#15 - Lachesis & Atropos Trace
Apr 29, 2024
Trace of Lachesis & Atropos, the Fates (Moirai) of the measure of life and death. Although there's a number of more modern renditions of the two (modern as in Renaissance or later) it was hard to find earlier of both (guess people don't like to think about their time being alotted and then ended). Although I *did* after a chunk of hunting online, found a picture of Lachesis on an old Greek coin... and get this, she's looking buff and sitting on a freakin' giant skull. So yea, so many newer imagry she's "generic middle-aged woman", but the oldest I can find, she's suddenly totally punk and ripped with butch vibes, so yea, that's staying.
Atropos on the other hand, modern media generally makes her look like an old hag, but going in the older artwork brings out a different view. They're all seamstresses of a sort, dealing with the most valuable fabric of all - threads of life. And the older you go, the more stylin' Atropos got. Like Death often is, she is dramatic, she's got style, and she totally comes off as this fashionista Grandma. On top of that... in some of the renaissance pieces, her hair's in dreadlocks.
So yea, Punk Lachesis and Fashion-Grandma with dreads Atropos.
You can bet those traits are sticking in my re-draw.
