Of course, Princess Minerva will always be my liege and foremost in my thoughts... 💚🏮

Brave Palla adorned in the attire of a queen of Macedon, just like Minerva. Thank you to @labmemb3r on twitter for the c/mmission!

what are your thoughts about Arachne?

🎶 She had coming! She had coming! She only has herself to blame!🎶

But seriously tho Athena gave her a way out to apologize and live her life in peace which is very unusual in mythology bc if someone boasts about being better than a god in something they get punished immediately. Plus Athena literally taught her weaving to begin with and Arachne has the audacity to DENY this. Imagine disrespecting the one person who is the reason for your talent and success.

What little I have to offer, I will always dedicate to service at Princess Minerva's side.

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!

Pallas Athena and the Herdsman's Dogs by Briton Rivière

Then drew she nigh, in shape a stately dame,

Graced with all noble gifts of womanhood:

None save Odysseus saw her; for to few

Of mortal birth the gods reveal themselves.

But the dogs knew her coming, and with whine

And whimpering crouched aloof.

Minerva and Palla are so married I love them so much. The Whitewings in general are fantastic, they're all such good characters and I love imagining them all hanging out and being a big family after Minerva and Palla get married. Also Palla and Minerva teaching Maria to fly fjfjdkdmdmdndn they're so adorableeeeeeeeee ;-; Maria can actually become a tome wielding Dracoknight in Cipher and that's SO cool! I'm so glad that I played Shadow Dragon so I could experience this little corner of the series. Anyways here's some Cipher art of the Whitewings enjoying a festival and also Dracoknight Maria ^_^
