I feel like most of the fanarts of the characters out there are quite unrealistic. I'm not talking about cartoon looking or art style but logical perception of the characters. In most fanarts the main characters all have this look straight out of a 2010 hight school romance (a bit like in the movies actually). And I know that the book kinda encourages this look but... In reality Percy has fought monsters for years and Annabeth has been on the run since she was a child. In my mind all the characters execpt maybe for Piper Leo or Hazel should look older than they realy are and less "soft". I'm planning on making some fanarts based on this idea and I would like to know if anyone would be interested in seing the results

/!\ Disclaimer: I'm not criticizing neither the artists nor the artworks i've seen so far it is not about quality (most of them are much more talented than me) but i have found very few artworks that doesn't have this "girly" look to them and i find it frustrating.
