WELCOME!
I hope you’ll have a lot of fun, and feel free to invite your friends throughout the day.
MYSTERY PAINTING REVEALED!
Flying Pegasus. The color is ispired by the character from Disney’s Hercules.
Other than a dragon, which was kind of represented in MythoJuly on July 21, 2017, Pegasus is my favorite mythological creature. Did you know he is the son of Poseidon and the Gorgon Medusa?

SKETCHBOOKS!
TRIVIA, LIVE SKETCHING REQUESTS, AND Q&A
Throughout the day, I will post 3 mythology trivia questions in the comments. The first person to Reply with the correct answer, can ask me to sketch anything, and I mean anything. I will attempt to film myself sketching and broadcast my efforts Live on Instagram. FYI, I have a ridiculous fear of being on camera, so please be patient with me.
I will also attempt to answer questions while sketching, but sometimes I cannot draw and talk at the same time. So… write your questions in the comments on this post, and I’ll get to them between the Live Sketching Streams. Just make sure your question has not been asked, because otherwise this page can get very messy.
You can also comment and interact with other attendees on this page or on Social Media: Mili Fay Art on Instagram, Mili Fay Art Facebook Page, and Facebook Event Page.

MYTHOLOGY TRIVIA QUESTION #1:
Who were Hercules’s teachers?
EXPIRES AT 12:15 EST.
OK. I’m extending the dedline until 12:30. Since I’m suppose to create these sketches live, I only have limited time to do so. The next question will be posted at 15:00.
Linus!
Yay! That is correct! He was not the only teacher. Can you name two others? You won anyway. Since your answer is correct. Let me know what you’d like me to draw so that I can set up ASAP.
I believe some other ones were Amphitrton, Autolycus, Castor, Eurytus, and I know there’s a few more but forgot their names.
That is more than I know. 🙂 I had Chiron and Amphitryon.
MYTHOLOGY TRIVIA QUESTION #2:
Name Odysseus’ parents, wife, and son. Odysseus was the King of _________________ and leader of ________________
EXPIRES AT 15:30 EST.
Parents: Laërtes and Anticlea
Wife: Penelope
Son : Telemachus
I think he was king of Ithaca and leader of Homer’s Odyssey
oh, he was also a war leader in the war with Troy
Congrats Kateryna! He was a leader of a special group of warriors called Kephallenians — I did not know that before I did some research. What would you like me to sketch?
WOW!!!! Can’t believe I won this one!!!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!
If I can pick anything, I’d love you to sketch the characters of my book – the Viking twin brothers Olaf and Hrafn (10-year olds, blond, good-looking 😉 ) If you don’t mind, of course 😉 Otherwise, I can choose something else
No problem at all. Can you share a bit more about their personalities as I find some reference photos. I read the book, but I have a terrible memory. It’s the reason I buy books, I can read them over and over again.
Sure 😉
They are twin brothers and good friends. They are similar, except for the color of their eyes – Olaf’s are grey and Hrafn’s are green.
Olaf was always sure he would be the next king, as he was born first. When Hrafn was chosen, he was upset at first, but then he happily accepted to rule together with Hrafn. But the fact that he always believed he would be king is deeply rooted in his behavior. He wants to be seen as fair leader and to show off a little bit.
Hrafn is more discrete. One of the reasons for it is that he has a secret – he shares a special connection with a raven bird. because of this connection he is wiser, too – he can share thoughts and emotions with his raven. Hrafn is good with a sword, and as a new king, he has inherited his father’s sword. As for Olaf, he is very skilled with spears. But they are both young, so they dress and play just like regular boys.
I hope this helps 😉
