Im gonna be working on it in earnest this semester and hopefully have what I want done by the end of February or in time for my IB art show in… April? May? Who knows. So here’s a cast lineup type dealie while i figure out body types and heights.
From left to right we have the original willowy poet boyfriend™, the bad choice songbird, big mc huge large, our lady of the impossible waist to hip ratio, that one asshole and those three freaky ladies whose speech always rhymes.
“Το πεπρωμένον φυγείν αδύνατον" ("It’s impossible to avoid Destiny”) The #fates #moirai : #clotho #lachesis & #atropos The three sisters #goddesses who assign individual #destinies to both mortals and gods. They determine when Life begins (Clotho) when it ends (Atropos) and everything in between (Lachesis) [It’s just the second time that I’m drawing them and I’ve made some minor changes ;) And yes they will appear in the episodes at some point…] #threadoflife #moires #cartoonarts #drawing #vector_art #ancientgreece #mythical #underworld (à Poseidi,Halkidiki) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0p3Q8TBW8D/?igshid=y2r9no6f9hq5
It’s appropriate the Greek Moirae sisters deal in the thread business, as much of their look from Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne hails from the world of fashion. And particularly appropriate that we’re looking at this “punk and bondage” inspired collection courtesy of British fashion designer Antonio Berardi; though in this case the pertinent influence once again starts from the neck up, playing upon the work of stylist Nicholas Jurnjack. Its bouffant impressions are felt particularly with the coronal braids of middle sister Lachesis.
Kaneko is no stranger to the influence of high-fashion, particularly apparent in the Persona designs of that era but not without a healthy presence in the regular compendium as well. Even compared to other demons from the modern catalogue, his three Fates do look especially like they appeared on a runway in Paris, London, or New York. Yet more evidence of the broad range of inspiration at work within the series design ethos!
Special thanks to “some furniture” for this submission!
This piece was on exhibition this past summer and fall and I finally got a chance to scan it. I’ve seen many wonderful interpretations of death and the Fates from Greek Mythology, and I wanted to try my hand at capturing them. Snip snip snip! These ladies were a fun prompt for character design.
