Week 11: FINAL ART FRIDAY, Close-ups and Trivia Art Piece: The Fate of Humankind
The art is complete! After guiding you through plans, sketches, and timelapses, we proudly present the final reveal—where imagination meets the mythic at Lockett Studio.
Here are five concise and surprising trivia facts about Legacy of Mortals: “The Fate of Humankind”
Prometheus’ Eternal Punishment: Prometheus’ torment—having his liver eternally devoured—symbolizes the cyclical suffering humanity endures when challenging divine authority, embodying the cost of defiance.
The Dioscuri’s Dual Nature: Castor and Pollux, the Dioscuri twins, embody both mortality and immortality, illustrating the balance between human virtue and divine favor as they became the constellation Gemini.
Pandora’s Paradox: Although Pandora unleashed suffering into the world, the presence of hope at the jar’s bottom suggests that even in divine punishment, the gods granted humanity a source of resilience.
Hubris and Fall: Figures like Icarus and Niobe serve as timeless examples of mortal pride, with their tragic fates reinforcing the theme that arrogance before the gods leads inevitably to downfall.
Moirai and Fate: The Moirai, or Fates, personify life’s inescapable destiny, where Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos weave, measure, and cut the thread of life, demonstrating the limited agency mortals possess in the cosmic order.
✨ In your opinion, which character didn't deserve to be cursed by the gods? Or maybe, which character should have been cursed or punished? Share your thoughts in the comments—we'd love to hear your perspective!
Check out our website (www.lockettstudio.co) and discord channel in the Linktree
—we can't wait to hear what you think about our interactive art pieces and the narrations by the heroes.
