Somebody science-y once told me that lightning is caused by ice particles slamming into one another in the atmosphere, causing a static build up. It's the most mythological science thing I've ever heard. That's what an ancient norse guy would tell you is causing lightning (with some added giants)
Colossal squid! I can't go past a cephalopod so large that it inspires mythological monster stories 🦑

24. Going back to where I said Ricky follows a more Romano-British tradition; in terms of his mythological basis as a character, I thought it would be fun to make him a Jupiter figure (with Katy as Mars and Wes as Janus Quirinus) - giving him a priest-king function arc.
Two pages and a panel of pencils completed today, been incredibly productive! We're now over 50% of the way through the pencils for Siren, my new Chinese mythological fairytale, coming towards the end of the year! (Hopefully!)
