When you get a chance, could you bless us with more Amos Kane? Istg there is no fanart of him and I find that so sad, he's so cool. Like look at the gay man 💕

Sure! Something about the way you phrased this manifested this very specific image and it was really funny to me so I just had to paint it lmao, I hope you like it <3

Also couldn't help myself and made a few pride ones :⁠^⁠) (more under the cut)

Happy pride :D

Copollo deserves to be toxic and unhealthy. "Like a dark romance mafia boss-?" worse actually. Commodus the type to bring Apollo constantly to the brink of death but never past because he can't lose Apollo again. Apollo the type to think he deserves it but he has people depending on him so he has to fight and continue to hurt Commodus over and over again.

The night in the bath haunts them both and neither can let the other forget it. The hands that once held you so gently grabbed your throat and squeezed. You can still feel them.

Just recently finished Trials of Apollo and I love the series so much. I’ve been struggling with inspiration recently but this has really helped. I loved how this turned out with Apollo and Lester. I am especially proud of the hyacinths they were a struggle to draw, especially the dead ones!

[albapetitcon]

Doodles again

[flightfoot]

THIS IS AWESOME AND WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!

I ESPECIALLY love the one with Apollo in chains, that was a really emotional and climatic part of the book! I’m guessing the scars are from his skin splitting during the flaying process? Oh, and the tears are a nice touch.

The Jason Grace badge, really well done! He’s really stoic and seems fine, and then you see the arrows sticking out of him and you remember.

The Lester doodle’s great too! I guess that’s book 1 Lester? Nice touch with the sun!

Ah yes, Percy. He’s just DONE.

That communist bit was great! I really like how you made one person in the crowd have actual details, and it’s Apollo. Also, Meg’s adorable!

Thanks for drawing this, I love seeing TOA art!

[brooklyn-house]

literally adore the way tkc treats their gods, especially when compared to the other rrverse series. yeah this is skrimbh hes a guy who lives in a downtown apartment that doubles as a storage den for the local library and makes biological weapons in his free time. he survives solely on krispy kreme donuts and caffeine pills. yeah he does have near-unlimited power but he kinda just. chills around. yeah no he's cool with us he helps us with our taxes. yeah no the other gods are all bastards and need to be imprisoned or otherwise gotten rid of i am SO sick of their bullshit. beehgt skipped in front of me in the mcdonadls drive thru yesterday and i yelled at her to get fucked. yeah she cursed me

Imagining some sort of scenario where Percy kinda comes to some sort of realization after another world-changing event what Dionysus’s punishment really is. And he’s just like. Oh.

“Then I realize something. I know what Dionysus’s true punishment is.

It’s not being stuck in a camp full of annoying teenagers to put up with. It’s being forced into a place where he will raise all these kids, learn to love them, and watch them die. Over. And over again.

Then it dawns on me,

He’s scared to lose me too.

It’s in this moment I realize just how cruel Zeus really is. This is the god’s perfect torment. It’s the easiest method of torture.

Take advantage of his all too human heart.

All the gods know it,

and none of them do anything about it.

I suddenly understand the seemingly baseless hatred Mr.D demonstrated towards Apollo and Hermes. The two who claimed to be his brothers, but stood idly by as their father hurt him—time and time again. “
