The gods are only human. |
Hestia is known as the virgin goddess of the hearth, architecture, domesticity, family, the home and the state. She's the first child of Cronus and Rhea, and the eldest of the first set of Olympian siblings. She's usually...
Hi guys! First of all, thank you so much for making it this far into Fireside. I appreciate all the comments, suggestions and reactions you've given. It makes all the effort I put into each story completely worth it. So without further ado, here are the drawings I promised I would make for each character that has already been introduced.

We've all seen Hades and Persephone already. Seeing this drawing again, I now wish I had added blushies to Hades' cheeks, lol. It would've made him look more embarrassed, especially when coupled with his stare that screams 'don't you dare touch my wife.' By the way, as much as I wanted to make their clothes historically and geographically accurate, I wasn't able to find the time for research. Let's just say that the Greek gods in the Fireside universe have a different, eccentric fashion sense.

Here we have Poseidon (who is so alone, I want to cry @~@). No need to panic though. He won't be alone in the future, but I'm not going to say anything more than that because spoilers. Forgive the lack of shading and details. Basically, I ran out of ordinary copy paper and had to make do with some very annoyingly absorbent Japanese art paper lying around. I couldn't put in as much details as I wanted to, because the marker ink turned into blots and smudges during my first attempt to draw him.

Then we have Zeus (with his 'beautiful' beard, lol) and Hera, with her pretty ponytail. I'd like to think that in this scene, the expressions on their face mean that they're mentally bickering, as in arguing without words. I've seen my own parents, aunts and uncles give each other 'the eye,' lol, and I'd like to think that the 'lightning lovers' would have that kind of connection as well. Despite their faults and fights, as well as their frequent bouts of immaturity, I'd like to believe that they're still a power couple to contend with. It can't be that easy to rule over everything that ever existed, after all.

Last but not least, we have our 'crop couple,' Demeter and Dionysus. They're probably on another excursion into the vineyard, or perhaps on their way to a feast. Dio looks like he has enough wine to pour down the throats of a number of men. Also, I put flowers in Demi's hair, so that she matches with Persephone. :)
And there you have it, guys. Drawings of all the main characters I've introduced so far. Where's Hestia, you say? She's not gonna appear for a little while, because I have a separate story planned for her. So please be patient.
Thank you once again everybody, and see you on the next upload!
