#ankhiale

I finally drew my Ankhiale design!

Since her name meant “hidden flame”, the kinetic energy within wood, I thought that fire archery would fit her. Because she’s relevant to the Cilicia region of Asia Minor (for example the historic city Anchiale), I gave her Neo Assyrian, Hittite, Scythian, and Trojan influences. I like to imagine her as a mounted archer as well… maybe her mount is a bull to accommodate her large size.

She’s also known as the mother of satyrs so I imagine that Prometheus’ satyr legions were supplied by Ankhiale with the bigger goal of eventually freeing and reuniting their brothers (no, she didn’t give birth to the satyrs LMAO, she’s just a really important Goddess of theirs).

In my headcanon, Ankhiale is the oldest of the Iapetides but also a half sister, sired by a young Iapetus when he was having adventures and hooking up with random nymphs. She didn’t fight during the Titanomachy because she doesn’t know her half brothers anyway, nor do her half brothers nor father know her. It’s nice to imagine Ankhiale and Prometheus fighting together though… maybe Ankhiale despises Olympus for being why she never knew her siblings.

ATLAS ATTEMPT

Atlas: It seems that this is the trending fashion with the girls, at least that's what my daughters said

Prometheus: Average

Epimetheus: I think it's suits her

Menoetius: Not that bad but definitely not as good as what I'm gonna make

MENOETIUS ATTEMPT

Prometheus: it's too mature

Epimetheus: I think it looks good

Atlas: That's just the make up you do on yourself!

Menoetius: well there is nothing wrong with that!

EPIMETEHEUS ATTEMPT

Epimetheus: WHAT DO YOU MEAN 3?!

Prometheus: You went off the rail

Atlas: He is right but I think the execution is well done

Epimetheus:At least you are with me AT!

Menoetius: Prometheus is kind of right

Epimetheus:If he is so right let's see what he does!

PROMETHEUS ATTEMPT

Menoetius: WHAT IS THAT???

Prometheus:My attempt at makeup of course, it's been a while since I've painted last so I might be a bit rusty

Epimetheus:Oh sweet baby Zeus... You are not rusty you are corroding bro...

Atlas:You made her look like Hera in the worst way possible ... that's a talent on it's own

ATTEMPT #2

Prometheus:So ill faithed, but I've seen that hate coming from a mile away, let's retry...

Ankhiale: This looks so good!
