Round Seven: Loa

Before kicking off a new round, I wanted to post this, revisiting round 7.




Little Loa, the ghost in the machine.

...Hades test the temperature...

...and is my fourth deity for round seven!...I'm going to keep posting until someone else does!...

...Ares is a busy god....

We've gone too long without a post! Here's some God of War loving for you...

Round Seven - Sargeras

Sorry this is a little late - I've been busy with a webcomic I'm working on with a friend. Anyhoo - So this is my entry, the Avatar of Sargeras. He's a baddie deity from The World of Warcraft. I couldn't focus my strengths on any other kind of real world one without setting off some kind of minor riot with my wry sense of humor. If ya wanna know more, dig it: http://www.wowwiki.com/Sargeras

The Endless

"Dream" and "Delirium". Two of the "Endless". Sorry for the long delay in posting. This is an unfinished WIP as I am still learning my way around digital painting.

Lucifer

Cast fom the heavens into the abyss, busted up from both battles and the fall, he commands loyal legions as the prince of lies......I went with a scarred and charred version, no pretty boys in hell. Alchemy Alpha 7.0 with some Adobe Photoshop work on top.

Round Seven: The Dioskouroi

The Dioskouroi, also known as Castor and Pollux, twin sons born to Leda , who was visited by both her husband and Zeus in the same night (as a result, Pollux was born Immortal while his twin Castor was human.) They are also the brothers of Helen of Troy, and half-brothers of Hercules. When Castor was killed, Zeus allowed Pollux to share his godhood with his brother so that they could remain together for all eternity; they exist in the stars as the Gemini Constellation

The Cancerous Deity of Nicotine

He is real, I swear!
Alright… I made him up. I just quit smoking, it’s day two and it sucks… So I decided to make a deity that I can blame and curse and throw darts at.

Red and black ballpoint pens, red colored pencil, yellow highlighter, and coffee washes.

Round Seven: Deities, Sedna

Sedna is an Inuit goddess of the ocean. There are many different legends surrounding her. In one, her father tries to marry her off but she doesn't like any of the suitors. In protest, she marries a dog instead. Her father became so enraged that he tried to throw her into the ocean, but she clung to the sides of his canoe. He then chopped her fingers off one by one, and these fingers became the many animals of the Arctic. She fell to the bottom of the ocean and resides there still. The Inuit shamans have to travel to the bottom of the ocean to comfort her or she won't release any animals for their tribes to hunt. Its a real interesting dichotomy because she can be a goddess of life and death.

This was done in ink and acrylic.

Round Seven

Round Seven - Loki the Trickster

I adore trickster figures in all mythologies. Norse god Loki is up to no good with his son Fenrir and another wolf...either Skoll or Hati. I didn't go for full-on shading with this sketch, but rather just a hint. I hope I have time to sketch a few more... :)

Round Seven: Deities - Tezcatlipoca

Tezcatlipoca, Smoking Mirror in Nahuatl, rival of Quetzalcoatl in the Aztec religion and god of night and war was definitely a "Chariot of the Gods" candidate.
