This is, by far, the weirdest thing I’ve ever drawn.

    I love how you can see the fingers digging into his face. I never thought about how excruciating it would be to birth someone from your forehead… Awesome work!!

      Thank you! Lines in mythology like “fully grown adult crawling out of someone’s head” are definitely meant to be spoken rather than shown, so I enjoyed the challenge.

      That’s a level of weirdness I’ll have to work up to…

    This deceptively complex. That’s a lot of perfectly spaced lines.

      Thanks! Much of my life seems to be spent drawing closely spaced parallel lines these days…

    Love your style of line art, the theme, and his facial expression.

      Thanks! It’s something I’ve wanted to get out of my head for a while now. I’m sure Zeus sympathises.

    You should look into the death of the demigod Maui (from Moana). If you want to draw something strange, that would definitely fit the bill.

          His last trick, which led to his death, involved the goddess Hine-nui-te-pō. While attempting to win immortality for mankind, Māui entered her vagina, intent on leaving through her mouth while she slept. However, he was crushed by the teeth in her vagina, which were made of obsidian. [citation needed]

          That’s just wild on so many levels.

            An excellent use of the [citation needed] tag.

    I love this! It’s bursting with energy! Zeus’s face is all too relatable for anyone who’s had a splitting headache!

      Thank you! And for this headache, I’m thinking ibuprofen just won’t cut it.
