Greek Mythology Art and the Fae Project

[Thranduil_of_Greenwood]

Okay so I've been working on alot of stuff lately. Two big RP projects. First Greek mythology. A group of friends of mine and I started a Greek Mythology RP, we all took a not so well non persona. I took on Notos the South Wind, the creator of the RP played Thanatos (Death, most people think that Hades, it's not he's the lord of the Underworld not death.), Hypnos ( Sleep, Death's twin), and sometimes Euros (The East wind). Another friend played Phrike (horror), and sometimes Boreas ( the North wind). And finally the last friend played Zephyros (the West wind, the one you might have heard of. I drew some art of them.
The Akherontis, the twins Death and Sleep. Death is the light colored one, Sleep the Dark.


Notos


The four winds (Red is Notos, Yellow is Zephyros, Greenish one is Euros, Blue is Boreas)



And the Fae project. Only have two and a half for those now.

Kishlee the Pooka. This one is my friend's character. His pooka playing a flute he stole.


Lhachlhass the Sidhe (elfish character) My character


And a start of a picture Korlian (another Sidhe) with Kishlee


Hope you like them.

i am theologically and anthropologically interested in greek myth.

Those drawings are great!

The only negative thing that I can say is that the eye placement on the second drawing seems a little off, but it's only in that one.

On a side note, I love your avi.

Thranduil is an avi perfectionist.

it seems to me that he could win many avi contests, but does not, because he is never satisfied that his latest effort is not perfect.

Thank you Feline Anachronism, and yes, it does seem a bit off. Good to know for the next time.

And beaulolais, thank you, I don't think I'm quite as good as you think. But maybe I should try some time.

And I have new art for Greek Mythology and Project Fae. I hope I've improved a bit.

Lets start with GM (ha ha game master, but no) again.
I drew the four winds again. I hope a little better then the last. Note for the way they were drawn, the winds are both seasonal and direction based. On the top is Bores the North Wind (winter), on the right is Euros the East Wind (fall), on the bottom is Notos the South Wind (summer), and on the left is Zeyphyros the West Wind (spring).


And finally a chibi picture of Thanatos and Hypnos done for a friend when he was having a bad day.


And the Fae, there are a lot more of these.
To start off, here is the finished version of the half finished Fae group up there, now with Lhachlhass.


Another version of Lhachlhass, more realistic this time around. I drew it in Art History I on notebook paper (epic fail) so there are still some lines in it, but I'm working on that.


Colored version of Lhachlhass originally posted.


And finally, once again Lhachlhass. Colored and drawn by me, touched up (heavily) by another artist.

the four winds are not only good looking in themselves, but the ensemble is assembled so cleverly, with the arrows pointing to the wind's four quarters!

it's finely mythological.

I like them all. I wish I had talent like that. =) Mucho props!

You know, I really don't think so.

So much awesome imagery of Deus Ex Machina. cool
Now i finally realized the meaning of Akherontis(which is the name of the twins death and sleep*Thanatos and Hypnos*)

Now Hypnos might go ahead and knock me out with a spell, after realizing this, right?  

[Tagori]

Hey, awesome job on the drawings!
Love the detailing on your fae characters, and the attention to composition in your four winds (with the arrows) drawing.
Akherontis is so good I thought it was a poster or something until I realized it was done in watercolour... (watercolour, right?)
Anyway, awesome awesome job!

May i request artwork of the round table, please?
