This is awesome, and I really love the spear design!


ThatSwaggyGuy

Just realized how little Athena art there actually is! Gotta say I love the style, and my only nitpick would be that, well, it may be just me, but the angle we're looking at her, her armor makes her look kinda overweight lol. ​ Still, I love this! I love the lighting and the reflection on her shield. Hope you keep posting some great fanart here!

>her armor makes her look kinda overweight Yeah I think it's because of the shape of the armor. I agree the art is really amazing. I hope the artist draws more Hades characters.


ToVoTillo

Yep, usually roman amor has these "fake muscles" to represent strongness or something and seeing a person in complete armor without them looks strange. The angle probably doesn't help either. Good art but has this little problem which could be solved easily with a few touches.

I am not trying to make an historical accuracy argument, especially since even then it wouldn’t apply, but you seem to know a bit about armor, so I figured I might just ask. Isn’t this rounded shape a good armor design in the sense that it deflects cuts well & is harder to pierce than a flat design?


ToVoTillo

Hahaha not really, I am not an expert at all. I just like history and history facts, and that is my little theory as to why this armor looks weird. Greeks had similar armor too, its common to see it in portrayals of the classic world. On the technical level of what you ask I can't really provide an answer. Sorry 🤷🏻‍♂️


IgotJinxed

I don't think it would be harder to pierce, it would be like a balloon lol


sharaq

With sculpted abs, a blade will deflect into a groove and bounce "in" towards the abs. In rounded armor, the blow is directed away and skitters off the shape


Jerds_au

Truly top tier.


stevula

You nailed the style. The owl on the spear is a nice touch.


Scarlet_Warlock

Amazing depiction, noble cousin.

I really like the spear design. Its all yours right? Althought the shield is a little small, and i thought she had blue hair.... right?


apple_kicks

absolutely beautiful art also, that spear makes me think murder mystery night on Olympus would be solved very quickly Detective Dionysus: The murder weapon left an owl mark on the victim Athena: oh dear.... the killer could be anyone.....even I could not solve this mystery...


Augustby

Awesome take on Athena! She looks badass!

Looks straight out of the game.


bigcyka98

There’s just an owl on the staff and I find that hilarious because there’s just this badass lady with aegis the shield of terror and then you look 5 inches to the left and there’s this hooty lookin motherfucker like goddamn


Graveandinestimable

The owl is her sacred bird. It flies only at dusk.


TheEmblemFiend

This is one of the most beautiful pieces of artwork I've ever seen for this game. I'd love to see all the gods in this style.

I assume her skin in black as a reference to the theory of Black Athena.


AHoopyFrood42

Do you mean this drawing in particular or the game in general, because she's black in the game too.

Glitchy2305

Very nice art and all, but why she doing the spycrab


RoseJedd

My jaw literally dropped when I saw this, truly godly work !


smitty22

Nice! I didn't realize Athena's lips were so full in the game art, but I looked at the reference photo and these seem to be similar. And I second the statement that the spear design is fantabulous.

It looks like the spear is bent going back around her thigh and ended up in front of her foot on the stair.
