If you’re still taking redline requests, could you please redline Artemis’ final ascension art?

I went in not knowing what Artemis’s ascensions looked like, and now I know hell. The worst part for me is not knowing exactly where her hand was though. The lantern (??) thing made it really hard to understand what the hell was going on with her. Her body reminds me of when I draw when Im lying down at an angle, and when I sit up, it looks super skewed and unproportional

Had a good giggle at Orion though 

redlines under the cut

Welcome to another ‘Lostbelt 5 Primer’! In this ‘Chaldea Theatre’, we’ll be tackling the story of Orion and Artemis! This story was submitted by user ‘crownpiratemax’.

The story of Orion isn’t incredibly heroic, or very long. He’s a character without much history or past, appearing occasionally in a number of ancient Greek works, but seemed to have been more prominent within oral storytelling rather than written storytelling, so most of the knowledge we have is sparse.

The narrative of Fate Grand Order itself tries to add more context to the relationship between the giant and the moon goddess within the confines of Lostbelt 5, however- so knowing their legend is a must for tackling that story chapter.

So, without further ado, we present...

‘Orion’

Although Orion was a giant, he was handsome. He was also not as cruel as some other giants, and worked closely with both humans and gods.

Orion, according to some of the most popular accounts, served in the court of King Oenopion of Chios. He was a skilled hunter who served the king well.

Orion fell in love with the king’s daughter, Merope. He repeatedly asked Oenopion for permission to marry her, but each time the king put off the request.

The giant huntsman hoped to woo the girl by bringing her spoils from his hunt. He brought her so much meat and furs that the land was soon entirely stripped of its wildlife.

Oenopion still would not take Orion’s proposal seriously, however.

One night after drinking too much wine, Orion forced his way into the princess’s private rooms. The king was furious when he found out and vowed to exact revenge on the giant.

King Oenopion called on Dionysus for assistance. The god of wine used his powers to send Orion into a deep sleep, giving Oenopion an opportunity to blind him.

Blinded and in exile, Orion wandered Greece. Eventually, an oracle told him that he could regain his sight if he traveled to the east and exposed his eyes to the rays of the rising sun.

Orion was blindly working his way east when he heard the sound of a hammer cracking on metal. He followed it to Lemnos, where he found the forge of Hephaestus.

The smith god heard Orion’s story and, as a fellow exile, had sympathy for him. He gave him Cadalion, his servant, to guide him to the rising sun.

Cadalion rode on Orion’s shoulders and together they made their way as far east as was possible. Helios healed him and Orion returned to Greece.

He first went to Chios, hoping to seek vengeance. Oenopion was nowhere to be found, however. He had hidden in a bronze chamber underground to escape the giant.

Orion next went to Crete where, some people said, his mother lived. There he met Artemis and joined her hunting party.

And a short while later Artemis herself fell in love with Orion.

The goddess of the hunt had taken a vow of chastity, but seemed to be tempted to break her vow and marry her hunting companion.

Apollo, the Sun God and her elder brother, did not permit it. Apollo was aware of the nature of “it can’t be helped” belonging to the man named Orion. But Artemis did not lend her ear to Apollo’s warning. So Apollo drafted a plan, perceiving from afar Orion, who was swimming, and provoked Artemis by saying “aim and bring down that scoundrel named Candaon.” 

Naturally, Artemis aimed at the head of Orion—and magnificently shot through him. The next day, Artemis became aware of his death and grieved. She attempted to restore him back to life, but it was not granted. Inevitably, he was ascended to the sky and became a celestial body.
