This should have been the Gravedigger's identity, right?

It makes the most sense

God of War: Echoes of Suffering

(Chains of Olympus Rewrite)

5 years into his service to the gods, Persians attack Greece and Kratos defends his homeland against the Invasion under the charge of Athena. After driving the Invaders back, Kratos receives a vision from Athena attempting to warn him, but it is quickly cut off as the sun disappears. Now Kratos has to fight off a horde of living nightmares manifesting from an endless black fog.

The Ghost of Sparta was nearly enveloped by the black fog, until a small figure drove them away with a blast of light. The small figure in question looks almost exactly like Kratos’ deceased daughter, Calliope. Kratos tries to reach out to her in melancholic desperation, but she runs away, Kratos giving chase after his shock fades.

Kratos chases his “daughter” throughout the city until they reach a massive structure that looks as if it almost crashed into the ground. Inside the temple, Kratos is haunted by the melody of his daughter’s flute echoing through the halls. He was almost driven to the brink of madness until A woman drenched in red and orange light appeared before him, she called herself Eos - Bringer of the Dawn.

She informs Kratos that her brother Helios has been taken by Phobetor - The New master of Dreams, and all the Olympians have been lulled into a never-ending sleep. Few gods are awake to rule, so the world has been plunged into chaos.

Eos requests that Kratos use the Primordial Fire within the temple to release the Fire Drakons in exchange for a favor. 

Once the Fire Drakons began to burn once more the temple glowed with blinding light, Kratos realizes he’s on the sun and tried to rein in the burning beasts, but his hands burned the second he touched the reins.

Just then Eos appears in front of Kratos and pulls reins of the Fire Drakons pulling the Sun Chariot to the sky driving back the horde of nightmares that enveloped the cities. Once they reached the heavens Eos informed Kratos that her brother was taken to the Underworld and he would need to get there in order to save him. Kratos argued why she could not have gone there herself, replying that as a goddess of light she had no power in the sunless realm. Kratos reluctantly agrees to the request in hopes that Eos would convince the other gods to free him from his suffering. 

Eos contacts Hermes, one of the few gods still awake, and transports Kratos to the Underworld where he arrives on the shores of the River Acheron where he meets a soul which at first glance reminds him of an old friend from his Spartan days.

After short greetings the soul offers to be Kratos' guide to Phobetor, just then a blaring sound is heard and all souls on the shore gather to a dock. In the distance a gigantic boat appeared with a titanic figure at the helm; the guide refers to the figure as Charon, The Ferryman. Just before the boat was about to dock the guide cast a spell on Kratos to conceal his identity as a living, but once the shade cast the spell Kratos felt himself getting weak. Once they got onto the ferry they were accompanied by dozens, possibly hundreds of other souls each with blank or unmoving expressions.

The journey lasted for what seemed like days and during the trek Kratos fell into a slumber, in his dreams he saw his wife and child slaughtered by his own hand. It wasn't only them, his mother and his brother were among the bodies that were felled by his blades. As he breathes erratically, he can hear a voice taunting him from the dream's darkness, calling him a brute, a savage, a monster.

Just as the boat docks Kratos wakes up, he looks around and realizes that he and the guide are the only ones left on the vessel. The Guide and Kratos looked out past the dock and the only thing that could be made out was sand, nothing but swirling sand. The guide tells Kratos that this is Desert of Dreams; the section of the underworld where Phobetor has taken over. As the two arrive they are assaulted by a plethora of lesser Oneiroi and living nightmares which they must rip through to make it to the Ebon Citadel, Phobetor’s greatest fortress.

After barely surviving, they encounter an old man, sticking out amongst the almost infinite gold with wings of gray sand. He told the two traveler’s that Phobetor cannot be killed so they need something to contain him. Just then the elder began to dissolve into the sand but before he completely disappeared he left them with a small piece of advice,that they must confront the darkness in order to wake up. 

Once the old man left a glowing amulet took his place, Kratos grabbed the jewel and the two continued on. After fighting through even more nightmares they reached the top of the citadel.

Once the two got to the top and opened the doors, they witnessed Phobetor: an amalgamation of screaming black faces forming a vaguely human shape, exactly wht a god of nightmares would look like. There, he was siphoning the energy of a tortured Helios.

The nightmare god had his back turned to them but the second Kratos and The Guide entered the room he lunged at them both with terrifying speed. Kratos used his blades to slice the spectator but it was pointless the creature mended every attack. It was then that Kratos realized that the amulet could be used to harm the god. As the spartan brought the nightmare to his knees, he used the amulet to imprison the horrible spector. After it was done, the Guide that had followed Kratos for most of his journey; began to laugh in an ominous way, calling Kratos the Great Tool of Sparta as the drkness left from Phobetor entered the soul's body. Kratos was then transported to a field surrounding by glowing golden sand, there he heard the song, the same one that had been haunting him, only now it was sounded more comforting.  

Because of Phobetor's great acquisition of power, the Desert of Dreams had exapanded into parts of Elysium, and so, Phantasos transported Kratos to a little Oasis, and there Kratos was shocked to see the one thing he though he never see again: his daughter, Calliope. The two of them embraced in a hug, and for a short while, the Ghost of Sparta felt joy. Unfortunately for Kratos, this Joy was short-lived, Calliope began to wince in pain, her being fading in and out of existence as the sand grows ever closer. Just then, a woman drenched in warm inviting light appears before Kratos and his daughter, this was Makaria, first born of Hades and Persephone, Goddess of Blessed and Peaceful death, and Queen of Elysium. The goddess had informed Kratos who his "Old Spartan friend" really was: Phantasos, Master of Illusions, and the mastermind behind this whole conundrum.

Makaria explained everthing. Wanting the power to control the waking world, Phantasos manipulated Phobetor into overthrowing their brother Morpheus and seizing control of the Desert of Dreams. By consuming the power of his brother had taken, Phantasos’ power grew exponentially, allo him to lull the gods into a deep almost unending slumber. Now Phantasos had the power of the dream realm, the sun itself, and the Ghost of Sparta in his grasp. Now he wishes to let the Desert of Dreams consume everything until he and only he was the supreme god.

Kratos had to come to an impossible crossroad of descisions: stay in this fleeting paradise with his daughter forever while another mad god tries to take over the world, or leave Calliope, again. He didn't have a choice, but in his mind, in that moment, he chose to leave her. It took all of his strength to pry his daughter away, as she cried and begged him not to, but it was the only way. With tears in both eyes, the mighty and powerful Ghost of Sparta hugged his daughter one last time. Makaria gently extended her hand and Calliope went with her to Elysium.

Kratos made his way back to the citadel, agrier now than ever before. As he entered the building Phantasos tried to keep up the illusion of Kratos' spartan friend but it was pointless, the ghost of sparta usd the amulet to reveal Phantasos' true form, a cloud of smoke with shifting masks for faces, he threw daggers at Kratos in retaliation.

The illusion master used Kratos’ worst nightmares as weapons, visions of his wife and child berated him until he was brought to the floor. Only through his sheer rage was Kratos able to break through the illusions, and attack Phantasos.

Their fight broke Phobetor’s castle and brought them to the Desert of Dreams and Phantasos hid within the flowing sands, mocking the Spartan. Only after the dream god dared to say that Calliope deserved to die was Kratos able to grab Phantasos and pummel him into the ground. As The Ghost of Sparta pulled out the amulet, Phantasos, using all of his power, cursed the man with eternal nightmares, and just before the Illusion Master was sucked into the amulet, he berated the now broken warrior, telling him that his suffering shall never end.

Once the two Oneiroi were imprisoned within the amulet, the gigantic sandstorm that enveloped the desert began to settle and the elder from earlier appeared in the center where the citadel once stood, and and the swirling sands of the storm coelesed around the man showing the form of a gray figure with enormous wings, revealing himself to be Morpheus, the God of Dreams, he thanked Kratos for relieving him of his brothers, but it fell on deaf ears. Kratos begged the god of dreams to free him of his curse, but unfortunately it was impossible. Morpheus explained that Phantasos had his own power combined with Phobetor's and the power of the sun, nothing can remove Kratos' curse not even Morpheus.

Keeping his own promise to the gods, Kratos returns Helios to the temple. But he is left with the knowledge that he we never be free, forever plagued with visions of his family.

Weak from the days of battle, Kratos falls unconscious from the sun chariot, but is suddenly stopped before striking the ground. He was placed on the cliffs he later would jump from in the original God of War. Three figures approach the unconscious warrior, two of them revealed to Helios and Athena. The Gray Goddess retrieves the amulet as the Sun Titan removes the spell placed on the Spartan. Both Gods contemplate helping Kratos further but a shadowy figure behind them interjects saying that the Ghost of Sparta must “Walk his path alone.” The three beings exit through a portal leaving Kratos lying on the shore near the Aegean Sea. 

The gods decided the herratisation of all humanity but a Valkyrie decides to save humanity by doing nothing more and nothing less than Ragnarok but not only gods will participate but beings from other worlds will be the representatives of humanity

Commission for @wintersummer–3232 <3 Thank you very much for such an interesting request and for your patience! God of War AU.  Second chance for the evil God!

IS THAT A GOW REFERENCE??????!!!!???

My Oc x cannon I’ll make story and think about her name (💀) later

Also shoutout to @engardeitsme I was like mehh he’s not all that to he’s everything lmaoo ( I LOVE YOUR WORK SM FGYFJGGU ) ( and the ring too 😚😚😚)

Wait, it’s not mimir?

I have spoken.

Ares the god of war

So did a fun collaboration on instagram, so check it out if you'd like?

A female/fem presenting version of Kratos would still be bald or at least have a buzz cut. I am tired of people taking the cowardice approach whenever gender swapping characters. She would be a BUTCH LESBIAN and still have a BIOLOGICAL SON/DAUGHTER because she's a GODDESS and the LAWS OF NATURE DO NOT APPLY TO HER. Also implied with the lesbian part but I still feel like it needs to be said, she'll still have beautiful WIVES and be BAD at talking about her FEELINGS.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk. Also I am a lesbian irl so I am infact an expert and any criticisms must be worded gently or else I WILL cry.

Anxiety is making me want to make ponysonas for my favorite characters.

I don't even like My Little Pony

Sorry for being so dead, exams have me on a chokehold. Once this is all over by the end of March, both my art and fanfiction (chapter 2 of "Loathing" and other fics I have in the works) will return to normality.

On the topic of fanfiction, due to the recent non-consensual AI scraping on ao3 (and other fanfiction platforms), I've been forced to private both "Loathing" and "Giddy, they said" to only registered users until further notice.

I don't wish to do this because I want my works to be available for all to see but this is better than letting them be scraped for AI shit. I am sure ao3 and other fanfiction platforms are working yo solve this issue.

I found it funny how Atreus looks 95% like his mother, I mean did bro even try?

Upgraded from phone to screen. Once I sort this baby out it is OVER my guys 😈😈😈

How my week is going

Also yay I made a sona

From all the things that could have happened to him, this was by far the most insulting. What were they thinking? A tutor? Really?

Or

After sabotaging his own grades, Kratos is forced to be tutored by the son of Odin, the head of the academy and trusted friend of his father. Unsurprisingly, they don't get along one bit. But, as the two start to unwillingly learn more about the other, they slowly start to find the other's company is not as awful as they first thought.

Quimera Baldur concpet art

(God of War x Dungeon Meshi au)

Close ups (+Silhouette)

Apologies for taking so long to post! I didn't expect for the original post to be so well received so I didn't have much planned. Now that I have a better idea of the story I can get to work with a much clear head!

Design breakdown:

I kept the shapes and dimensions pretty similar to the Quimera Falin design except for the deference between the front and the back legs because I wanted for the separation between the dragon and the chicken part to be more striking.

The biggest changes are color-wise. Quimera Falin has red scales and white feathers, the white symbolizing Falin's purity while the red symbolizing the corruption of her soul, kind of like a wedding dress soked in blood: Something clean and pure stained by great tragedy.

Baldur is NOT pure and Freya is far more expirenced in magic that Marcille was, that is why I went for a design with a more balanced color pallete. It is far more Rooster inspired since it has far more impressive colors AND can fit with the overall color schemes shared by the Valkyries (for lore reasons of course)

I have some parts of the story planned out and will definitely post more about this storyline!

Questions are always appreciated

Some concepts for my GOW x Doungeon Meshi au

"After the death of her son at the hands of Kratos, Freya decides to fuse Baldur’s dead body with what little life remains in his pet Red Dragon body.

The abomination flees away into the branches of the World Tree, possibly ending up anywhere in the Nine Realms. With Ragnarok just around the corner and the witch trying to protect his "son", it is up to Kratos and Atreus to hunt it down and stop it's rampage... that is if Freya doesn't stop them first."

I have a few GOW aus I never sat down and drew that I wouldn't mind exploring in the future, this one included. I'm calling it "Quimera Baldur au" but any better name suggestions are much appreciated as well as questions! If you have them....

When I'm looking at references of Atreus with the Asgard armor buts it's all heimtreus art.

I don't know who made this banner I found it on Pinterest but THANK YOU

OH BOY, AESIR.

Basically how the scene went just... for the worse... *cries*

I love G.I Robot so much! Unfortunately, my GOW brainrot is an infestation that spreads to all media I consume.

I'm on artblock right now and unable to make any process on any of my projects so, as a form of apology I offer some more character studies (of Sindri and a re-do of Freya) + Some of my warm up doodles!

Honestly, if there's a GOW Character you'd like me to do face studies in the future, just ask and I'll try it out!

The warm up doodles are definitely more cartoonish than my usual stuff but I still like them!
