Some nerd: "Fictionalizations of Greek mythology are so inaccurate like what's the point of Hades if it's gonna be so unfaithful to these figures"

Supergiant games:

Some nerd: Holy fuck

I love everything about Hades2 but where the hells is Ares??

There is an all out war across the Greek pantheon and the horny for murder and war god himself hasn't shown his face yet??

I really hope SuperGiant keeps him as a launch day surprise because otherwise I'd be so sad 😞

Until then:

Have my version of Ares for Hades2, rocking the Twin Fists -Gilgamesh version (because they maim on hit n i thought he'd like that 😏 ).

Popping in to say I got a BlueSky account -

Come follow me there if you like :3

I just drew some new Hades2 art!

[sketchyarkhive]

Drawing “Hades” gods is becoming a self indulgent feel good project. Imma make myself the charms I want but I know Supergiant would never make themselves~

2nd in line is Mother Nyx; she has, imo, the most beautiful character design in the whole game and her VO is equally stunning (I love that accent; no clue where it’s from but it’s really nice). Obviously I had to place these two in a drop of Darkness :)

Bolero

As the title suggest, I was inspired my the infamous Bolero. I got myself the Digimon Adventure Last Evolution Kizuna OST and the nostalgia feels are biiiiig (do yourself a favour n click the link if you don’t know this track). The Bolero is smth I loved since I was a child and always associated with long walks/marches through nature. Especially savannahs, gras lands and deserts.

Sooo, there you go: Crusader Times Nicky and Joe, shortly after they got together and now walking through the middle eastern heat and sands~ Things aren’t completely smooth yet; Nicky definitely still carries doubt n guilt n wonders about their immortality n purpose. whereas, imho, Yusuf sees how Nicky struggles to come to terms with what he’d done and had been raised to believe and do and is patient and kind and instead looks forward into the future for them both.

I also took the liberty to FINALLY give Nicky a beard :’D  this is for you, Pro-Pornstache people on discord! We’re getting there, slowly lol

Also, because people insisted- I put this piece up in my new shop :)

Evening Bump

And a little reminder that I am participating in Etsy’s Labout Day Sale~ ;)

Only 3 more days!

[sketchyarkhive]

I fell into the Hades limbo and I regret nothing!!

What a fantastic and fun game- Def my favourite rougelike up to date. The story keeps me as much going as the fighting mechanics themselves~

And then the muses struck me and I started to sketch up Zag+various of my fav chars in Hades. To start off my next mad dash to draw as many cutie pie’s as I can are Zagreus+Dionysos in an ingame Nector Bottle cause...it fits? :’D

I love Dio; the character and the boons he gives me. (IceWine is the freaking best Duo Boon I got so far. So op, it’s wonderful!) May they party soon together on the Olympus~

(ps. I am the only one who thinks this would be the cutest charm? :’D)

[sketchyarkhive]

And I'll take your hand and guide you through All the steps one takes to move on to A place, a world unseen to us all But it's okay; we'll be together

The celebration poll awhile back settled onto more Crusader time Joe/Nicky sooooo here you go, fam! I tested some new comic brushes specifically for this, decided I didn’t like how they felt and went back to my same old brushes :’D  Oh well~...

The scene is heavily inspired by the song “What will you leave behind” from the Spiritfarer OST (link is as usual in the lyrics); It is also a sort of prequel to another Joe/Nicky piece I have in the pipelines. I think Nicky is smn who struggled for a long time with his believe system, what it made him do, how wrong he was and how many he hurt with this misguidance. But how could he possibly deny that there is some greater power at work given what he has become? What Joe is too? And how it led them together?

At the same time I think Joe has an easier time forgiving Nicky, especially because he sees how much he regrets and tries to atone, and offers him a guiding hand to help forgive himself as well.

Anyway- Thanks for 4k+ followers!! :DDDDD

So, I couldn't bring myself to actually stick the stickers anywhere because there is no place worthy of them so instead I decided to frame them....and it actually looks really good, I'm happy!!

They are made by @sketchyarkhive btw and they are really cute! As you can see! So thank you for creating these cuties!!!

[sketchyarkhive]

not gonna lie- this is such a cool idea????????? OAO

where did you even find such small frames???!! damn!! I am weirdly impressed n I love it :’D 

[sketchyarkhive]

Windmill, windmill for the land- Turn forever hand in hand - Take it all in on your stride- It is ticking, falling down - Love forever, love has freely - Turned forever you and me - Windmill, windmill for the land Is everybody in? 

Another 2fer! Took me awhile to really bring it into the style I wanted; it is inspired by the conept of the Gorillaz “Demon Days” album cover. It’s been so iconic from the moment it launched n I just love it and felt it would suit the immortal gang~ Evidentally I also couldn’t help myself yet again and made 2 versions; one of the current team (with Nile) and one of the past team (with Quynh, even though she got seperated before she met the others in person). I just thought it’d be neat to have them in their past clothes n current styles :’)

(n I was told to keep long haired-man bun Nicky n not pull up his hood for this piece soooo, there you go. you’re welcome, again? X’‘‘DDD)

You can find both versions in my newly moved Shop! :)

[sketchyarkhive]

Just hoping I will be able to finish it :’‘‘D

I am moving Shop- literally!

I’ve been trying to solve this issue for the past 2 weeks (hence the lack of content) but so far NOTHING is happening and neither Etsy nor Paypal are helping me with my requests and issues. Paypal is particulary horrid and has, hands down, the worst costumer service that I experienced since my legendary fight with Virgin back in 2014.

Anyway, due to Brexit nearing I have to open a new Etsy shop. I was hoping Etsy could help me move my current shop from an UK IP to a German IP so I won’t loose all my kind reviews, favs and sales etc ALAS this still doesn’t seem to be possible (n I waited several years for them to make this somehow possible. It’s really frustrating)

So I decided with a heavy heart to open a brand new Shop under a German Etsy IP; it would mean the world to me if you could spread the word, and put the new shop back into your fav list! 

The prints and sticker are the same (with cool new stuff ready in the pipelines! ); prices are also the same; it’s literally just because it is apparently an impossible task to move countries and take your shop along with you.

@graveformydarling commissioned me to create Sticker for the (art)content starved SaintZee fandom aaaaand here they are :D

I don’t know too much about them, so I leave the hype part to Mel :’)  I do love however that their animals are a koala and a bunny. That’s super cute!

You can get those cutie pies in my freshly moved shop ~ <3
