When you’ve finished with ur Troytober art, could u pls show us r Achilles in ur artstyle? O pressure! I love ur art so much, it feels like sitting near a fireplace and drinking hot cocoa <3

So glad to see you like my art...!actually I have made some achilles art as a Iliad lover:

in 2022, ach, pat and Hector were the first characters get designed:

And in 2025, there is achilles sketch, after 3 years his design became more like a god(an ocean god):

I LOVE POLYDAMAS AHHHHHHHH YOUR ART OF HIM <3

ahhhhhhhh soooooo sweet!!! polydamas is underestimated in Iliad...so sorry to find he just had a little lines, but he's still a character who are charming and intelligent as Hector's counsellor, who can read the bird signs(but Hector don't like them) (whaaaaaaaat)

attached one of my favorite sketch about hime:

I looove your Polydamas and Hector design, like they are giving "not blood related but we twins" vibes 🫶🏼

yeeeeeep...! in Iliad they're described as 'the only man who saw what lay in the past and what the Trojans faced. He was Hector's close comrade, born on the same night, but excelled at trading words as he at trading spear-thrusts.' like twins born at the same night... an essay(in Chinese,well) also analyzed their relationship between them, U can use translate tool to read it(in comment!)

I have made some arts about them, one is a story about them in Macbeth paro:

and something my friend and I made(changing art style? IDK how to describe but we're happy)

always glad to see our same-night-born twins!

I love all of the characters’ from the Iliad in ur design. But I love Briseis’s the most lol. Her clothing is so unique, is there some symbolism when u drew it? Or is it only for the aesthetic?

Thank you for your like it...! of course I like draw it aesthetic:) U can notice that she is almost naked (as a slave) and a golden Herakles Knot on her thigh means conquered and a power she had💕

I'm always glad to know U are curious about the details of my design!!thkkkkk

I’m surprised that Oenone, Paris’s previous wife/lover, isn’t one the list. Then again, most people don’t talk about her.

Btw, your art is so beautiful. I envy your talent ❤️

October has 30 days so......we still have day28/29/30 to Oenone (well remember she is a mountain nymph) thk for your like!😽
