i’ve been thinking abt potentially redesigning eithereia which lowkey pains me bc she was the first deity i ever designed for invisible.. but also it is painfully obvious that she was the first one i designed LOL
my style for drawing the deities at first was originally focused on the fact that they appear like silhouettes with no real defined shapes..... but then i realized that then they look 2D, when they’re still supposed to be 3 dimensional shapes..? so i started a new style for them, which is still like primarily silhouette-looking, but with just enough shading to give the hint that they’re 3 dimensional shapes
... the problem with that, is that the deities i’ve drawn with that new style, all have short hair, which really aids in creating that Hint Of 3D...... bc ur actually able to see the shape of their “body”.....
but eithereia..... her hair is so long, that the whole silhouette idea means that u literally cannot see her body so she really does look like an amorphous blob when it’s not even intentional..... and even with my new style for drawing the deities, i don’t think anything can make up for the fact that her hair is just. so long and poofy LMAO
and even then its like.. perhaps i can make her hair more naturally curly but idk how to preserve the iconic curls she already has while translating them to be like, actually 3 dimensional curls? bc her current design literally only works when viewed as 2D face on LMAO
so either i need to find a more realistic curl pattern , somehow, or i should maybe try and see how she’d look with shorter hair, but it’s just so. ;_; bc that was the most fun and iconic thing abt her but it just does not work in an actual three dimensional space and its killing me LOL
