It’s day 31 of #mythober !!!! Today’s prompt is “your favorite myth” I just went with one I didn’t wanna put on the list because I like my career in the non over state lol. So the one I picked was Lilith 🐍 In Genesis Lilith was the first woman, created from the same clay as Adam, but she refused to be subservient to him so she got cast out of Eden and God made Adam a new wife this time from one of his ribs. And I’m sure you all know how the rest of that worked out. Funny how that little part in the beginning somehow did not get mentioned neither in the catholic school I went to nor church. And if you’re mad at this I would like to point out that fun fact I did not write Genesis 🤷🏻‍♀️ 🐍Sharing this gives you a chance to win 100$ of art supplies 🐍 (at Saint Kitts and Nevis) https://www.instagram.com/p/CI3UYEGpBkZ/?igshid=qxybtklb2jd

It’s day 30 of #mythober : Medusa 🐍 I’m sure everyone knows this one so I don’t need to write the story here. For the book I picked a version of the story that could be interpreted as somewhat more feministy I guess. I’m only mentioning this because I was thinking about how sensitive people are about hearing more feministy versions of stories as if most of these myths hadn’t been heavily edited by monks that thought women were the cause of all evil 😆 Like yeah all these stories are not what they originally were and 10000 versions exist. I’m pretty damn sure the women in Ancient Greece weren’t telling their daughters the version of pandora where she’s the devil nor the version of Medusa where her relationship with Poseidon wasn’t consensual. The way I picked the versions of the myths included in the book was by thinking “if I was an Ancient Greek mother how would I tell this story to my kids in a way that they would learn something from the story?” Because stories don’t just exist in a void, they are a reflection of the society they are created in and they exist to give you life advice. Anyways sorry about the rant I don’t know if that makes sense 😆 (at Saint Kitts and Nevis) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIvmv8uJ-QT/?igshid=7wetexs512mz

It’s day 29 of #mythober ! So only 2 more days to go!!! Today’s prompt is Aphrodite the goddess of love, beauty, pleasure, passion and sometimes war. She’s a cotton candy princess and the most ruthless punisher in all of Greek mythology. I didn’t get a proper #wip of this one because I didn’t know wtf I was doing, so you get a detail from later on in the process. I always think damn I should paint more flowers and then I do it and realize it takes me 1 hour to fully render a single rose 😂 I was fully using this one to procrastinate on day 28 so yeah it’s been more than one day of work. 💗Sharing this gives you a chance to win 100$ of art supplies 💗 (at Saint Kitts and Nevis) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIqaPk_Jxrk/?igshid=o3j3lq2xcykr

Iiits my birthday today!!!! 🎂🎉🥳🎈🎊🎁 Yayyy I’m turning 23 so feel free to wish me happy birthday in the comments 😄 Boy has the year gone by fast but also super slow haha Making special paint for day 28 of #mythober !! I know I really wanted to be done with Mythober before my birthday but here we are 😅 I’ll post the features and the winner for the Mythober contest within the next 10 days. But I will keep the giveaway going until I post the finished piece for day 31 !!! So you can still enter! (at Saint Kitts and Nevis) https://www.instagram.com/p/CITTOhJpeX4/?igshid=19ccb1o6h3ybd

It’s day 28 of #mythober and I’m trying claw my way out of art block 🙈 Today’s prompt is Pygmalion he was a king and a sculptor who fell in love with one of his sculptures. He prayed to Aphrodite to have her come to life and Aphrodite granted his wish and they apparently lived happily ever after. So the moral is I guess you can marry objects with no negative consequences 🤷🏻‍♀️ What color do you think i should use for this? I’m not just being silly I’m actually looking for suggestions 😅 ✨Sharing this gives you a chance to win 100$ of art supplies ✨ (at Saint Kitts and Nevis) https://www.instagram.com/p/CII8rMnJ6bW/?igshid=z5gwvzudid5g

It’s day 27 of #mythober Boy does this feel like the longest 27 days of my life Probably because it’s been 55 But is been long for even 55 days. Fun fact I started this whole challenge because I grew overwhelmed with all the snobby art world bs and have been pretty burnt out for the last two years. And I had grown kinda disillusioned with art and didn’t really know which direction to go. So I thought I’d go back to why I initially got interested in art. I had this illustrated book of myths that I got when I was 8 (so 15 years ago) which had this drawing of Circe that captivated me. And I dragged that book to every single art class begging my teacher to teach me how to draw like that. And now I’ve finally learned so yay 😄 🧙‍♀️ Sharing this gives you a chance to win 100$ of art supplies 🧙‍♀️ (at Saint Kitts and Nevis) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIBNsLZpUiB/?igshid=t1ez6fqhzr8b

It’s day 27 of #mythober Today’s prompt is Circe 🪄 Still a #wip since someone made it too complicated (hint hint it’s me) I’m quite excited about finally getting some mileage out of all the markers I’ve been collecting over the years. So that’s nice I’ll be posting the finished version of this tomorrow so stay tuned ✨ 🪄Sharing this gives you a chance to win 100$ of art supplies 🪄 (at Saint Kitts and Nevis) https://www.instagram.com/p/CH-oWQwJvax/?igshid=1se06ovvhpudj

It’s day 27 of #mythober ✨ Today’s prompt is Circe 🪄 I was trying to do something fairly simple because I’ve been very much falling behind at this point in the challenge. So I consulted both of my brain cells and they both thought it was a great idea to do the most complex thing I could imagine 🙃 Thanks brain 🙃 Anyways Circe was a witch in Greek mythology. She lived alone on her own island (goals) And she was renowned for her vast knowledge of potions and herbs (goals) Sometimes sailors would stop by her island and she would invite them to her castle to have dinner and conversation, if the man was interesting she’d sleep with him, and if he wasn’t or in any other way displeased her she’d turn them into a pig (#goals) 🪄Sharing this gives you a chance to win 100$ of art supplies 🪄 (at Saint Kitts and Nevis) https://www.instagram.com/p/CH8HvFzJ0QQ/?igshid=e3am8zsadizh

It’s day 26 of #mythober ✨ Today’s prompt is Io 🐄 Since she’s a lady that gets turned into a cow I wanted this one to have a pastoral feel, which isn’t really what I’m used to doing but it was very interesting to challenge myself with this one Like always I wrote the story in my last post so go check that one out ✨ 🐄Sharing this gives you a chance to win 100$ of art supplies🐄 (at Saint Kitts and Nevis) https://www.instagram.com/p/CH5o5iwpbhL/?igshid=1ryyjmt13l9pm

It’s day 26 of #mythober 🐮✨ Today’s prompt is Io 🐮 She was one of the mortal lovers of Zeus, who got turned into a cow by him in order to conceal her from his wife Hera. Hera of course is suspicious and asks Zeus if she can have the cow and then locks her under the watchful gaze of Argus, who is a gigant with 99 eyes. Zeus feels bad about the whole thing and sends Hermes to go save her. Hermes accomplishes this by boring Argus to death talking about pan pipes. Hera is mad that Io escaped and sends a fury to chase her all around the Mediterranean for years to come, she gives birth many times along the way and thus becomes the ancestor for many many important Greek kings and heroes. Eventually Hera forgives her and calls back the fury and turns her back to human and she gets a happy ever after marrying an Egyptian king 👑✨ The main takeaway from this story is that gods enjoy toying with the lives of humans for no good reason. I find this interesting because it does a nifty job of explaining why bad things happen to good people that seems to be missing from a lot of other religions 🤷🏻‍♀️ 🐄Sharing this gives you a chance to win 100$ of art supplies 🐄 (at Saint Kitts and Nevis) https://www.instagram.com/p/CH3ATwFJT--/?igshid=1ronutpf0eakf
