Description
Then the girl appeared above me.She had almond eyes and caramel-color hair braided over one shoulder. She was... fifteen? Sixteen? It was hard to tell. She had one of those faces that just seemed timeless. [...]
""Who?" I croaked.
"Shhh, brave one," she said. "Rest and heal. No harm will come to you here. I am Calypso."
- Percy Jackson: The Battle of The Labyrinth, p.207
This is supposed to be when Percy wakes up on the edge of the water right after Calypso has rescued him. When I read this description of her from The Battle of The Labyrinth, I itched to draw her (Rick Riordan's descriptions are always very effective at getting my creative juices flowing), and so finally here it is. I tried to do a glowy effect and I'm not entirely sure I succeeded the way I wanted to, but overall I'm pretty happy with it. (:
I suck at clothing designs though hahaha. I can usually get a general gist, but as soon as it gets to details, my brain stops there xD

Beautiful...I love the look of pity on her face, and the simple background adds to it all the more! The shading is beautiful as well! Calypso is one of my favorite characters, despite her minor role...

Her role WAS really minor, wasn't it? I was surprised by how much I was moved by her situation too, because I've never really gotten that into minor characters, but it was just so sad!!
I'm glad you like my portrayal of her!

Her role was minor, but I believe I read somewhere that Rick might bring her back in the Heroes of Olympus series...I'm certainly hoping so!
I almost cried after that chapter in Battle of the Labyrinth, because I just felt so conflicted! I wanted Calypso to have someone, because it was obvious how lonely she was...Yet I wanted Annabeth and Percy together.
GAH! It's awful really. She just needs to come back, and be there for Leo or Nico I guess.
