Hey guys I hope you enjoyed!

I wanted to make this comment as some people have brought up the major changes I’ve made to the original story and greek mythos, I Should’ve explained this better in the video but the main thing i took from lore olympus was the different colored characters as I really liked that idea, but as story goes I went in a completely different direction mostly to make it something i enjoyed better personally, as I said there are smaller changes you can make to lore olympus to make it better, I just wanted to make it my own more ya know?

As for greek mythos, I changed a lot, mostly because originally the morals as expected are very dated and honestly it made me kind of uncomfortable. I know that it’s not accurate to the source material but I didn’t really want it to be.  I guess you could look at my take as a very loose representation of greek gods, I just wanted to make my story more lighthearted and fun so I felt I needed to rewrite some things i didn’t feel would fit in a more modern setting.

In hindsight i wish I did more research on greek mythology So i could add more nuanced takes on things, if i ever do another part I’ll definitely try and add more references to The original stories for sure.

Rip to colourblind people trying to distinguish people in lore olimpus

dude them fighting about slave labor THEN LEADING TO A KISS SCENE!?!?!? BRO HELLOOOOO??? WHY DID SHE DO THAT THIS IS SO SICKKKK😭😭😭 its like a skit off of adult swim LOLLL

I like that Hades has white glowy lashes. Made him look very pretty.

Also Hades being younger makes sense since there is some evidence pointing to him becoming a god after Persephone. Persephone and her mother were very likely goddess of death before they joined the pantheon. Some could say that Persephone was destined for the underworld. Her mother brings spring and not Persephone so she isn’t the goddess of it. Her mom is making spring happen as a celebration for her coming to visit her once winter is over.

I like how the author literally modernized everything, but was like “making their ages closer? That’s impossible, couldn’t happen”

The height difference between them has me CRYING.

Your version of Persephone and Hades gives me
“If you were my wife, I would put poison in your coffee.”
“If you were my husband I’d drink it.”


I absolutely love all of the designs, and you’re a big inspiration to me! ( fellow artist over here ) I’d love a tutorial on how you shade and render cause it’s really good!! ( I suck at coloring ESPECIALLY clothes )




Edit OMG TYSM FOR THE LIKES 😭❤️

og lore olympus: weird as hell romance. funky art [derogatory]. aimless plot.
your lore olympus: intriguing plot. wonderful character designs. cute romance with dramatic irony
i would read it if you were writing it

I lowkey feel like Persephone says “he wanted no pickles !” When they give hades pickles ❤️(that one meme)

after watching this just my thought is if they wanted something not creepy and close to the original myth it could had been a book on Hades finding comfort in developing a friendship with Persephone after being alone in the underworld forever. that way it's strictly platonic. just a dude trying to cope with loneliness, friendlessness, and possible feelings of abandonment from his own family and Olympus. him trying to work through his problems with someone to finally confide in

As a Classical Greek scholar, your interpretations of the characters and redesign of the original myth is really cool! It’s different, but even in the original myths, Hades and Persephone were always a healthy couple (even straight after the kidnapping as it was Zeus’ idea). Personally, I think that the story of Cupid and Psyche would be a better web toon but I’m just blabbering now, LUV UR DESIGNS

Yo imagine Hecate actually knowing about the deal and being involved with the deal herself, trying to make sure Hades and Peresphone get together in the Underworld. The reveal would be heart wrenching because Peresphone and her would become besties at that point, and even the audience wouldn't have been shown this information until Peresphone herself figures it out.
DRAMA ENSUES

The reason why Hades was so touchy about the volcanoes was because they were supposedly given to him by his mother, he actually ends up giving them to Demeter. But that begs the question, why didn’t he just tell Demeter in the first place?? She was willing to haggle?? The whole reason she hates him is because he screwed her over??
I dunno
Great video!! ❤️❤️

When I saw the Lore Olympus cover for the first time all I could think was "tv girl rippoff"

I've always liked the mythology behind Hades and Persephone (not including the kidnapping and the fact that Persephone is Zeus niece or smth), so I really enjoy seeing peoples new interpretations of it. Lore Olympus has always been a little iffy for me- like a 'good intentions but bad execution' sort of deal- so I really loved seeing your take on it! Also the designs are AMAZING!!

The agriculture goddess having a magic hippie aesthetic is so fun! All these designs are so distinct and interesting but Demeter’s is my favorite. 😄

That Persephone redesign is literally everything!!!!!!!!!!!

I think the head wings are fine, Hermes is a part-time psychopomp (gider of souls) after all. Maybe they’re a common thing in underworld higher up.
