This is, by far, the weirdest thing Iāve ever drawn.
Unhinged! Love it
Thank you! I had so much fun making something so weird.
Amazing work, incredible vision. Your skill using lines expressively is great, love it!
Someone drawing so many straight lines by hand without the whole thing looking woobly is magic to me
Thank you! Thereās so much I could do better here, but I had a lot of fun with it!
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 foreheadā¦. Awesome work!!
Thank you! Lines in mythology like āfully grown adult crawling out of someoneās headā are definitely meant to be spoken rather than shown, so I enjoyed the challenge.
This is good! If you want even weirder do Aphrodite!
Thatās a level of weirdness Iāll have to work up toā¦
This deceptively complex. Thatās a lot of perfectly spaced lines.
Thanks! Much of my life seems to be spent drawing closely spaced parallel lines these daysā¦
āI HAVE THE POWER!ā
I heard it in my head with the echo and everything
RAAAAAAR!
Love your style of line art, the theme, and his facial expression.
Thanks! Itās something Iāve wanted to get out of my head for a while now. Iām sure Zeus sympathises.
Love it!
Thank you!
I love this! Itās bursting with energy! Zeusās face is all too relatable for anyone whoās had a splitting headache!
Thank you! And for this headache, Iām thinking ibuprofen just wonāt cut it.
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.
Iāll have to look it up!
Found it! Fourth paragraph.

Thatās just wild on so many levels.
An excellent use of the [citation needed] tag.
