a brothers and sons compilation
As an astral projection, Phobetor is more or less fearless since he knows he's untouchable. (Just don't let Thanatos or Chal near his physical body, that could get ugly).
From left to right; #Chal, #Thanatos, #Hypnos, #Pho and #Icelos there peeking in the corner.

i wanted to draw mortal Ganymede and that meant I had to draw a little of his family
in case anyone's unaware Ganymede was a Trojan prince, he's like a great-great uncle of Priam of Trojan War fame. He had two older brothers who were mythologically very protective of him because he actually almost got kidnapped at LEAST once before Zeus snatched him. Ganymede was literally said to be the most beautiful person alive when he was alive.
His mother was also a nymph! A naiad named Callirhoe to be exact, which makes a lot of sense because goddamn Ganymede is so pretty it's clear to see he's got nymph-lineage running through him whoops
So I drew Callirhoe down there too. She's dead, though. She's a water nymph. There was a drought.

Soon Ganymede will be turning himself into a daemon to scare asshole Olympians into getting away from him
Normally or in "resting" position or whatever he looks like the image on the left, but Gany's design is based around the idea that while daemons like Epi and Wren are more predatory creatures, Ganymede's basically prey. There are animals in the wild that utilize different techniques to scare away their own predators-- puffing up, looking bigger, spiking up, false eyes, all sorts of things, so Ganymede's overall design is kinda based off of that concept. As you can see on the right, if provoked, all those features on him on the left quickly open up to freak out any weak-hearted Olympians poking at him. read: all of them
unsure of whether the extra two eyes on his stomach work or not, they're closed most of the time so uh
Since Gany's customizing himself as a daemon he isn't based off of one specific animal, and I don't think he'll be able to shift into a walk-on-all-fours-can't-speak-daemon like Wren and Epi are.
He is based strongly off of a bat though just bc i really like bats ugh

It's apocalypse day!! No, not kidding. The famous end of the world prophecy of Norse mythology had been carefully calculated by Norse historians to be taking place on... today. Yay!
You can find all these things out from Google (a lot of versions are different, so I strongly suggest googling Ragnarok yourself!), but basically what happens is that the sun and moon get swallowed, the Fenris wolf breaks free and eats Odin, Jormundandr breaks free and eats Thor, Loki and Heimdall kill each other, the world is doused in water, poison, fire, and then water again, and then eeeeverything ends. Two survivors are left over (don't get excited, they're pre-decided: Lif and Lifthraser) to repopulate the Earth and start all over again.
