(Dang, this turned into a proportional nightmare...)

I drew Arthur Peregrine singing as Ares. Like with Akira and Aphrodite, I decided to be simple with my choice, since they're both the Gods of War. Though I did just realize that all four of their names start with the letter A, so props for that, I guess!

Like with the previous update, I think a lot of gods from my God AU could sing as Ares, though Arthur could easily play the part. In the show, he's always boasting about how might (specifically his might) makes right, a trait which would only be magnified 10x in his god form. As the patron of conflict, he believes that a warrior is morally inclined to do whatever it takes to ultimately win a war - especially if death is the only way to resolve it. And if the patron god preaches this belief, then all other warriors are expected to also believe it. Which is why he would be understandably ticked when Odysseus denies this widely accepted belief and deigns to show mercy instead of ruthlessness to his enemies. In his mind, Odysseus deserves whatever horrors await him on his journey for refusing to follow this simple rule of a warrior. So like Akira, his first answer to Aiger is "leave him".

Here's the song that the drawing was based off of. See you guys in the next work doodle!
