Daily sketch: Corrin with my favorite felt-tip pen. I gave her a flower instead of her barrette because I think it looks cuter. My first time drawing F!Corrin.

@classicstober day 6: The Moirai aka. the Fates. Three goddesses feared by mortal and immortal alike. Clotho, who spun the thread of fate. Lachesis, who allotted each mortal their length of time on this plane of existence. And Atropos, whose dread shears cut each thread.

Sometimes the fates are depicted as beautiful goddesses, other times they are a trio of crones, in more modern depictions, it has become popular to depict them in the neopagan style of maiden, mother, and crone. I chose to give them theatrical masks to diversify them as well as give them a more mysterious appearance. For my design I imagine their faces, as well as the fates they deal in are unknowable to all… Even the other gods.

I believe in the maiden, mother, crone dynamic, Clotho is often depicted as the younger fate since she is first in the order. But In Plato’s “Republic” it is says that “Lachesis sing[s] the things that were, Clotho the things that are, and Atropos the things that are to be” so I gave Lachesis the younger looking mask and style of dress.
