#Classicstober Day 29 - Mysteries 🌾✨

Not the spookiest piece but when I saw this prompt it reminded me of a paper I wrote in grad school about tiny votive figurines of girls holding piglets from Eleusis.

#Codextober Day Six: Templar

Maria Thorpe, my chaotic neutral girlie. Saw the prompt and it had to be you. I love how much she matured and grew alongside Altaïr 😭

There are quite a view videos and posts trying and somewhat succeeding to knit with it. I just said it I was keen on the theory, I’m not putting it into law 😭

#Classicstober Day Five: Hermes Psychopompos

I really wanted to make it seem he is reaching past the border to the viewer to drive home he can cross boundaries and planes.

#Classicstober25 Thanatos

I know that he is often regarded with fear and malice but I wanted to depict a young Thanatos as mild mannered with kind and patient eyes. I wanted him wearing his “melampeplos” with a soul butterfly on his finger.

#Classicstober Day One - Hypnos

I based this piece off of the bronze bust from Civitella d’Arno. I always thought his wing ears were charming! Happy #Classicstober25 !

No better way to gear up for #ClassicsTober than to finally finish a prompt I started last year 😅

I was drawn to the complex story of Regina of South Shields & I hoped to reflect the implications we can draw from her tombstone. You can read further details on my instagram post!

“So you’re saying your type is married and heavily pregnant?” - Livia, probably, when Octavian basically proposed to her right then and there despite being someone else’s girl.

Forever a secret 🪶

Happy Birthday Ezio Auditore!

Today’s sketch became a study in older #Ezio and then making myself sad thinking about him still wondering what his baby brother was going to make with those feathers all those years later.
