Description
Drew some femslash with Athena and Medusa. It’s something that probably never will happen in the comics (considering that my version of Athena is asexual. She is kind of biromantic, though), but ever since I made this comic: a-gnosis.deviantart.com/art/Po… , I’ve been thinking that a slash story with those two would be quite interesting. They both didn’t follow the norms of how a woman was supposed to be, but Medusa is called a monster while Athena often is loyal to the patriarchy, aiding the male hero in his quest to kill the monster.
Anyway, sorry that I don’t have anything more serious to post right now, but my inspiration has been a bit low. The only other thing I managed to draw was Persephone dressed in a bikini with skulls. XD

You know in the earliest concept of medusa she was born a monster rather than cursed. Just to remind yoy

I was going to say "yeah, I know, I've talked a lot about that." Then I remembered that I had talked about it on my tumblr blog and not so much here on DeviantArt.
Anyway, my version of Medusa was born a monster and not cursed.

Good, I just wanted to bring that up because....well Athena here is pretty ok but there are a few myths of her doing some petty stuff-Medusa, Arachne, also how are you going to do the judgement of Paris?
I’m my mind Athena would have really just wanted the apple because it would look good on her desk

Well, the Greek gods are quite petty in general, at least by our modern standards (in ancient times it would have been seen as a bad case of hubris to compare yourself to the gods or claim that you were better or more beautiful than them).
I'm not sure if I ever will do the judgement of Paris. I have some difficulties to make the Trojan War fit into my story. Like, it should already have happened in the Mycenaean period a long time ago.

TvT this fills my mind with kinky thoughts that include snakes :,( 
Their sights are so expressive!

Heh! I was thinking that if Medusa's hair turns to snakes when she gets angry, then maybe it does the same when she gets aroused...?
Thanks!

Yay, this. I think this would be a great story and I love the idea of the dichotomy between the two. And just because Athena's asexual doesn't mean she's never *had* sex, necessary. It could be an interesting exploration of her character and of Greek womanhood itself.
(Also, hoping you post that Persephone drawing too, sounds like yay.)

You're right that asexual doesn't necessarily mean that you never have done anything.
Ah, yes... There are so many interesting things one could bring up in a story like that.
I posted the Persephone drawing on my tumblr: a-gnosis.tumblr.com/post/12275…

I often wonder how good could you be at drawing erotica...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I often think about that, too, actually.
I've had sex scenes in my comics before, but I've never tried to make a comic whose main purpose is to be erotic. And naked people is usually very hard to draw.

>Well, i'm not saying you should draw hard core... Just hints here and there, and something soft like in "destroyer of light".
I think you'll make some big money :3

Yes, if I would draw erotica it would definitely be soft core.
Oh, you really think so?

Ehhh you know, porn is the biggest industry worldwide!
And you could just draw porn myths, like Alexander the great receiving sperm from Amon

Yeah, I know that porn is big. I just wasn't so sure that that many people would pay for my drawings. ^^

I don't know quite HOW many people would pay for it, but some certainly would. Actually, I would like to see a Kickstarter or something other crowdfunding-thing for a printed version of some of your stories. I agree with Venlope, Persephone is realistic in a way many comic characters aren't. It's really refreshing.

Thank you! I have been thinking of printing an English edition of Destroyer of Light. The thing is that I don't know so very much about self-publishing, so I would need a lot of help.

A LOT of people would. You draw realistic bodies in wich people can identify with.
That's a huge pro.
See, Persephone has weird teeth, hairy legs and armpits but... she's sexy and she fucks a lot. And she's a positive figure, no matter what.
many women would identify with her and buy your comics.
