#charun

Painting of two Etruscan Underworld deities at the entrance of the Tomb of Anina (Anina being the name of the family which commissioned the tomb), near Tarquinia, dated to the middle of the 3rd century BC. On the left is Charun, holding a hammer, while the figure on the right, holding a torch, is Vanth.

some doodles for pride YAAAAAAAY

I'm pretty sure these two are commonly paired together. Don't really get it, but it's okay. Earthworm.

i couldnt figure out how i wanted to color them

The big man depicted above is technically not Eurynomos. Representing the sin of gluttony, Eurynomos is an obscure figure from ancient Greece said to eat the corpses of the dead. No depiction of him survives to this day. Pausanias describes a picture of him, saying he has red skin and is seated on a vulture’s skin, but that’s about it. I’ve chosen to use the image of Charun, from Etruscan mythology, as the basis for my drawing, replacing the original’s red skin with dark blue. He kind of reminds me of the oni which serve various roles in the Japanese Hell.
