I wasn't exactly planning on posting this for pride but the opportunity has presented itself so here

Again, this was inspired by @glarello here on Tumblr and theyre pretty cool, go check them out

I've honestly had this Finnished for a while but ive been posting older art just to get it out there.

The vision so far is, I saw it circulating around two and decided itd be nice to draw.

Btw this is primarily inspired by @glarello post, theyre here on Tumblr too-

Something i wanted to elaborate was the green dripping from Will's mouth is his plague powers manifesting. I think this would be the incident that awakened them. Like how percy attacked misery, nico found out bianca was dead

All demigods seem to have something that unlocks a power, and I think it would be cool if Will's was Lee's death

I know it actually happens in tsats, but I think that it could be the first time he's done it since Lee, so that the moment doesn't lose its significance. (Although i do understand that whole scene was tartarus bringing out the worst, but I feel like it would still work since hes accepting a part of himself he pushed down)

While Will doesn't learn something new, he uses a power he's suppressed in order to save nico, embracing a piece of the past for him

also relevant hc!

a little quirk Will picked up from Michael was checking people's pulse when he was worried,

sometimes its nice to know someone you care about is still breathing, and other times you're trying to cling on to the hope that their heart will beat again

And yes, even though micheal is typically known for his archery skills, he's constantly referred to as the main healer in chb before Manhattan. Will mentioned he helped micheal with nico's check up and was being trained as a field medic. So I wanted to add him having a medic badge like will, while Lee doesnt

During the Titan War, i thought it would be coold if the campers had arm bands personally tailored for the campers and their cabin, courtesy of the Athena cabin.

They were color coded with the cabin number and name so that they could be recognized in battle

Medics were given special badges so that were easier to pick out when there were injured demigods nearby (which became a problem after kronos' armv used them to target medics and certain cabins, Although its hard to identify a body if the entire arm is missing)

Each camper marked up a design, and Will had Lee write his since his handwriting has always been trash

Lee was just getting into calligraphy, so he agreea

In fact some bands were reused for the battle with the Romans and Will having his resized since he didn't want to get rid of Lee's work

He feels guilty that he was never able to help his brother. If he worked harder he could've brought home a sibling instead of a dirty armband.

I decided on adding two variants, of book designs and my personal designs for Thalia and jason. (Drew these before the season 2 Thalia casting, ive updated them accordingly, Tamara thalia will have to be ripped from my cold dead hands)

I drew the book designs first, and then I realized I could do whatever I wanted soo... suck it die hard book truthers

Go pick up a pencil and draw it yourself

He spent half of tlh in his army jacket only for it to go the way of pipers snowboarding jacket

I unironically love leo, and im here to start getting my poor boy out of his suspenders.

Next, we get rid of Calypso

Did you guys know they dye kerosene to make it easier to identify or smth, its pretty neat

I scramble for the few bits of mexican rep out there, even if its a bit stereotypical at times 😭

The animatic was based on Samuel butler's translation of the iliad and I went over (i believe) book one and two with a little bit of foreshadowing to the later ones

Evervone's color pallet consists of black, reds, orange, yellows, whites, and blues since i wanted to stick to a strict theme that was reminiscent of Greek pottery, although im not sure if it translated well-

It was kinda hard making different characters stand out because of this but I might fix it some other time

(Btw this was made in like 4 days because of deadlines, so quality suffered and dont look too hard at some of the quotes

He tried to cut it with a dagger but messed up and ended up sneaking into a salon owned by a lady and her grand daughter

Bianca used to cut his hair and he didnt like getting it cut by other people who weren't her but they managed to compromise

I drew the solangelo scene from BOO a while ago, I fear they are too peak.

Also this was the first time i ever drew octavian so dont mind him too much.

Has anyone ever mentioned that octavian doesn't have a canon last name? I know Augustus is thrown in there fandom wise but does he have one?

Naomi the woman you are

Tiny headcanon thar will and his mom have a beauty mark on the corner of their upper lips.

I'm also a truther for nahomi having bleached/dyed hair which will make sence in the next mini comic-

It makes me so sad that parents of pjo are rarely ever mentioned, and I think that's a missed opportunity. I would have loved to see their sides of being a demigod parent.

Seeing Sally's story more in the show is so interesting I wish we had more-

I like to draw demigod eves with double/overlapping iris.

this doesn't nothing to affect the actual timeline, i just think itd be a neat thing to have with an in world benefit.

They help with seeing through the mist, demigods with a thicker second layer are more clear sighted and those with thin almost nonexistent second iris are demigods who's mythological ties are already loose to begin with.(for example those demigods who aren't strong enough to be sniffed out and go their whole lives without knowing thevre demigods, like magnus)

id imagine protectors looking constantly at posible demigods eyes just to ensure theyr on the right track, although its not 100% since sometimes humans may also carry this (for example, Rachel and Sally who are also clear sighted) its a good place to start since those who have this trait will be strongly connected to the mythological world in some way.

Was this all a long winded excuse to justify me drawing really pretty eyes and forgetting that two iris layers isnt normal but really liking the idea and running with it anyways?

maybe, but i dont care
