in the months between the end of the war against Gea ( The Blood of Olympus) and the returning of Apollo ( the Hidden Oracle), there were pretty calm days in camp half-blood and I’ve imagined how Nico and Will’s relationship was before they become a real couple.
you know, that “fantastic” period when you like someone and don’t know if he has the same feelings! :D
Soooooo, I’m alive guys! sorry for the lack of posting! I’l try to be more active again on tumblr!!!!! by the way, let’s start the year with…a Solangelo mini-comic ( an old one that my lovely Patrons already saw)! I’ve kept this comic as much as generic as possible, so I don’t spoil anything from the Trials of apollo saga. - -
- - ‼️‼️‼️ SO, if you haven’t read the books you should skip the explanation below ‼️‼️‼️:
This comic is set between the end of The Burning Maze and Tower of Nero (before Apollo comes back to camp half-blood). after learning Jason’s Death, Nico was so hurt and sad. So, this is a moment in which Will tries to comfort him .

I’ve made also a full process video of coloring a full page of this comic! You can find it on my patreon page with the Onigiri Tier ! If you like what i do and would like to see this kind of content before anyone else, please consider to support me on patreon (https://www.patreon.com/alessiatrunfio) !
“The boys sat comfortably next to each other, Will’s arm around Nico’s shoulder, as the son of Hades twirled a burnt marshmallow on a stick.” (Rick Riordan, Tower of Nero page 375)
Slowly, Will pulled an arrow from his never-ending quiver and nocked it to the string. Apollo moved to one side, standing next to Magnus but not acknowledging him, and both of them watched as, with trembling fingers, Will raised the bow and slowly drew back the string, astonishment all over his face as it actually obeyed him, drawing all the way back to his jaw. He held it there at full draw for a heartbeat, maybe two, before letting the arrow fly off into the distant landscape of Jotunheim.
It was another heartbeat before he lowered his arms, both the left hand holding the bow and the right hand hovering at his shoulder, looking absolutely gobsmacked.
Excited to show my take on @/karendelavegart’s #dtiys over on Instagram! She’s one of my favorite artists right now, and I love her art of the Kane Chronicles, so definitely check her out! ✨
Also I decided to use my redesign of Nico from my pjo lineup, I haven’t posted the update yet
