Seems like @bigidiotenergytm 's Zeus caught up with Alexandros. Don't worry, he can take him. (But not in a fight 😏)

Amphinomus + Tele designs by @messymoonmad (gods drawing Amphin was fun he’s so baby girl 😭)

It only took me 20 (heh) years but I finished drawing my second EPIC oc

this is Nikolas, a suitor from Arcadia(?) that’s what we’re going with for now

Nikolas is the youngest son of the Arcadian king Hippothous, and he was sent for the queen’s hand but he doesn’t appear particularly interested in her (hmmm interesting)

(From what I could find in my meager research, the former king Agapenor fought in the Trojan War with Ody but he never returned to Arcadia and started a new kingdom elsewhere)

He’s a hunter, and while well-spoken and polite towards his hosts, he’s generally a fairly quiet, reserved sort.

(also he just doesn’t like most of the other suitors.)

Taking inspo from Messy, I decided to base him off of a specific animal, and that animal is a lynx (they’re also quiet, solitary hunters

….also they look neat don’t sue me

Fun design details ig but his eyeshape is inspired by a lynx (is he wearing eyeliner or are they just like that??? who knows? Not the artist, certainly), and his laurel leaves also stick up a bit like a lynx’s ear tufts

(and of course the freckles)

more info about my boy under the cut

- 21 years old

- 5’11” and a fairly beefy boy. He stays in good shape because (after getting permission of course) he still tries to hunt for most of his food instead of raiding his host’s food stores all the time.

- He usually avoids the other suitors when possible, but he has been known to make an appearance when it comes to anything archery related

- He’s primarily an archer, and has been practicing with the bow since he was a boy. So one could say he’s fairly knowledgeable

- the youngest prince of five, with three older brothers, one older sister. (His oldest brother is canon, a man named Aepytus. He eventually becomes king of Arcadia but he goes into a blessed sanctuary he’s not supposed to so he’s struck with blindness and soon dies. Gotta love Greek mythology!!!)

- He’s kind hearted, but also cautious and wary. Even back home, he was a quiet sort who spent much of his time hunting instead of socializing so his father finally got fed up with him and gave him an ultimatum. He could get married right then, to someone of the king’s choosing, or he could go to Ithaca to try for Penelope’s hand

- he (rather unenthusiastically) chose the latter. He’s a later arrival compared to some of the other suitors. He shows up about a year before Odysseus’ return

-He very quickly discovered that he was NOT a fan of most of the men there (with a few exceptions), especially ones like Antinous

- He also doesn’t much care for Eurymachus. He doesn’t trust him in the slightest, and sometimes wonders if he’s worse than Antinous

- He gets along with Amphinomus and even Agelaus on occasion, but out of the suitors he likes Leodes best. (He is not sure if the feeling is mutual but he’s trying his best)

- An Artemis devotee. He prays to her on the regular and sacrifices to her when he can. As a result, his hunts are pretty successful. He has also been known to pray to/sacrifice to Apollo as well, for archery related reasons

- That’s actually how he started talking to Leodes for the first time. He was looking for a quiet place to pray (bc the other suitors are loud and rowdy af) so he asked the diviner if he could hang around for a bit.

- He decided he enjoyed Leodes’ company after a few times so he resolved to make friends with him/gain his favor. To demonstrate this, he brings by stuff for his rituals when he can (starting with sacrifices)

-yes, he is, in fact, like a cat (Nikolas, probably: look!!! I hunted for you :)

- while he respects Penelope and thinks she’s a beautiful woman, he is not interested in her, and certainly not interested in becoming king of Ithaca. He has his eye on a different member of the Ithacan royal family

The suitors: let’s kill the prince!

Nikolas, probably: did you say kiss the prince??? oh man, I mean I’d love to-

- He keeps trying to have polite conversation with Telemachus to kinda feel things out but the going is slow bc Tele is both insanely wary (understandably) and also very oblivious

- He hopes to get there one day though. Whether he succeeds…well, that depends on the universe ;)

if you made it this far…uh, here, have a Leodes doodle from my notebook! (he and Amphin are my favorites) tho I am (unfortunately) also attached to Antin and Eurym for reasons…unknown (more of them eventually)

also prolly more Leodes bc I desperately wanna draw him and Niko interacting

My silly suitor Oc that drawn by @callaiadio

This is Ace (placeholder name)

[sparrowatheart]

Gonna post this version of this over here because I actually really like how this turned out. 😋 This particular Zeus design belongs to @bigidiotenergytm I was just borrowing him. Or maybe he was borrowing Alexandros. 🤔

Find more of Alexandros over on @greek-sunflower !

ANOTHER FAKE COLLAB AND PICTURE IDEA FROM @etherealmarblestatue

MY SUITOR OC X YOUR AMPHINOMUS

[yuyotrix]

I'm turning him into firewood for my carne asada

MEET ASTRON!! The only suitor who made it out alive.

He was (essentially) the only one who didn't treat Penelope like a prize and never agreed with the whole... you know what plan. He found it horribly disgusting.

Even before the scheming began, Astron already played the role of a secret informant for Telemachus. To give him heads up whenever the suitors seemed to be planning something against him or the crown.

If anybody's curious about him I'm free to answer anything in my requests!! 🤸‍♂️

I wanna animate a ship with Amphinomus so I’m stuck between Dogprince (this ship name sucks but it’s Antinous x Amphinomus) or Princebull(zyir x Amphinomus)
