Another "Beyblade Burst God AU x Epic: The Musical" crossover update before the Thunder Saga release!

I know we still have a couple parts in the song "God Games", but I wanted to complete this drawing before the official release on Thursday:

I drew Shu singing as Zeus from the song "Thunder Bringer", one of the songs in the upcoming Saga!

Due to the ferocious nature of the song, I think a lot of the gods from my God AU could sing as Zeus. In fact, I almost drew Lui, which is mostly why he's depicted smiling. But then I learned that the song is about Zeus punishing Odysseus and his men for killing and eating the cattle of Helios. Shu is the God of Vengeance in my AU, which is also associated with punishment, so I decided to go with him instead. I had only drawn the jawline and the mouth at that point, so it was easy to switch gears.

(I need to get better at lighting and shading...)

And in case it isn't obvious, yes, I am drawing in a new notebook. The one I had before served me well since I first started my job, and contains many work doodles that I may or may not ever share on my platforms. Unfortunately, I filled it up, so it's time for it to retire.

I have this bigger flip notebook now, though, so hopefully I'll be able to create slightly larger drawings. Let's see how far this new one takes me!

Here's the song that the drawing is based off of, animated by the amazing Radical Drawings! See you guys in the next work doodle!
