Anonymous asked: Dear Arbetta, I fell in love with greek myth because of you... so Thank You!!!! But i wonder why do you draw more greek goddesses than greek gods??

Thank you!!! Glad you like my mythology work! ^__^ Ehmm… Why I draw more goddesses? hehehehe Because it’s easier for me to draw girls, as simple as that. I want to improve at drawing guys and giving them different features (I draw them all very similar), so meanwhile I draw girls with different features more easily. Besides, I love giving them different hair, dresses… all the cute stuff ;)

Yes! I know the story! I ABSOLUTELY have to draw Atalanta, she’s one of my favourite Greek heroines! Hippomenes’ race is great too! I will draw them, thanks for the idea! ;)

adorablelittlehipsterboy asked: I think i asked this before but i cant remeber would you ever draw the erotes i love the way you draw the goods and would love to see them in your style.

Hi again! ^_^ Yes, I will draw them, I like their concepts very much, but I want to finish the Muses and a couple of heroines first, but thank you very much for the suggestion, they are on my list of divinities “to draw” hehe :D

Anonymous asked: I love your Melinoe and Macaria drawings! Do you think you can do one of them together? I have looked through all your drawings. They are amazing!

I will draw Macaria and Melinoe together, certainly, just wait for it! (I’ve already done it, but I’ll keep drawing them, yes) :) And I want to make a portrait of the whole family, too ^_^ Thanks for the support!

the-ladyinthelake asked: I just took a walk through your archive and everything you draw is so, so beautiful! If you have any time, can I request some more ASOIAF? Dany or any other female character you really like? (Or Margaery, who is my absolute favorite?) Thank you so much :) <3

Hi and thank you for your words! I don’t draw requests at the moment but sometimes I draw and paint from ideas people tell me about, so it’s ok! I love ASOIAF and will do more fanart in the future. I have a portrait of Margaery (who is also one of my favourite girls in the series and the books!), only she is dressed in a XVIII century dress hahaha :D Hope you like it!

Anonymous asked: YAY! the great twin deities! I love this couple (pssst! I ship them! is it weird?!) hope they get more exposure through your art. they are so cute together. Pls continue with your work. And... thank you ~ xoxo

Thank you! Glad you like the twins! :D Pssst! Shipping ANYTHING Greek-mythology related IS NEVER WRONG!!!

Here we have sisters, brothers, uncles, daughters, dads who eat their sons, sons abandoned in the forests, innocent girls, running nymphs, ugly monsters, creepy transformations, dead people, pug cerberus, ghosts, bizarre abductions… anything goes! That’s the great thing with Greek mythology. It has no limits and it’s really, really fun ;)

I don’t mean with this that all this things are correct or that I approve of them, not at all, I just want to say that it’s fictional characters we are talking about and that they have such strange and wonderfully WTF relationships that you cannot say they are not interesting and inspiring! Thank you again for your words ^_^

Anonymous asked: I absolutely LOVE how you color! Would you mind giving us some hints and tips?

First of all: thank you so much!! ^_^ And sorry for the late answer… I’m just a hobbyist at this, no professional with secret weapons, I just paint in one or two layers, in a very simple way and use the colours I like from different sources (famous paintings, fanarts I like… whatever I love!). Here you can see a crappy tutorial of mine about stealing and painting in the simplest way possible ;)

I have also made a “step by step” collection of one drawing I did some months ago, so you can see the painting process. Hope you like it, or you can use it in some way. I’ll probably make a video tutorial as soon as I finish my exams so you can see better. Thanks for asking me and for liking my stuff! *huge hug*

Anonymous asked: Hi Arbetta!! I'm a big fan of greek gods and goddesses, so when i saw your art and sketches i'm so inspired!!! Your work is Incredible!!! Because of your art, now my favourite greek couple is Hades and Persephone!! can you draw more scene with two of them in it?????? Please?????

Hi! And thank you so much for writing me, I’m happy you like my drawings and the Hades and Persy couple! :D I will post new drawings of them, sure, and I want to make a complete family portrait too. In fact, I always wanted to make a comic of the couple, but right now I’m very busy. When I get free time from exams and works and pending stuff I’ll post new stuff about Hades and Persephone, yes!! ^___^

Artemis and Apollo are probably the greatest twin bros pair in Greek mythology&#8230; I wouldn&#8217;t dare mess with them!
(Pssst! Queen Niobe did, she said she had more and better sons and daughters than Leto, Apollo and Artemis&#8217; mum, so they went and kill all of them, that&#8217;s some serious mommy love!)
