Description
A piece I did inspired by Greek mythology.The god of war, Ares, challenged Athena, the goddess of war and wisdom, to a fight. So Ares comes charging all macho and "This. is. Sparta! Raaagh!"
...So Athena threw a rock at him and he went down. Ooh, PWNED! She threw the rock so hard that the guy actually disintegrated! (he got better later. Being a god and all) and she just stood there watching him disintigrate, like 'yeah, you don't mess with Athena, this is Athens, fool!"
Greek Mythology is awesome.
The pencils were done on regular printer paper with an hb 0.5 mechanical pencil. Inking was done in Manga Studio Debut, and colours with Photoshop. Time taken about 5 hours.

This is a good drawing of Chalkioikos, here (Athene's Spartan name- it means "She of the Bronze Chamber).

I like that Athena. Good attention to detail (especially with the little owl.)
Do Norse mythology next!

Not to mention EPIC. Half the stories are about giant wolves, or sea serpents, or Thor bashing in the skulls of giants with his huge hammer.
The other half are about Odin engaging in games of wits with people because... he gets off on that sort of thing, I guess. >_>

Not so much fast as relentless, I think hahahaha!
Thank you. I wanted to experiment with more muted colours to contrast some of the brighter work I do.
