god I’m reading Ashtarte and I’m considering dropping it because the type of misunderstandings they keep having are seriously annoying me.

I love that they don’t suddenly have Ashtarte forgive her family, that my girl screams I need someone to hate for all my suffering, but I feel like everyone’s emotional arc could’ve been done better than overhearing people say something out of context and that playing into the same insecurities over and over again

MY MANHWA (2022) LIST [Part 2]

I'm a Villainess But I Became a Mother

Ashtarte

The Broken Ring : This Marriage Will Fail Anyway

The Frost Flower Knight

The Villainess's Debut Novel

[literaryphilanderer]

Webtoon: Ashtarte

Author: Daon Artist: Soon Status: Ongoing Chapters read: 50

“The Firenze Empire will be met with a new light and darkness, but the darkness will swallow the light and bring the empire to ruin.” In an imperial family praised for their silver locks, Princess Ashtarte’s unique black hair is immediately stigmatized as a bad omen. With her family shunning her for being the prophesied darkness, all Ashtarte wants is to be loved, and learning magic is her sole option to achieving that. One day, she stumbles upon a spell of destiny that teleports her to an unknown place. Waiting for her there is a boy in shackles named Abelion Elforman, who is anchored by a grim past of his own. Will these two be able to work together to bring light to their dark fates?

Thoughts:

Excellent in all the ways that matter. The art is gorgeous, the story is incredibly readable. I appreciate Ashtarte's continued anger at her family. She doesn't immediately forgive them because that's the right thing to do when they treated so so atrociously. The glimpse of something sinister at work is intriguing. I'm not looking forward to the romance because I like the priest guy (the blonde) and how sincere he is in his love for the MC but eh, hearts will break. Definitely recommended.

Another good manhwa, finished. Man, Im so sad about what I read in novel spoilers though. Why does it have to end like that TvT

[thelunaticartist]

After drawing Eve, the so believed first woman on earth, let me introduce you to another female figure: Lilith.

In certain parts of the Thora it is told that Lilith was the first wife of Adam, formed from the same clay as he was. However, Lilith refused to submit to her husband, grew a pair of wings and fled the garden of Eden.

There are conspiracies that point to Lilith being a name for a Persian desert spirit, possibly connected to the Babylonian goddess Ishtar.

Divine Couple of Adad & Ishtar (Attar)? From the palace of Aramean King Kapara Aleppo, Syria c. 800 BCE Housed in Syria-Aleppo Museum

[noctilionoidea]

Been doing research into Phoenician deities recently, and obviously I started with Ashtart just with how prevalent she is across the Mediterranean. This was to hold me over before I had finalized her actual design, which pulls more from Egyptian artwork of her just to put more emphasis on the war god aspect of her. In Levantine and Cypriot artwork I always found the nature of this pose very fascinating.

some more explanation under the cut!

Scars- I have a habit of giving war deities scars in my art. I like scars and think they’re pretty. They’re meant to look kind of golden.

horns- honestly more of a stylistic choice than anything? It’s kind of a pun on the Astarte horn in Antarctica and Ashteroth Karnaim but also referencing Ishtar’s horned crown and her connections to Astaroth in later demonology.

jewelry- the earrings are simple hoops that are directly referenced from some extant artworks. The gold armbands and faience bracelets are kind of just for fun but also because I felt it could be plausible. The choker is also faience, but it’s directly referenced from a sculpture from Cyprus identified as Ashtart on an Astarte throne. For her fillet I also referenced that sculpture’s eight pointed star and some gems like garnets, pearls, and lapis inset. There’s also a golden crescent and star which is more so for adding more to the space and kinda a nod to a lot of the old interpretations and idea of her being the evening star even though there’s no evidence for that. It’s pervasive so I kind of just wanted to give it a bit of a nod.

hairstyle- Ashtart tends to be depicted with Egyptian style hair/wigs. I went for a hathor wig here since it’s the hairstyle she has on the bronze carriazo found in Seville, as well as easier for me to draw and connected with Qetesh, an Egyptian goddess with syrio-palestinian motifs who is commonly syncretic with her and Anat.

pose- Astarte figures are depictions of women in sculpture clutching their breasts. The actual connection to Ashtart is kinda… situational? But they are a pervasive part of her iconography and some are definitively associated with her. In hindsight this is also totally a pinup…

Sphinxes/cherubim- these are defining aspects of Astarte thrones, so I thought it would be interesting to incorporate, even if she’s not sitting here.

Halo and border patterns- these are just replicating some of the decorative elements in Syrian ivory reliefs from the era. I find them very beautiful.
