So when I finished with her, I felt something was missing. She has no clothes and very few accessories, so most of the colors come from her pink hair. You see, Aphrodite basically has two colors: her white skin, and her pink hair. I was right, because Stella had a lot less detailes than Mira, but as it turned out I had to spend a lot of time adjusting the shadows to her. At the end I was kinda right and kinda wrong. I had no problems with the colors at all, they kinda used very bright and saturated colors just like me.Īfter Mira, I decided to finish Stella next, because I thought she would be a lot easier than Mira. And I'm really happy I did that :) While it took some time, I found a ballpen style brush that looks very similar to the game's linearts, and after that it went surprisingly well! I looked and studied some portraits and concepts from the game, and I saw that they use three types of shadows, and that was very interesting. But now I decided to completely finish Mira, and see how it would look. I usually complete the lineart, then the flats, then the shading, then the rest. So I decided to swap up the usual progress quite a bit. But this is a HUGE picture, and I was kinda afraid that if I mess up the style I'll realize it too late and it's over for the whole picture. At the end, I decided to try my luck with the game's style, because it looks so unique. When this picture won the vote, I was thinking if I should just make it in my own style, or if I should try to imitate the game's art style. Oh, and even their designs were very similar, especially their hairstyle :D Evie as Persephone: Both of them are very kind and calm, and both of them feel good in nature. ![]() Alexander as Poseidon: Man, this was a perfect fit! Their design, their colors, even their personalities are very similar! ![]() Miralle as Zagreus: I thought their big mouth and devil may care attitude fit really well together :) And both of them are great fighters too! Okay, Alma only thinks she's smart, but still :D Alma as Athene: I think this was also a good match, because both of them think highly of themselves, and both are sure that they are very smart. Estella as Aphrodite: I don't think this needs too much explanation, both of them think themselves pretty, and are indeed very pretty :D And I thought their somewhat vindictive personalities was a good match as well. And the suggestions fit so well that I just had to make all of them, and add Miralle as Zagreus :) So let's see the characters in order: ObscureCultist suggested a few sketches where I could combine my characters with some characters from Hades. ![]() So excuse me for the HUGE wall of text (maybe this is the longest so far), but I have a lot to say about this picture :D Finishing this picture took me maybe more than 30 hours, but it gave me a ton of fruitful challenges, and a huge style practice. It's a tribute that was worth undertaking a lot of challenges and risks. So this picture is a lot more for me than a simple fanart. Roguelikes is one of my favorite video game genre, and I think Hades is one of the best roguelikes I've ever played. The incredible combination of gameplay, music, art style and the extremely well written and memorable story and characters is something one just can't have enough of. I spent months playing with that game, because it literally made me an addict. When this picture won the vote I got incredibly excited, because I got a chance to make not just a fanart, but rather a tribute to one of my favorite games: Hades.
