Gaia, the personification of the earth and the ancestral mother of all life. Born at the dawn of creation, Gaia is a primordial goddess. Her worship was universal in Ancient Greece. Gaia was regarded as one of the most important deities, as she was credited with birthing many of the other heavenly gods and beings. She had the unique ability to create life using only her powers, no men needed! Talk about girl power. She was often depicted in ancient art as a curvy woman, usually dressed in green robes. I decided to keep these details in mind as I designed her, making her plus sized! In many cultures, plump body types were seen as symbols of fertility and wealth. I adore the idea of a plus sized goddess, and I think that the idea suits Gaia very well! I’ve always imagined Mother Nature to be curvy. I also believe that it would’ve been a crime to not make her green! I gave her a beauty mark as well because for some reason I feel like it suits her! Now, onto some more info about her in mythology... Gaia had no tolerance for cruel family members, and was known to have conflicted with many other deities. She was a very complex goddess at that, which is why I find her so fascinating!

Selene, the Titan goddess of the moon! I was super excited to create her, I always have a lot of fun with cosmic related edits! I also wanted to design her to go with Eos, which is her sister. The Helios, Eos and Selene sibling trio is so powerful! Anyways, if you aren’t familiar with her, you know the drill! Here’s a little information on Selene! Selene is said to be beautiful like her sister, with long flowing hair and a lunar sphere or crescent crown above her head. I made sure to give her super long hair because I LOVE editing it! I gave her the crescent moon tiara because I wanted her to have a defining feature, similar to the wings on my Eos design! I couldn’t resist giving her white eyelashes and hair, I think it’s the perfect contrast to her galaxy skin tone! I also gave her light eyes to match. Now onto some information on her story! There are many goddesses and deities in Greek Mythology associated with the moon, but Selene was set apart by old Greek poets as the personification of the moon. (As opposed to a goddess of the moon, she was regarded AS the moon!) She had the power to light up the night sky with her moon chariot and had the ability to put people to sleep, similar to Hypnos. It’s also said that she had control over time, but that part is a little fuzzy. She never married, she just had many lovers, which I always thought was very interesting. Selene is often associated with one of these lovers, Endymion! It is said that with him, she bore 50 daughters!

[Loretober - Duality/Reflection] Reflecting isn’t just physical it’s mentally there as well. I tried my best to showcase a reflection look of, “Is this what I want?”. Like I always say I want the viewer to always take what they want from my art, but today’s is a bit different. With Zeus’ hands holding his crown, I want the sense that this is something he thinks back on a lot, an old memory he wishes he could change perhaps? Until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore, you will not know the terror of being forever lost at sea.

My reaction towards Zeus:
