A star is born 🌟

I just had to redesign Hera’s fertility goddess form. In all ways possible, I wanted her to be opposite of Kronos, hence the total makeover.

I based her color palette off of a neutron star! Neutron stars are technically dead stars and she was “dead” there for a minute so I figured that would go hand in hand.

Hope you like my redesign (click for better resolution) ✨

On the subject of that one purple baby. Busted out another lowkey snarky sketch while doing sketches for upcoming pride month.

This video discusses the issues Lore Olympus has (41:21 - 1:46:03 ). I encourage you to watch it even if you like the comic. I am not shaming anyone who likes the comic! If you still enjoy the story this may help you see it with a more critical eye.

You can also disagree with the points made in the video! Just please dont start a war in the comments and be civil!

Issues discussed in the video:

power balance and grooming

fetishization of darker themes

comparison of Apollo and Hades and how this serves the plot

how can fiction affect the real world and young readers

statements of the creator

perhaps the "born sexy yesterday" trope and the oversexualization of the younger character in the comic

Some notes

Overall I wanted to put our leading ladies into mortal realm wear because why… would they be wearing modern clothes… thousands of years before they’re in fashion in the mortal realm

Métis I wanted to keep in blue since they’re opposite on the color wheel. I just made it a darker blue and since one of her symbols is an owl, I added the circles to be the eyes.

Truly they more look like the evil eye but oh well, it still looks cool

Rhea hurt me. She and Persephone are so damn similar in color and style I wanted to do a hard left. Gave her the iconic circle crown back, made her thicker, and made her hair more closely resemble a lion’s mane

I also did more of a dark teal as opposed to the more true mint I put Persephone in. Both still have pink but persephone’s is definitely baby pink vs Rhea who leans more towards white/gray

I think Rhea’s outfit is the least “ancient Greek” which does make me cringe a bit internally but I tried to mimic how the fabric would fold and crease… Greek citizens please have mercy 🙇🏼‍♀️

Oh also Rhea has what are supposed to be moss agate on the hem of her dress. Moss agate is *supposedly* what her representative gemstone is but Google is Google so grains of salt

Hera looks great in green. I really leaned into the peacock motif and gave her that spiky crown thing she normally wears (even though it’s not accurate)

It was so damn hard to hide all those ribbons

I think my edit of Hera is a little gaudy… but when in Rome I suppose

Hope you enjoy and see you next week for the finale of Lore Olympus

“Are you ready to rage?”

*proceeds to not rage*

Rachel once again back with emotionless characters. You’d think hearing that your only daughter was r@ped would cause a more… something reaction. Unfortunately Demeter just kinda looks bored.

Also idk why Ares is there. It should’ve been Artemis.

Friendly reminder to both the Lore Olympus Stans and the Antis:

Persephone’s hair growth has nothing to do with her stress

i.e., she can grow it out whenever she likes and it is not tied to her emotions. I think @genericpuff had a post that talked about this but after reading the comments under the most recent episode, I wanted to reiterate.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news 

[moony-2001]

The mortals must be so confused about what she’s wearing

Rachel absolutely ate with the background tho I was struggling with redoing the trees

Freud- I mean Rachel strikes again
