Ares in Mythology:
Kills the guy who tried to assault his daughter and refused to apologize for it when he got put on trial (it was ruled justifiable homicide by Athena btw).
The only time he’d been captured in battle was when he was protecting his mom from being captured by giants who wanted to forcibly marry her.
Found and Freed Thanatos when he was imprisoned by Sisyphus when no other Gods could
Helps found the Amazons by helping their founder escape her abusive husband and becomes their patron God.
Genuinely loves and respects Aphrodite as her own person
One of his epithets is “feasted by women”.
Ares in Modern Media:
Meatheaded sexist asshole out of an eighties teen movie.
Conclusion: My boy is getting done dirtier than Hades in modern representation. Ares is one of the least problematic Gods in the pantheon (except for the murders, I will grant you) and ya’ll are sleeping on him.
Pull yourself together
Frankenstein's creature happens to be the most specialist princess of my heart, so obviously I had to try and draw him.
a bonus silly for you all 😌
Honestly, even though I like this drawing, I'm not entirely happy with how he looks and my design choices (I'm definitely gonna work on that same day), which is kinda funny, if you think about it.

I’m noticing an increase in new fic writers on AO3 who…uh…mayy not know how to format their fics correctly..so here is a quick and VERY important tip
Using a random fic of mine as example..
The left example: ✅✅✅
The right example: ❌❌❌
Idk how many times I’ve read a good fic summary and been so excited to read before clicking on it and being met with an ugly wall of text. When I see a huge text brick with zero full line breaks my eyes blur and I just siiiigh bc either I click out immediately or I grin and bear it…it’s insufferable!
If a new character speaks, you need a line break. If you notice a paragraph is becoming too large, go ahead and make a line break and/or maybe reconfigure the paragraph to flow better. I’m not a pro writer or even a huge fic writer but…please…ty…
Time for Aphrodite & Ares!
So, for Aphrodite, I didn't want to go with her 'golden hair' descriptions. There's nothing wrong with that, but for me, it's very stereotypical. So, I went for more of her representing the phrase 'a fiery passion' or something similar. Like her hair looks like a flame. But I remember finding a quote, don't know if it was from Homer or someone else, but in the text, they described that Aphrodite had golden hair because her hair was adorned with golden jewelry. So, I went with that. But I'll probably make Aphrodite more voluptuous in the animatic. The ancient Greeks love having something to hold onto.
As for Ares… Well, I just gave him a helmet and man boobas. And called it a day.
I don't have anything new at the table. Most of my headcanons about him are based on his personality, I guess.
To be honest, I initially considered incorporating more imagery of a serpent or a boar. The serpent is his sacred animal, and he transformed into a boar in the myth of Adonis. I even sketched out his helmet with horns or boar tusks, but it seemed a bit too cluttered. And, giving him horns made him look like a stereotypical Viking...
I'm starting to DM again ! I had to take a break (and possibly, further more) to focus on the plot and story and everything but I just wanted to share my art of the party for my AAIW-inspired campaign :p
