Athena in Peacetime💙

Not entirely happy with it, especially the wobbliness of some of the lines, but it's probably finished to the best of my ability right now, and it's close enough to what I was picturing that I'm pleased! 😊

Apollo: I knighted my sister with a baguette

Athena: [Sarcastically] I’m sure Artemis loved that

Artemis: [Wearing Chainmail] That’s Lady Artemis to you

Honoring Athena is also learning about the importance of work-life balance. Or study-life balance. Just balance. You can't be at your best if you haven't recharged. Go rest for a bit, and then go kick ass some more.

*crawls out of the void to hand you this and then leaves*

So I’ve been listening to a lot of Epic the Musical recently and this design for Athena just wouldn’t leave my brain, I wanted to emphasise more of her ‘goddess of war’ elements in this piece since I feel a lot of her portrayals gloss over that so I made her more muscular and armoured!! also strong women hot

I might clean this up at some point? I want to make some designs for the other gods too, I’m a Greek mythology girlie at heart

I’ve been doing research into working with Athena, I am beyond excited to start. I haven’t had the time to actually put her altar up, etc. So this is a little devotional post to her!

I know that Lady Athena is watching over me. In the chaos of starting my new job and taking on more and more responsibilities, I see her in the support of my coworkers. Their support, their open-mind and their understanding. I am being guided and supported everyday, without judgement. And even though I don't have the spoons to thank Her with devotion every day, I am grateful every time I ask a question or go seek support.

Most of all, I'm grateful I ended up here.

imagine twin children of Athena

she could give an only child to the kid's father

but no

"oh, look at this busy mortal with financial problems. i will give him a child to take care of.

i had a better idea.

will give him two children.

i'm a genius!"

Athena: You can’t say the ocean is your favourite character in every sea film!

Poseidon: Have you even watched Moana?

Thought to drop some behind the scenes on making Athena. My take on Pallas Athena's design was inspired by portrayals of her from ancient times and modern pop culture.

My original drawing at the top right was the footprint that started it all.

Her outfit was inspired by this digital creation of a surviving Athena statue. There have been studies of these statues that used to have color back then. Look it up, it's COOL and WORTH IT! Even her hair was inspired by the statues from back then. Her bangs are supposed to look like teardrops.

The colors on the Greek flag inspired her top.

I took animation lessons from a former Disney Animator back in the day, so I took inspiration from Disney's Hercules Athena with the character design, the long neck, a bit of her height pose, and her little owl, Noctua.

Noctua is inspired by the little owls (Athene Noctua) hailing from Europe. Because of that, I made her helmet look like an owl head.

For the pose with her owl, I discovered this image from an 80s classic, Clash of the Titans, a movie I plan to watch soon.

What got me back into Greek Mythology was watching Epic the Musical animatics like Warrior of the Mind. To @wolfythewitch and @gigizetz, I blame BOTH of you for wanting to draw my version of a tall owl lady! For those learning about Epic, please check it out and give @wolfythewitch and @gigizetzs' videos a watch.

I had to look up hand references because I struggled to finish her. The hand holding the spear was inspired by a screenshot of Jasmine's hands and another source I'll bring up next. The hand on the right with Noctua was inspired by a hand pose of Disney's Athena and a hand reference I found on Deviant Art by the Etherington Brothers. (Link below the list)

I recently discovered the Olympians Graphic Novels by George O'Connor. Athena from those books played a role in figuring out her design. Check out those books if you guys have the chance! Highly recommend them!

Stolas from Helluva Boss inspired Athena's facial features from her head shape, mouth, and eyes, which can glow if she wants them to.

Athena's armlet, arm plate armor, and the Aegis were inspired by Athena's design in the recent roleplaying musical video game Stray Gods. If you love musicals and crime-solving, I do recommend it.

That's it for now! If I forgot something, I'll do another reblog of sources. Also, those discovering this post and liking it, please like the original post. Thank You!
