WIP Zodiac Poster
Added 2023-04-01 03:41:18 +0000 UTCThis poster was taking a lot longer than expected, but here is what I finished so far!
Right now in the drawing there is (from left to right):
the kelpie Kellie in horse form,
the grumpy ancient boomer (but still super cool) Anubis,
the Rat Queen (still unnamed) based on the rat king,
Asterion the original minotaur,
the Easter bunny named (very original) Easter,
and Wukong, the monkey king.
I have some ideas for the lore and stuff, for example, Anubis is still wearing his original ritual Egyptian clothing because he originated in roughly 3000 BC, and wants to stick to the old ways. Wukong, on the other hand, is wearing a hoodie and sneakers since he is a newer "myth" in around 1000 BC. Or maybe he just likes to keep up with the trends. Easter is straight out in a modernized robot egg since she is a modern tale.
That logic does not have to be that important since Asterion is still in (Greek-ish?) gladiator armor. Maybe he only managed to escape the labyrinth recently so he never caught up with the times. I can probably make some random stuff up and try to explain it after lol but yeah.

I will not try to rush this project since I do want to put some thought into each character. I apologize for the lack of wallpapers since I started the mythology comics, I hope to do one this week.
Thanks for reading!
