I've been very busy and feeling very overwhelmed these past two weeks, so I didn't feel like doing elaborated art. I wanted to draw something "easier" , uplifting, funny and cute to raise my mood. I gotta say, these little guys, that belong to the Concept Musical "Epic" based on the Odyssey, are genius merch and they're absolutely, chaotically adorable! They're the lotus eaters in this version, and fellow companions of the Wind god Eolus. Made with pencil on July 27 of 2024
