" "Why did you ascend to be a Lyctor?"
"Ultimate power-- and posters of my face."
Fair. "
-Harrow The Ninth by Tamsyn Muir
⸻
Ianthe Tridentarius Ianthe the First, Prince Ianthe Naberius; Lyctor, Eighth Saint to serve the King Undying, Tall Hot Glass of Skank. A girl who'd tell you she's gotten everything she ever wanted—and you'd almost believe her.
I thought of drawing her propaganda poster as a closer likeness, but decided it was funnier if it was obviously retouched to look more healthy and saintly.
(process pics from sketch to final artwork available to see on patreon! This one had a longer journey than some of my other illustrations.)

Drawing skeletons is goofy ahh
Ngl Ianthe is my fav character ever. The way she acts, totally careless of others but following some sort of fucked up plan she made, very girlboss of her. And also I LOVE how Muir potrays her, as a tall seraphic crazy lady thirsty of blood but yet very pale and weak. I haven’t read Nona the Ninth yet, I hope to see her again there.
Imagine a whole book abt her tho (delusional)

Ianthe might be my fav character in the series.
Cause like. What is this girl thinking?
How the fuck is her fatal flaw putting others before herself???? Because on all accounts she should be selfish.
Like she’s got 99 insane qualities but selfishness isn’t one of them????
We literally learn in book one she nearly died in the womb from lack of oxygen due to Coronabeth which damn near sums up their relationship.
She pretends to be a weaker necromancer so she can make it look like her sister is one.
I’m like 90% sure Coronabeth killed Naberius to take up the mantel of Cavalier primary but Ianthe (like a semi normal person) ate him instead of her sister.
And she fucking consistently covers her sisters ass. She outright defends her. She literally stabs Harrow in the hand for implying her sister is probably dead.
Hell when duplicitous sluts 1 and 2 “kill” Jod damning the nine houses both she and Gideon are the only two in the room who care about the innocent lives.
THEN she literally risks her own ass diving after Augustine (who’s fighting Jod alligator wrangling style) all the way to the freaking bottom of the river™️ with the literal mouth of hell trying to drag people in.
She makes the actual right choice of saving Jod aka not dooming the solar system to sun death. (Which once again Jod 100% did not care about her that much she had built the best rapport with Augustine)
But meanwhile this bitch is actually insane and off putting in a malnourished French quarter vampire way.
Anyway TL;DR I love Ianthe Naberius Tridentarius I want to study her for science.

I drew Ianthe of the third house. Maybe I should do her sister! I cant wait to see more of her in the second book, i'll soon tackle it! She is very fun to draw how smarmy she is!
