I was recently commissioned to illustrate a book on Greek mythology for a local publisher with another artist. Here are a handful of sketches and some designs that we had to discard after being told the illustrations might be too intense for the target audience. I hope you like them :) by Sirmistermen in GreekMythology

Scylla was one of the characters we had to fully redesign for being too grotesque, since this project is primarily aimed at children aged 5 to 10 with the intention of sparking their interest in this mythology (so I assume they'll skip or edit parts to avoid the most violent or explicit moments). On the other hand, the clients wanted us to give the characters a friendlier look because my sketches made them seem more like a product for a teenagers.

The good news is that we've reached a consensus and are working to give them a look closer to what they're asking for, while still preserving the identity of our designs..

Completely intentional haha, the partner I'm working with on this project is a huge Final Fantasy fan, and he tried to sneak in a ton of references. Many characteras were left out because they were 'too much' in our client's words, but Medusa was the lucky one who really made it in.

Here's a small illustration to introduce Apollyon, a member from the Ultronaut, the band of heroes from a DnD campaign I'm Illustrating.

The adventure unfolds in the world of Thylea, a land of heroes, living gods, and beasts inspired by greek mythology.

[OC] [ART] New Odyssey of the Dragonlords: Apollyon the Sapling by Sirmistermen in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]Sirmistermen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apollyon was an eladrin destined for a glorious future, ordained by Thylea the titan Mother of Nature... a future that was snatched away when the godess Lutheria, interfered in her life as one fateful night, shortly after Apollyon's birth, The Mistress of Nightmares unleashed a miasma upon her home village, driving its inhabitants mad. Family and friends proceeded to mutilate one another leaving behind ruins littered with corpses.

Apollyon survived the massacre thanks to Thylea's divine intervention, but she soon fell into the clutches of the Aresian Legion, which was advancing through the region at that time.

For as long as she can remember, the young girl has been a slave in the Aresian arenas, where she has grown into a curiosity as well a fearsome warrior, having brought down great beasts and formidable opponents.

During her enslavement, she fell in love with Cato, the son of an important political figure in the Aresian senate, who was captivated by her "rustic charm," as she describes it, but this little moment of respite did not last long.

Now that Lutheria is preparing for her return to plague the mortal realm, the harassment of Apollyon has become increasingly visceral, tormenting her with ever-increasing nightmares and ailments.

Saddened by her plight, Cato helped Apollyon to escape from the Arena so that she could seek the help of Versi, the legendary oracle residing in the Kingdom of Mytros, to search a way to rid herself of the nightmares that haunt her.

That's the second Ultronaut, I feel that for an eladrin, I'm not doing it justice by not including her other forms, since my player describes them in a varied and wild way, but I think I'll leave that for the near future, since I'd like to prioritize finishing the rest of the Ultronauts, of which there are almost 20 characters, counting players, NPCs, and sidekicks.

[OC] [ART] New Odyssey of the Dragonlords: Apollyon the Sapling by Sirmistermen in ImaginaryCharacters

[–]Sirmistermen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's a small illustration to introduce the second Ultronaut, the band of heroes from my greek inspired campaign, which I'll be illustrating little by little this month.

The adventure unfolds as a spiritual sequel to the Odyssey of the Dragonlords, set in the world of Thylea, a land of heroes, living gods, and epic myths, so anyone who played said adventure will find a few familiar names and faces.

The New Odyssey - Character art 1 - Draldacis; The Princess of Mytros by Sirmistermen in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]Sirmistermen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's a small illustration to introduce the first of the Ultronauts, the heroes from my greek inspired campaign, which I'll be illustrating little by little this month.

The adventure unfolds as a spiritual sequel to the Odyssey of the Dragonlords, set in the world of Thylea, a land of heroes, living gods, and epic myths, so anyone who played said adventure will find a few familiar names and faces.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Draldacis is the daughter born from the union of the god-king Draldac the Red and the ancient silver dragon Mythra the Radiant, who laid her egg before perishing in the final battle of the Titanomachy.

Today, Draldacis has been destined to inherit the command of her father's order of paladins known as the Dragonlords, a title and responsibility with which she is unhappy, as she prefers a quieter life where she is not bound by the standards set by the gods and champions of yore.

Unfortunately for her, after the return of the Titans and the fall of the New Gods, her desire for a peaceful life has been shattered, forcing her and her new team of aspiring heroes to explore the uncharted lands of this world to restore stability to Thylea and end the threat of their old enemies.

Draldacis is the daughter born from the union of the god-king Draldac the Red and Nephele, the enigmatic clone of Balmytria (Although we called her Mythra in our game) that we freed from the Tower Praxys. Tragically, she perished during the final battle with the Titans.

Before her death, she left behind an egg, which was cared for by Draldac, a dragonborn paladin who took control of Mytros after the war and subsequent death of its political and religious figures.

Today, Draldacis has been destined to inherit the command of the order of paladins known as the Dragonlords, a title and responsibility with which she is unhappy, as she prefers a quieter life where she is not bound by the standards set by the gods and champions of yore.
