I've been in the process of wanting to start a web comic and this drawing of the main character, Zagreus, is the beginning of that process. According to various Greek Myths, the ancient figure of Zagreus is either Dionysus reincarnated, the son of Zeus and Persephone, or the son of Hades and Persephone. For my Zagreus character, I'm taking the route for him being a demigod, so his parentage will be of a mortal woman and Hades. Most demigods in Greek Myth are mostly pictured as attractive, handsome men, but I wanted my depiction of Zagreus to reflect the opposite. I wanted to give him more of a inhuman, unearthly illustration.
