Kinger as Atlas | Greek Mythology
“Condemned to hold up the heavens”
Reference picture:
I was inspired by this theory I saw on TikTok (I can’t find the original I thought I saved it ahh PLS I need to find itttt)
The TikTok basically compared the Greek mythology, Atlas, to Kinger. Atlas was one of the Titans to fight against the Olympians in the Titan-Olympian War. After the Olympians won, Zeus punished Atlas to carry the celestial sphere on his shoulders for eternity.
The theory goes that Caine may be punishing Kinger to eternity by keeping him trapped in the digital circus. As a result Kinger is slowly losing his senses and memory with knowledge of the digital world that Caine may be forcing Kinger to forget.
I see Kinger as the one holding together the circus members, he acts like an anchor for the others. Which makes sense since he’s been there the longest and I definitely believe he has some involvement behind the creation of the digital circus.
Anyways, YES ik there are inaccuracies/disproportional areas of Kinger’s body. His left arm is smaller than his right arm but forget I said that. And his legs are wonky too D; I could go on and on but I had fun drawing and shading the muscle, that was a first!
