Really happy with how she turned out! I decided to give her some naiad features, inspired by this post and it was really fun! I hc that she can breathe underwater (even though she doesn't have gills. Do naiads have gills?), although I am not sure if she can do it freely or for a limited amount of time 🤔
The fabric piece covering her chest was loosely inspired by 18th century neckerchiefs, because I wasn't sure how the Mycenaean open chest fashion would fly with the censorship here or on other platforms ¯\_(• ▽ •;)_/¯
#I can leave comments and reblog posts again#yay#the odyssey#tagamemnon#penelope#character design#my art tag#I hc that she took over Odysseus' duties while he was away and got to be a reigning queen for about 10-13 years#until the suitors took over. It's a pretty long rant and I can't fit it into tags#this is her design before that#her being a ruler wouldn't really have been possible by Homer's time because of how the ancient Greece treated women#but since the story was set in Mycenaean Greece... maybe? Just maybe she could have enough authority for the assembly to take her seriously#epic the musical#epic the musical fanart#greek mythology#maybe this hc would change as I learn more things about history#but for now it's here ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
