The Land of Plenty: Just Another Greek Retelling
Prologue

#art #digitalart #webcomic #jagr

Page 1 of a webcomic, which opens with the following author note: "The Land of Plenty: Just Another Greek Retelling is inspired by Greek mythology, but is not accurate to the classic myths and does not aim to be. Despite the familiar names, characters, and concepts, the story is set in an entire different world with entirely different rules. Timeline, core concepts, events, and relationships between characters, among other things, have been altered to tell this story. Keep this in mind when reading. If you're looking for a retelling that stays more true to the classic myths, please check in another place. Thank you [heart emoticon]"

The following is text accompanied by small drawings:

The Land of Plenty is a bountiful place of nature unleashed. You can enjoy both the sun and the storms in the sky [a sun and a cloud], the rivers flowing into lakes and seas [a snaking river].

Page 2 of a webcomic, in the same style than the previous one:

The forests extending through the mountains and valleys [two mountain peaks], the caves that tunnel deep below the ground [underground tunnels].

But there’s more forces of nature than the eye can meet, like life [a small sprout], and death [a small wilting sprout], and survival [a set of teeth with sharp fangs], and desire [a heart].

What might all of these things that make up existence be, if not gods?

Page 3 of a webcomic:

And here, in this land, we got ourselves some god-touched people [a featureless person holding a light orb, one side of their face happy and the other upset], blessed/cursed with their gifts.

This is a story about the Land of Plenty, and about the people who live in it [a small archipielago].

Like a Starving Man

Penelope and Odysseus from JAGR ❤️

#art #digitalart #jagr #penelope #odysseus

A digital drawing of Penelope and Odysseus from JAGR. They're on their bedroom and he's eating her out.

Penelope is a fit woman with light olive skin, greying black hair falling on her shoulders from a mostly undone bun, and green eyes. She's completely naked, sitting at the edge of the bed and looking down at Odysseus as she grabs him by the hair.

Odysseus is a muscular man with light bronze skin, short greying dark brown hair, and a beard. He's completely naked, the scars on his upper arm and shoulder blade visible, and sitting on his heels and grabbing on Penelope's thigh as he eats her out.

The background is minimalistic, showing a green mattress (apparently not held up by anything) with see-through white curtains at the corners, and beige floor. The rest of the background is negative space (completely white).

Here's the image I used as a reference to do this (full disclosure I also traced the face a little bit).

Aeolia: Island in the Sky

Fanart of EPIC the musical in Ghibli's style.

#art #digitalart #fanart #epicthemusical #ghibli

A digital drawing of Odysseus from EPIC the musical done in Ghibli's style.

Odysseus is a man with white skin, mid-lenght light brown hair, dark brown eyes, and chin stubble. He wears a white tunic and a dark blue cloat clasped at his right shoulder with a round metal pin. His hair is waving in the wind and he's looking up in wonder and smiling. Behind him we see a stormy sky.

Text reads: "You've hear the legends of the castle in the sky, this proves they're true... We're in the home of the wind god!~" The word "castle" is crossed out and replaced with "island" above it.

Unholy Prayer

Inspired by Starset's 'dark things'

#art #traditionalart #originalart #prayer #blue #starset

A traditional drawing of a girl from the chest up, alongside some lyrics from Starset's 'dark things'.

The girl has paper white skin, and long straight black hair. She has her hands palm to palm in front of her, like she's praying, and has her eyes closed and lips slightly parted. She's wearing cyan eyeshadow and dark blue lipstick. Her shoulders are covered by thich, dark blue paint with white stars twinkling on it.

The lyrics around the girl's head, forming an halo, read: "eyes shut wide and going in boldly", the rest of the lyrics below her read "you and I can never be holy", all in dark blue letters.

There's an app called Tandem where you can practice the language you're learning with native speakers (and help other people learn your language too!). I haven't used it yet, but it looks useful!

Snowy Encounter (DTIYS entry)

#art #digitalart #dtiysentry #fanart #othersocs

A digital artwork showing two knee-up, side view scenes with Spade and Domino in a snowy background.

Spade is a skeleton character with greyish bones, short fluffy black hair, and glowing cyan eyes. He wears an oversized orange and black coat with splatters of white on the sleeves, and dark grey pants. A faint cyan glow can be seen under his coat at chest level.

Domino is a tiny, anthropomorphic kitten with varying shades of grey fur. They wear a lilac oversized t-shirt/dress.

The first scene shows Spade holding Domino in front of him by the scruff with a surprised expression, with his other hand in his coat pocket, while Domino smiles and waves at him.

The second scene shows Domino comfortably curled inside Spade's coat hoodie, purring, while Spade has closed his eyes, relaxed.

The Land of Plenty: JAGR- character concepts I

Had this idea in the back of my mind for ages, EPIC gave me the boost I needed to make it real. JAGR stands for Just Another Greek Retelling. Don't expect accuracy to the classic myths xD

(2/2) Btw, while the tablet issue persists, I'm gonna switch back to traditional and maybe digitalize some sketches with my phone so that I can keep making art. Traditional takes more of a strain on my joints than digital does tho, so things might still be slower than usual.

LonelyShine @lonelyshine.bsky.social · Mar 20

(1/2) Hey everyone! Sorry for the low activity lately, chronic illness and my tablet malfunctioning have been giving me trouble. I'm trying to get the tablet issue fixed. Wish me luck so that I may both go on remission and have my tablet fixed soon 🤞🏼💕
