hades gals 💀🌸

fanart of Melinoe from Hades 2, wearing a modern outfit (dark jeans, orange top), she has a big tattoo on her right arm, and is about to tie her hair with a hair band (is this how it's called in english ?)
her eyes are closed, she has nice arm muscles and looks extremely lesbian

fanart of Nemesis from Hades 2, wearing a modern outfit (red jeans, black crop top with the Hades sigil as a pattern on it), moon shaped necklace, tattoos on her left arm and pecs, as she's about to tie her hair using a green hairband, her eyes closed
(green light on her right side cause she's standing next to Melinoe's glowing arm, off camera)

fanart of Eris, from Hades 2, she's sitting, right leg with her knee bent, in front of her
right hand on her right foot, left hand on her face, framing her left eye between two fingers
she's wearing big sneakers, micro shorts, some sort of sweater with stripes showing her shoulders
she has apple tree branch tattoos on her thigh and left shoulder

fanart of Medea from Hades 2, but wearing modern clothes (tiny leather shorts with double belt, red/purple leather crop top), a nose ring, necklaces, also big tattoo covering the entire left arm (a snake, a moon crescent, flowers and leaves)
She's sitting, resting on her left hand, her right hand next to her face, conjuring some plague magic that bathes her in green light

Maybe maturing is using "come" as a verb and "cum" as a noun...

"You still call me baby?"

ARCs just went out for Headless not Heartless so I can finally share this amazing art of Carmella and Aoife by @saintsbeware.bsky.social 🍂

Check it out: forms.gle/cznSWgix8qAY...

Illustration of two women. A headless woman stands behind and is grabbing the other woman's arm. The other woman holds a severed head that appears to be alive.

Text pointing at two women. Pointing to the woman on the left: printmaker, Vermonter, still mourning, misses her wife. Pointing to the woman on the right: photographer, Irish, died 5 years ago, misses her wife.

Managed to get this done in a bit under 3 hours, used today’s drawing to explore some world building ideas… which I’ll probably do more of, we’ll see 🤷‍♂️
