Some monster sibling bonding art featuring @pink-noah Scylla & my Sphinx of Thebes. A couple of cutie pie sisters who grew up into gorgeous & terrifying man eaters.

I wonder if you have a Scylla design ?

I had one in mind and here you go. The concept I had was roughly colored. A bit of context: For the design, I based it on the myth where she is the daughter of Typhon.

Also,,, her dad is proud of her,,,(?

Is Perseus killing Medusa in her sleep unheroic? By modern standards, yes. But in Ancient Greece, a hero using his cunning even if it’s playing dirty is indeed heroic.

Glaucus after being turned into a sea monster must now adjust to his new life as he does the former fisherman is completely inept at hunting until one day at the beach Glaucus finds the rotting corpse of a fellow cetus (sea monster) despite it being unseemly food for a man in this harsh conditions a scavenger doesn't look at gift horse in the mouth as he crawls onto land and flops over to enjoy his rotting meal he hears another sound as a larger mass join him upon the shore, Glaucus' eyes widen in terror as he realizes this is the famed Scylla of legend it seems though that she has left her rock to scavenge, Scylla takes notice of him as angrily huffs baring her teeth and snapping her heads at him. A smaller sea creature getting this close to an angry, larger drakina is a death sentence and clearly she isn't willing to share her feast with another potential prey item. Glaucus gets the message and backs off hiding behind a nearby rock his former human consciousness and now primordial sea creature brain seem at odds with each other as his flight or fight response kicks in. But cautiously Glaucus notices Scylla ravenously tearing into her meal with her heads. Glaucus though is surprised to see a great monster like Scylla scavenging for leftovers, though one could guess a great creature can't live on sailors alone eventually though Scylla stops eating and gets tired lazily flopping across the beach as she slowly crawls back into the ocean chunks of cetus meat falling from her maws as she departs back to her lair to sleep. Glaucus is utterly terrified and also utterly amazed, he met the legendary Scylla and lived to tell the tale! Until he realizes that if he wasn't simply a sea monster scavenging for food but a man things might have been different. As Glaucus clumsily flops over to enjoy the rest of his discarded meal he looks down in disappointment realizing Scylla has eaten it all but alas one must not look a gift horse in the mouth as Glaucus eats the few rotting remains that cling to the corpse. Then Glaucus looks over and notices the direction Scylla is heading... a scavenger must not look a gift horse in the mouth... and Glaucus won't loose this chance as he follows in the same direction as Scylla.

Finally finished picture of my Echidna & @pink-noah Typhon's kids dogpiling on their dad. It varies from myth to myth how many kids Typhon & Echida have together, which monsters are included. Here I've depicted 8 of their possible kids, baby Scylla, & Cerberus are based on @pink-noah desgines. There's also baby Chimira, Lernaean Hydra, Sphinx of Thebes, Nemian Lion, Ladon, & Orthus.

Some Greek mythology art of the Drakainas Python & Delphyne. Sometimes Python & Delphyne are depicted as the same figure, but that always confused me since if the serpent Apollo killed at Delphi how could she also be allied with Typhon when he tried to over throw Zeus?🤔 Then I noticed whenever dragons or monster serpents show up in Greek mythology it's usually in pairs. So I decided to depict them as a mated pair, that helped raised baby Typhon for Gaia. Also it's kind of cute to me that Typhon's clossest allies besides his wife, Echidna, was his dragon/serpent nanny.

Most peoples interpretations of the gorgons: Beautiful aesthetically pleasing female monstes with snake hair and Disney villains with a catty sense of humor...

My version of the gorgons: Fat lazy sea monsters who eat, sleep and fart all day...

Found this pic on Twitter and lowkey it reminds me of how Retelling Writers/Popculture handles Medusa (Beautify her to make her more marketable to the masses)

This art is creepy af omg

The wings being ripped off especially applies to Medusa, I mean even beautiful depictions of her in antiquity kept her wings.

If Hera impregnated Zeus it would fix their marriage I think.

bring back tumblr ask culture let me. bother you with questions and statements

[boimann]

reblog to let people know it's ok to bother you with questions and statements

[thehopelessopus]

Friendly reminder that if you ask about my OCs, you are actually doing me a huge favor.

You are:

Letting me know that my character/fic is important to you, which is so very important to me.

Making me think deeper about my character and therefore expanding his/her personality or backstory.

Making me think about my character which helps me to overcome writer’s block.

Encouraging me in my writing (which, let’s be honest, it’s a battle)

Letting me know that I am seen and that I’m not doing this for nothing.

So thank you, and don’t ever feel like you are wasting my time by asking me anything about anything.

This has been a PSA.

i only did the ones im familiar with, i know he has other mortal kids and stuff (the tons of nymphs he fathered jesus) but shh im too tired for that

For my OG Medusa lovers out there I present to you Medusa from the temple of Artemis in Kerkyra/Corfu one of the oldest known archaic temples!

Not gonna lie guys I felt my heart skipping a beat standing under this masterpiece that I have only seen in books! And this thing is HUGE!

Like you can see people for scale:

A gift of the tyrant family of Cypselids around the years 590-570 BC but constantly reconstructed and sustained for many years this masterpiece is a doric pseudo-dipteral temple. This masterpiece is depicting Gorgon Medusa and her two children, the winged horse Pegasus and Chrysaor that here is depicted as a young man. And the details man! The details!

I mean look at the details of her winged feet!

Medusa is depicted at her usual archaic way of 3/4 perspective with her head facing the viewer as an apotropaic mask and her body is depicted with the characteristic skip that is being used to indicate fast pace or flight. She is surrounded by lions and male forms.

I could sleep there guys! I think this apotropaic symbol would protect me! When I visited that museum to visit her was like a life experience! I was so privileged to have seen it and also to my leisure without many people around! I felt like paying my tribute to Artemis after Hera, Apollo, Poseidon and Asclepius back then in Mon Repos:
