I haven't really seen any fankids involving this couple yet, but is it ok to request Celaeno x Ocypete (who's from the idw comics & I think are a cannon pair)

(I may not do many of these bc I am not that great at drawing bird beaks lol, but I will try my best when they pop up!)

Ekkir (Ehk-Keer) is a very charming and suave bird, knowing just the right words to say whether with a group or a special someone!

Harpies were generally depicted as birds with the heads of maidens, faces pale with hunger and long claws on their hands. The harpies seem originally to have been wind spirits (personifications of the destructive nature of wind). Their name means 'snatchers' or 'swift robbers', and they were said to steal food from their victims while they were eating and carry evildoers (especially those who have killed their families) to the Erinyes. When a person suddenly disappeared from the Earth, it was said that he had been carried off by the harpies.

Pottery art also depicting the harpies featured beautiful women with wings. Ovid described them as human-vultures.

To Hesiod, they were imagined as fair-locked and winged maidens, who flew as fast as the wind:

"[T]he Harpyiai (Harpies) of the lovely hair, Okypete (Ocypete) and Aello, and these two in the speed of their wings keep pace with the blowing winds, or birds in flight, as they soar and swoop, high aloft."

In this form they were agents of punishment who abducted people and tortured them on their way to Tartarus. They were depicted as vicious, cruel, and violent.

The harpies were called "the hounds of mighty Zeus" thus "ministers of the Thunderer (Zeus)". Later writers listed the harpies among the guardians of the underworld among other monstrosities including the Centaurs, Scylla, Briareus, Lernaean Hydra, Chimera, Gorgons and Geryo.While Roman and Byzantine writers detailed their ugliness.

Idk if this is a good request since it's more obscure, but is it okay to ask for a Celaeno x Ocypete (character from the comics) stimboard please?

Sketches #6 - cursed edition

I always have lots of explaining to do when posting my sketches.

Here's Jacks lineup:

A friend of mine imagined 14yo Kuromaku with headgear braces, so I was like that sounds like a fun thing to draw. So now heres the nerd.

This cursed idea was one of those whats under Warus glasses hypothetical, where a thougth was 'what if waru has chameleon eyes under those glasses?'. Incredibly cursed.

Heres another cursed idea that is Gabriel but baby animal.

This is just a clone puberty Felix lineart drawing I did.

And here's my OCs, Dolon aka Kurosupai and Ocypete after they moved to Kurograd. If you are wondering WOAH WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM AND WHERES ATALANTA?? - the short answer is angst and divorce.

Legendary Creatures: Harpy

By Written and illustrated by John Vinycomb (1833–1928 biography) - Fictitious & Symbolic Creatures in Art http://heraldicart.org/fictitious-and-symbolic-creatures-in-art/, Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=114035415

Harpies (Greek: ἅρπυια hárpyia Latin: harpȳia) are Greek and Roman creatures that are half-human (chest and heads) and half-birds (wings, legs, tail) and personify storm winds. They are mostly found in Homeric poems.

The human half of the harpy is a young woman who looks pale with hunger according to the Greeks and in pottery. The Romans considered them to be ugly. Ovid, who lived from 43 BCE to 17 or 18 CE, described them as a blend of humans and vultures. Hesiod described them as fair haired and winged maidens and able to fly as fast as the wind. Aeschylus, who lived from about 525 to 456 BCE, described them as ugly and seems to have influenced those who came after.

Harpies began as personifications of winds, especially those that are destructive. The word 'harpy' means 'snatcher' or 'swift robbers' so they are said to steal food and evildoers, taking the evildoers to the Eumenides, underworld goddesses of vengeance. They were also called 'the hounds of mighty Zeus', relating them to Zeus' thunder. They were also called guardians of the underworld, keeping out other creatures like the Chimera, Gorgons, and Centaurs.

The exact relationships and names of the harpies vary by writer. Hesiod stated that their parents were Thaumas, a sea god who was the son of Gaia and Pontus, a primordial sea god, and Electra, an Oceanid, an ocean nymph who is a daughter of the Titan Oceanus and Tethys, a Titan, and sisters to the river god Hydaspes. Hesiod lists their names as Aello, meaning 'storm swift', and Ocypete, meaning 'the swift wing'.

The most popular story involving harpies is when King Phineus of Thrace angered Zeus by using his gift of prophecy to reveal the plans of the gods, so Zeus blinded him and put him on an island with a banquet that the harpies at before he could eat any of it. This continued until Jason and the Argonauts arrived. Phineus bargained for his delivery from the harpies by using his gift of prophecy to guide them. The Boreads, sons of the North Wind, Boreas, drove off the harpies. There was a prophecy that the Boreads would destroy the harpies, but that the Boreads would die if they didn't defeat the harpies. The harpies fled and one fell into the Tigris, and the other reached the Echinades, a group of islands in the Ionian Sea, and collapsed with fatigue, along with the Boread that chased her. She promised to leave Phineus alone going forward and they were both allowed to live. Aeneas is then said to meet them during the Trojan war where they took away Trojans.

Monster Lover's March 2025 day 23 harpy

A Slay the Princess AU for @monluvmarch event Monster Lover's March 2025 day 23 harpies. I have basically use the original harpies legends for the idea of my harpies characters.

The crow god Quiet sit in his chair as his four daughters Aellopus, Ocypete, Celaeno, and Podarge, whose have wings for their arms and the body and beautiful faces of their human mother, come back from their duties of eating the food of the seer Phineus to punished him. Quiet said to his daughters, "I'm glad that you girls have a nice meal, my daughters."

Taylor Swift has become the most influencial artist in modern history. Of course anyone who gets publicity is part of the establishment. I looked into her father Scott Kingsley Swift. His paternal ancestry traces back to Durham, England. Looks like a possible Knight Templar link.

Ding ding ding we have a winner. Traced all the way back to Thorfinn Rollo. England even has a school dedicated to the Knights Templars with the buck as their symbol matching Swift/White/Rollo. Here's another interesting factor. Swift/Haste/Ocypete/Harpy

"The Duke of Normandy aka William the Conqueror's lineage can be traced straight back to the dynasty which ruled the ancient Roman empire. The "Norman conquest" 1066 served to reinforce the myth that the Roman empire "fell".

Changing my url because I was gay-for-ocypete for nearly a decade. It's time to move on.
