The Divine Twins vs. The Wonder Twins

As I do from time to time, I share appropriate warm up sketches I draw with my friends here on the Olympians Rule blog. Today our topic was "twins", so I drew everyone's favorite twin deities, Apollo and Artemis, vs. the old cartoon superheroes the Wonder Twins.







Apollo and Artemis won.

  1. Mmm... I like Artemis, but Apollon looks like he only has half a chin...
    I really do take these things seriously.
    Shun.

  2. I like Artemis, but that's just in general, she's my favorite. I do like how you depicted her, she kind of looks like me.

    1. Hey Anonymous, if all goes according to plan, Apollo will be book # 8 (after Ares) and Artemis will be book #9. I like the subtitles you came up with! I doubt I'll use Sun God for Apollo's book, as his association with the sun is more of a late antiquity thing and I'm going for an earlier period of mythology for most of my stories (Helios is my sun god-- but Apollo is his boss;). I'll be playing up his role in the arts more than his sun affiliation. But I really like that Artemis subtitle...

  4. Mr. O'Connor,
    I have read most of your Olympians books and I must say, I love your persective. As a fan of the Greek Myths your portayle is pretty cool.
    I'm curious if you will feature Orion in the Artemis book.

    1. Yeah, that's the plan currently for sure. Sometimes I have to trim something to make the story flow a bit better, but I'd be surprised if Orion doesn't make the cut.
