Aphrodite sketch 💕

Disclaimer! Aphrodite has so many forms, this isn’t her one true look at all. I don’t claim that she looks like this exclusively! I'll do more renditions of her in the future, and finish them too hehe 💖

I now know too much about how the lyre was played in ancient Greece and, like with art of horse riding where someone's not holding the reins right or not sitting with their heels down in the stirrups, I stare at the hands and go "that's not right" to myself for modern art featuring a lyre being played by a Greek myth character.

#greek myth thoughts #I have admittedly forgotten it myself while drawing #on the other hand it was most recently on art with Paris I forgot it #and they didn't play the lyre in the same way in pre-hellenistic anatolia so #it's fine :) #shhh

Here’s a little drawing of the City of Mount Olympus.

Just a doodle but feel free to take inspiration, digitize it, make it your own, print it off, or whatever.

Helios, Titan God of the Sun, sight and oaths 🌞

Acrylics on paper, 9.5x9.5 cm.

Preparation for a mural frieze 💐

Helios is the literal embodiment of the Sun, the star itself, unlike Apollo (who doesn’t interest me at all even though he’s patron of art and things 🤷🏻‍♀️)

Helios sees everything and stirred a lot of drama in mythology 👀

His Tarot cards are XVIIII The Sun & VII The Chariot. I used to draw Arcana XVIIII a lot in readings when I was first set on healing my daddy issues lmao. I also associate him with XVI The Tower because in the Tarot de Besançon the lightning bolt striking the tower is actually the ray of a tiny sun in the upper right corner.

The Sun represents (healthy) masculine energy, kingly, fatherly, bright, warm and reliable. I have a huge part of masculine energy that receded little by little to give more space to the feminine; and I’d picture myself in relationships as the Sun to someone’s Moon. I see now that I’ll always be the Moon 🌕🥚🌑🩸

The Ineffable Detective Agency presents: the origins of the white bust in the bookshop (a really lovely theory, you should read it!)

While trying to identify some of the art pieces used in Good Omens, we did some searching and came upon this gem:

Head of Benevento:

The statue in the bookshop looks like someone made a very close but inexact copy of the head of Benevento:

European art schools used copies of Greek and Roman sculpture to train their art students. So this COULD be one of those pieces. Or it could be a student copy; part of atelier training was to reproduce "master copies".

We know Aziraphale likes to learn human things from humans - he's taken lessons in dance, French, prestidigitation, and probably drawing. Did Aziraphale attend an atelier and receive formal artistic training that allowed him to do that drawing of Gabriel?

Could he have made the statue he now displays in his bookshop? Or was it gifted to him by a teacher, similar to the way he has a signed copy of the book from the magician who trained him, Prof. Hoffman himself?

But… who is it? We know people like to theorize the "floating white head" symbolizes the way the Metatron might be watching, but the actual statue doesn't look at all like him. So, is it just some random copy, or someone who has or will feature more in the story - just like that book from Prof. Hoffman had some significance?

Wait! Look closer!

Our theory: around the same time that he was learning French, Aziraphale went to a Parisian atelier to formally study art. While there, he did the requisite student master copy of a Hellenistic bust that we know was known in France at the time, and disguised a portrait of Crowley in it. And then he proudly displayed it in his bookshop, in a very prominent/central position, to watch over everything.

Need a little more convincing? Look at these, which were filmed to give us the same angles:

And here's the final proof - the first two images are overlays; the last one is the actual statue for comparison:

From a production standpoint, we know the huge Gabriel statue was an expensive custom order from Italy. Was this smaller Crowley statue also part of that order?

Let us know what you think!

Portrait of James Barnes #2 (c. 1934)

Depicted here is a restored version of a sketch done by Steve Rogers while he was just sixteen. Presumably, Rogers drew his best friend naked out of boyish humor, and scratched it out to protect his privacy. This shows that the kinship and trust that Barnes had for Rogers went way back to their childhood. The powerful yet graceful pose is reminiscient of Hellenistic statues, which could have been an inspiration for Rogers.

In the periphery of the drawing are some scribbles that seem like practice sketches for Barnes' eyes as well as pencil tests. There are multiple stains on the book in overall, including blood and ink.
