11) Pick your favorite mythological figure and create two designs for them: one that’s as historically accurate to their time period and culture as possible, and another that takes as many artistic liberties as you want (this could a modern AU, something in your typical style, etc.).
I probably should have done Persephone, going by mythological figures rather than species, but I decided against that and went in favour of the Grecian Sphinx.
The “historically accurate” one probably doesn’t look too accurate, but that’s due to my sudden “how the fuck does this creature dress itself” moment. That kind of ended up being the theme throughout. I decided to give them sort of Lion King style paws that kind of act like hands, but they still wouldn’t be terrifically dexterous. And that’s not even getting at the wings.
I kinda want to write a short story from the modern Sphinx girl’s perspective, about how she’s annoyed with things that require or are much easier for bipedal creatures that have hands, because everything’s designed for humans not creatures. I think it might be interesting to write, once I’m done with the challenge.
