WIP Dionysus and Artemis & Apollo Concepts

I’m FINALLY making progress on my Dionysus portrait I originally sketched years ago.

[wishmemellon]

I think about this vase painting of Orestes and co. a lot more then I probably should.

Mostly because Apollo is right next to him wearing nothing but a few pieces of jewelry, one is a thigh band worn by women!

I’ve been trying to find any more information about them but so far I’ve only found a few artifacts with vague dates attached to them. . .

I'm not immune to Odysseus raising Astyanax/Scamandrius

A mix of me joking to my partner about "what ifs" regarding this alternative and tumblr telepathically knowing to send posts my way regarding the same subject matter lead to this being made.

Athena's goodbye coming sooner than anticipated as well lmao.

The reason why I chose Zeus is because I imagined it takes place during "The Horse and The Infant", with Zeus listing all the reasons Odysseus should NOT take the baby,as Odysseus straps the lil one to himself,nonchalantly.
