Chimera: Lion in front, goat in the middle, serpent in the back.

Well, Joe went and done drew hisself a picture based on what will forever more be known as "The day of the baby monkey, baby monkey, going backwards on a pig, baby monkey", so I was all like, well, what am I going to draw for "Chimera"? Certainly not Joe's silly kitten shark-- that thing's got nothing on the baby monkey, baby monkey, riding on a pig, baby monkey.

Well, I am kind of the mythology guy round hereabouts, so why not draw the original Chimera, the one from Greek myth? Well, Tim did a version of it that I can't touch, which hearkens back very closely to the (kinda sorta goofy) ancient depictions. But as luck would have it, I designed my own take on the  Chimera as part of a pitch for a spin-off series from Olympians that is currently languishing in non-development. I was fiercely proud of this somewhat more realistic take (if something like the Chimera could ever be considered realistic)  and was kind of saddened that there's a good chance it will never see the light of day otherwise, so why not share it here? So, as I was on the move all day, here's my crappy little subway doodle of the Chimera:






and as an added bonus, here's a sliver of art from that ill-fated Olympians spin-off pitch I mentioned, showing my Chimera and the Greek hero Bellerophon.

XRONIA POLLA GEORGE!

To celebrate George surviving another year on the Hypothetical Island (no small feat considering it's close proximity to Deep Six), and his formidable drawing prowess and admirable work ethic on the current book "Hades" of his series "The Olympians" from First Second, Here is the Wealthy One himself!




HAPPY BIRTHDAY GEORGE!!! Here's to many more years staring at the right side of your head.
