"Aphrodite always makes it seem so effortless," Zagreus agrees, shaking his head.
He looks a little irritated when Thanatos mentions their size relative to the other portraits. Not because of Than's criticism, exactly, but because he's clearly not the God of Crayon Art. He's doing his best! "I only have so much paper, but fine, I'll draw a little me for scale."
He draws a misshapen body and legs for Hades, along with burning fiery feet, and then a small figure beside that in approximate ratio to the real life thing. But he also includes the fiery feet on his own drawing of himself, so at least it mostly looks like him!
He blinks hard at Persephone's startled question. "Yours don't?" Then he gets to see Persephone's Gods, and his eyes widen in surprise. "But they're so... so small! And that's... wow. That's Hades?"
He stares at the blue-skinned man with the prominent nose, floored by just how normal he looks. He's not as dour as Zagreus might expect, nor is he as imposing. He's even handsome, as weird as that is to think about his alternate-universe dad. Zagreus brushes his fingers over the picture for a moment, before pointing to the man in purple.
"That's your Zeus? He's completely off what I would have expected. Though Uncle Poseidon's at least got the same color scheme, sort of. Oh, here, let me draw him too!"
The prince draws Poseidon next to his brothers. "Hey Than, you've met Uncle Poseidon, right? Did I draw him well enough?"
In the meantime, he's going to get started on Demeter.
