Another redesign for @creatingblackcharacters 's latest DTIYS challenge! This time its Aphrodite, I was super excited!!
To start I gave her a shimmery kind of robe with some matching sleeves, adorned in enchanted gold (everything she touches is enchanted tbh). Not because I think her being naked is wrong or anything, she deserves a cool outfit too :^)
The wing was modeled as a Goose' wing, but can also be seen with a swan's wing both a symbol of Aphrodite (also doves and sparrows if I have it right!)
I gave her hair a more intense shade and I like to think her curls naturally grow in a heart shape that would be so cute! It would be really cool to if her hair floated around, it would add to her ethereal affect!
I've seen so many skinny depictions of Aphrodite, I need to see more where she's got some fat on her LIKE SHES THE GODDESS OF LOVE LET HER HAVE LOVE HANDLES!! Also gave her a soft, round/heart-shaped face!
Seashells are another symbol of hers, so I gave her a pauldron and some adornments made from seashells!!
I liked the makeup thing she had going on, though I played around with some different colors and really liked the pink in addition!
Her pupils are heart-shaped and a sparkly glow!
It's a bit difficult to figure out what kind of flowers the og design was using, but myrtles and roses are her associated flowers, so I reworked her headdress with those in mind, also I feel like she would hand-make her headdress!
Lastly I gave her an overall glittery-ness! I feel like no matter where she is and the lighting situation is, she's just always emitting a soft, charming glow that sparkles!
I was going to include her shield and spear, but I ran out of steam before I could get to them. But she does have them still I promise :^) I had lots of fun doing this one!!
