☁️Polymele sketches!!☁️
For anyone who doesn't know who Polymele is:
Polymele is one of the Aeolides, the children of Aeolus. According to the odyssey, she happily lived on the island of Aeolia, where Odysseus and his crew arrived during their journey home from Troy. She doesn't have an important role in this source.
However, in Parthenius of Nicaea’s version of her story, Polymele fell in love with Odysseus during his stay on Aeolia and became his lover in secret. When Odysseus departed, he left her with spoils from Troy, but her father, Aeolus, discovered her grief and was furious, and was about to put her to death, but her brother Diores, who was in love with her, intervened, and the two were allowed to marry.
Design notes for her.
When I have the time, I will draw her with color, overall, her main colors are white, blue, red and yellow.
I wanted to make her have a cloud-like body, ofc. I suppose she’s technically a demigoddess?
I wanted to also put her in Minoan clothes (just less boobs n stuff.)
