Simon Says...

((update with the dual destinies artbook…. someone swooped right out from under me and bought it the second i bought it, apparently. then, ANOTHER one got sold and i missed that one, too. now the guy is desperately checking his warehouse to see if he can find anymore. i may have missed out on the book and it normally costs $200…. ugh))

((omg and i thought translating APOLLO to an egyptian vibe was hard? CHRIST, SIMON, YOU ARE UNFAIR AF

i couldn't figure out to just. leave his hair normal or braid it or even partially shave his head or something... there were so many options lol

what do yall think of this??? BE HONEST...))

((...g-guys.......do i DARE do an ankhazone meme but with pharoah!apollo.... DO I DARE.......))

((translating apollo to a pharoah without hiding his design behind the nemes hes wearing is... kinda tricky ngl, but i feel like im slowly starting to pull it off

ill be adding more intricate details later but here have a WIP))

((honestly, when capcom released this, it COMPLETELY changed my perspective on simon and how i draw him

cause this frame is LITERALLY the most peak simon pic i have ever seen like????? LOOK AT HIM??? whoever drew this, how the fuck did you manage to capture his sheer, unadulterated SMUGNESS

also bby got a tan... hes been actually in the sun.... that little detail lowkey destroyed me bc he looks so HEALTHY))

((fuck it, im gonna finally work on my egyptian simollo au. its funny cause before SoJ came out, collectively the fandom basically all decided "apollo has to be egyptian in his heritage" .... and now i notice that totally died out after SoJ lmaooo.

if we're talking about normal-ass apollo, if i had to pick what I think he is.... greek, maybe? that could just literally be because of his name but 'greek' always kinda resonates with him to me, idk why))

((my friend called me the “elder simollo wizard” and i cannot stop thinking about it))

((look what iiiiii goooooot~ ill be posting pics when it gets here))

((fam how do we feel about simon being an insomniac and not wanting to bother apollo, but apollo inevitably stirs awake cause he has to go pee or get water or something. and simon's just kinda... sitting there, watching apollo, with this expression of 'lord don't be mad at me' and apollo, without hesitation, snuggles into simon and is essentially like pressure therapy, with a tight hug.... and THEN simon eventually drifts off to sleep...))

((simon with an indignant face honestly kills me lmao

also apollo... whats that smirk for.........))

((i’m doing some redraws of some old pics, stay tuned!!))
