The Gods Must Be Crazy...with laughter! [M/Mx11]

Description

Honestly about halfway through I concluded I wasn't happy with this, but it's one of those deals where you spent enough time on it already, you decide you should just finish. I figure someone will get something out of it, at least.

Cuz sadly I just don't have the time or interest to do a good solid background, and the depth of this piece really needed one. And I do think the group shot idea is kinda wearing thin so this should be the last one for a bit. Really.

The main thing I DID enjoy, though, was the character design aspect. I'm not sure how many of you were as interested in Greek/Roman mythology as I was, but it was a lot of fun figuring out how I wanted the various gods to look. Some of them are fairly iconic, but I did take a few liberties. So honestly that was the whole point of this exercise for me, but it may be lost on a number of you; hopefully I gave enough clues to identify all the gods (well, nine gods plus one extra).
I came very close to drawing the goddesses (gasp!) as the attackers, after batting around several possible opponents including the Titans and gods from other mythologies. In the end, satyrs had the right personality and are, IIRC, demigods, so they're not going to be killed for doing this.

At least this time around I really truly did explore some different body types.
And I have to admit the grumpy guy still makes me laugh.

Honestly, a much better version has now been created HERE.
