I liked this version a little better

whenever i’m sketching to music, i typically scribble down the name of the song that comes on as i draw. so that later, i can show you guys what pushed the drawing in the direction it went. here’s what was on the corner of this one.
since i haven’t scanned anything recently, i thought i’d share some really rough sketches i made on sketchfu. had to draw after the cover of House of Hades was released…

still gonna work on this one a little more… not quite where i want it to be, but i’d forgotten to post the progress on here.

Hazel shot to her feet. “I don’t believe this. He’s my brother. He brought me back from the Underworld, and you don’t want to help him?” - page 173, Mark of Athena

“Nico’s eyes looked like shattered glass. Percy wondered sadly if something inside him had broken permanently.” - page 539, Mark of Athena

so i was musing about Percy and Annabeth in Art History and i can totally see a lot of “oh-my-gods-we-almost-just-died-you’re-alive-i-love-you” kisses happening in between fighting off monsters and generally trying to survive in Tartarus.
then i doodled a thumbnail.
