists' work, so if you are an artist drawing and designing Greek mythology figures, maybe you need to go search and see if they've stolen your work. Because that is what it is, at this stage. It wasn't "unconsciously inspired by", it was just a direct theft, not bothering with even changing colours (or picking them out themself on the colour wheel) and blatantly tracing.
Hi! I was wondering if you could do ares or Aphrodite either in your style (meaning your design) or Hades (game) I don’t care either which but I love your style and would love to see more!
Hi!! Sorry for my late reply, I've been busy for some weeks!
Unfortunately, I struggle to draw and design Ares because I can't draw or design armour (it's why Athena, who also is supposed to have armour, doesn't have any right now). I would love to try draw Aphrodite sometime (I'm still pretty busy, sorry)
Thank you so much! I am so honoured to hear such praise! I hope I won't disappoint you!
