Lament of Icarus

3 long months of toiling on and off on this Neoclassicist master study by the majestic Herbert James Draper. Have always wanted to make this tribute piece ever since Icarus was announced but was derailed by a roller coaster of life and emotions up until this year. Then, I visited Monet's exhibition and it reminded me why I love and found art fascinating in the first place. Still dk if it's worth the amount of time spent lmfao but I can say I'm very satisfied with how it turn out. Learnt a couple things from him heh.

“ I'd give my heart, give my soul

I'd turn it back, it's my fault

Your destiny is forlorn

Have to live 'til it's undone

I'd give my heart, give my soul

I'd turn it back and then at last I'll be on my way “

this songs always reminded me of them so i wanted to do a lil thang for it

linework under the cut

"My name is Cytherea the First.” She said. “Lyctor of the Great Resurrection, the seventh saint to serve the King Undying. I am a necromancer and I am a cavalier. I am the vengeance of the ten billion. I have come back home to kill the Emperor and burn his Houses. And Gideon the Ninth… This begins with you.”

Damn Jod really pissed off all the baddies didn’t he?

My theatre currently has this amazing set up on stage, and when I saw it I immediately thought of the 7th house, so I speed built the seafoam robe in three days 😂 Cytherea’s name is a call back to Aphrodite and the birth of Venus so I added shell and pearl elements to the cos and I think it turned out well! The nightgown is a replica of Lucille Sharpe’s from Crimson Peak that I made for Halloween last year but didn’t get to wear, maybe this year!

This was a self shoot so the angles are kinda bland but I think the set more than makes up for it; I just wish I knew how to run the light board so I could have had some of the cool stage lights up but it is what it is!
