I Like Your Art. With Your Recent Post, Could You Explain The Scars A Bit? I’m Not Well-versed In Mythology.
I like your art. With your recent post, could you explain the scars a bit? I’m not well-versed in mythology. I can tell that Than’s is probably referring to how the story of Sisyphus cheating death involved him trapping Thanatos in chains, but I have no clue on Hypnos. If Hypnos’ isn’t based on mythology, could I ask about your reasoning for the choice?
Keep up the good work on your art!
First of all, thank you for the question and the kind words!
second, the scars on hypnos are a reference to the myth of heracles (specifically in the illiad), where hera was furious with his antics and wanted to put zeus to sleep while she send storms upon his son when he sailed home
she asked hypnos to help her, which he did, and then she went on to do her bidding. when zeus woke up he knew it was hypnos' work and he was so mad that he beat up the other gods when looking for him
(you can check wikipedia and theoi for more info)
i decided to take my own spin on it and make it so when zeus was searching for hypnos, he send thunder and lightning down to every place on earth from his anger, and one of the lightnings just happened to strike our sleepy god in the back while he was fleeing, resulting in the scar!
hope this clears things up :)

Sorry for not posting for a few months, schools been messing with me lately
so have a recently finished art piece of me and my pet beefalo as a small apology for the inactivity
Ive seen a lot of people draw hypnos with a scythe as his weapon and while i think its really cool, i personally feel like a hammer fits him more because how else can you knock someone out without killing them if not with a blunt weapon? which also fits his personality imo
(supergiant please let us summon him to battle i beg you)
They definitely gossip about the other olympians and mortals during their free time i just know it
