Another One Thank You.

Another one thank you.

So Zeus here is a Smilodon also more commonly known as a Saber-Toothed Tiger. I chose the Smilodon for him since he is one of the oldest gods and it shows his age since Smilodons are ancient and all, but it also makes him very imposing and scary. He has a mane purely because I say so and why not. His mane is made of clouds and the weather of the clouds is based on his mood. Hence the dark stormy clouds on Beast Mode Zeus below.

Also a small little detail is that he has two sets of fangs since it was recently discovered that Smilodons would keep their baby fangs while growing their big adult fangs to stabilize them :D

I have some very specific thoughts about the Wisdom Saga to share:

On the very first listen I was like "hm idk about this, it's different and idk how I feel about it yet" bc quite frankly it's not just new, it's modern. The addition of video game mechanics in Little Wolf, the use of the words "tramp" and "champ" in Legendary, "Splendid" in We'll be Fine- it's all closer to the way we speak than Odysseus.

But here's why I think this choice is so interesting; there was a study I read about people who leave their home country and live somewhere that doesn't speak their home language. The results showed that for those people, their language and vocabulary is sort of stuck in the time that they left. They don't develop variations, or the new slang that gets incorporated, and so people who move home after many years away are then seen as speaking sort of archaically.

This means that Odysseus for the past TWENTY YEARS has only had the same linguistic patterns between him and his men, whereas Telemachus has been developing his language along with his country his whole life. Twenty years is a long time, especially where technology and language is concerned (video game mechanics and "that is so sick!") which is why it felt so different on the first listen.

Heyyo I have another post and this one is my design for Aeolus and the Winions.

So Aelous is based off of a clouded leopard hence the cloudy spots (Also got super lazy with those that's why they only have 3 lol) and uh cloud tail and hair because wind/sky god you know.

And the Winions welp I was inspired to make them Black-Footed cats by this one line "Sometimes killing is a must!" and since Black-footed cats are the deadliest in the world with a successful hunt rate of 60% and are very smol itty bitties it only made sense to make the Winions black footed cats.

My TKH OC?

So no art yet since I can't really draw people

BUT that aside I had an idea for a character since you said that people could become knights via saving animals. Basically, Domitius is an older knight who in life was a Roman gladiator. In the Colosseum, he refused to kill any of the beasts and people he was pitted against and was like a beastmaster (Is that the term?) who could basically tame any animal in the wring. He would basically sway any animal in the ring to protect him by feeding them and such (He always had snacks since most of the animals were starved) so any other gladiators in the ring would be attacked by them. If they tried to attack him he would also protect any animal in the ring that was the only time he killed others. After a while, he was killed by the emperor who grew bored of him since he was a pacifist. But by doing so the beasts that were in the wring with him were spared.

His name also means "Having been tamed" "according to some website I found don't quote me on this lol not the most accurate source. I'll look into it more I swear) In reference to the animals he tames.

Basically, his death would have went down like this:

Emperor: "You are just so boring now Domitius. The same old "No I won't kill" every time! I want BLOODSHED! I want something new! It is time for you to go Domitius..."

Emporer: Dramatic thumbs down like in like in Gladiator

Crowd: gasp

Domitius: Shoos off the animals that were protecting him in the arena "Go! Save yourselves. It is my time, my friends. I No longer need your protection" The wolves whine at him. "GO! You must leave me!" The animals reluctantly slink away.

The other gladiators begin to close in on him at the emperor's command and Domitius accepts his fate to save his dear animals from being killed that day. The animals watch sadly as their protect dies but listen to him still.

Then he gets revived as a knight and actually saves his animals or something IDK lol

Still need to work out the details and stuff for him like his mark. But I wanted to get my thoughts down and share his story. Suggestions are welcome and appreciated :D

So I've worked out more details for Domitius, Above is a sketch of some ideas for his mark and weapon, and the other is a basic render of his outfit with pictures from Google and notes.

Backstory:

Before he was imprisoned and forced to become a gladiator he was a horse breeder and before that a soldier. He was specifically an Equites soldier and that is where he learned to use his Spatha as horseback cavalry. After being injured in battle he was discharged from the military and given a small farm. Because of the atrocities he was forced to commit as a soldier he became a pacifist and began breeding horses on his new farm. At first, he only bred workhorses for other farmers and for the occasional merchant but eventually, the Roman Empire soon came knocking.  He was to begin breeding war horses as he was a well-known skilled breeder at this point. He reluctantly agreed not having much of a choice. He felt extremely guilty every time he sent one of his beloved horses off to war knowing they would likely die. After a few years of doing this for the Empire, he decided he had had enough. He couldn't do it anymore. Couldn't send another horse to die. And so he refused to breed another horse for the Roman Empire. The emperor did not take kindly to this and sent his men to capture him. When they couldn't convince him to breed more horses he was imprisoned for disobeying the empire. He was sold as a gladiator slave and then went on to the Colosseum 

Outfit and Gear:

He is equipped with a Spatha as his summoned weapon. 

His general outfit would consist of a classic gladiator helmet and a gold Cuirass with a galloping horse on the center of his chest. He also has a bad(gr)ass cape for sure. He would of course have some Greaves to protect his legs with leopard engraving on them. He has big Gold Pauldrons with a lion on his right shoulder and a tiger on the left. Nothing special with his shoes just Roman war shoes.

Mark: 

His killing blow was dealt by another gladiator and it was a spear to the heart. So his wolf Mark is on his chest directly on top of his heart.

Powers:

As a knight, he gained the ability to speak to animals. This doesn't guarantee that they will listen or obey him but it makes it easier for him to persuade them to help him. He cannot talk to magical creatures only wild “real” ( real as in they exist IRL) animals so lions, elephants, gorillas, etc.

He also has a minor ability to summon treats for his pets basically he has a magical infinite supply of scooby-snacks lol

SLAMS ON TABLE I HAVE MORE OF THE SILLIES! TAKE IT! This is just a quick lil doodle I did of these two. I imagine Ody is somewhere nearby and when he realizes what's happening he'll probably try to shoo off the siren lol

Now, please. I beg of you! MAKE THEM CANON! I NEED TO SEE MORE OF THE SILLIES! THE SILLIES GIVE ME LIFE! (Also I just want to draw more sirens and Athena and this gives me a huge reason too)

Someone feed me more Athena X Siren lady content because honestly it may just persuade me to make it canon. It's getting there... I'm adoring the sillies people have thought for it so far, I never gave them too much thought but seeing people do so is giving me so much inspiration :3!!!
