Last one. He almost looks charming, doesn’t he?

Three cyclops brothers were said to have forged Zeus’s lightning bolt, and cyclopes were said to have built the walls of several ancient cities. So, perhaps this guy is reviewing some plans for building something.

A cute cartoon cyclops stands holding an open scroll in his hands. He has a lopsided grin. He is dressed in ancient Greek fashion, a toga and sandals laced up his calves. As a cyclops, he has only one eye centered in the middle of his face, no nose, and purple skin and hair. As a cartoon, he has a small body, huge head, and disproportionately large eye.

Fresh from the ocean.

A cute cartoon siren lays on the ground with her cheek cupped in one hand and tail raised to curl behind her. She is smiling slightly. She is wet. Her black hair is plastered to her head and body, the ends pooling on the ground at her side. There is a puddle around her. As a siren, the lower half of her body is a fish tail, and her skin and scales are blue. As a cartoon, she has a small body and huge head with disproportionately large eyes. She is isolated on a pink background.

Gorgon

Using a mirror is a safe way to look at a gorgon, so she’s in no danger of being turned to stone.

A cute cartoon gorgon stands with one hand arranging her hair-snakes and the other holding a mirror she is looking into. She is smiling, pleased with her reflection. She's dressed in an ancient Greek style, including a simple white shift and sandals laced up her calves. As a gorgon, she has snakes for hair, green skin, a flat nose with slits for nostrils, fangs, and yellow eyes with vertical slits for pupils. As a cartoon, she has a small body and huge head with disproportionately large eyes. She is isolated on a yellow background.

Let’s take a break from the mundane cartoon people I’ve been posting. I’ll come back to them, don’t worry. (I have 150 of them, after all.)

But for today, I bring you Greek mythical creatures. Cute ones. I have four to share. Here’s the first one, a satyr.

A cute cartoon satyr stands with one hand on his hip and the other gesturing as if encouraging the viewer to come take his hand. He is smiling and winking. As a satyr, he has goat legs and a tail, horns, goat ears, a small goatee, a brown tip on his nose, and his golden eyes have a goat-like horizontal pupil. As a cartoon, he has a small body and huge head with disproportionately large eyes. He is isolated on a green background.

This was a tremendously fun project to do. The theme, Explore the Unknown, was meant to refer to all sorts of fun cryptozoological, mythical, and sci-fi subjects. Included in this piece is a UFO with Roswell-style aliens, a unicorn, a big foot, the Loch Ness Monster, a kraken, and a mermaid. The font is Black Pearl by JoannaVu.
