@classicstober.bsky.social Day 3: The Graeae.

Daughters of the sea gods Phorcys and Ceto and sisters of the Gorgons. They were said to personify the white foam of the sea and were described as being born old and “swan-bodied”.

The second volume for @singomusezine.bsky.social, Chthonic Visions, is out today so I thought I would post my contribution. I illustrated Medea, inspired by the fragments from the play "The Root-Cutters" by Sophocles.

Very much so. He's giving pathetic Don Draper realness.

You did such beautiful work on this, Katrin! I love how all of the designs feel authentic and each god is recognizable with their own symbols and attributes.

Eileithiya the Greek goddess of childbirth. Not much is given to her description or symbolic associations in ancient writing and art, so I leaned into the practice of midwifery to make her design feel more meaningful.

The Marvel Swimsuit Special is back today after decades! I was super into comics as a kid & for some reason I loved seeing my favorite comic characters lounging in swimsuit versions of their costumes. Here's a piece I did last year of Cyclops & Wolverine that definitely captures that spirit.

Khonsu is an Ancient Egyptian god of the moon. In the Cannibal Hymn, Khonsu disembowels other gods and provides their end-trails to the deceased pharaoh so that he may gain their immortality.

He is often depicted as either falcon-headed or a mummified child so I decided to split the difference.
