Josie and Lamma from my story Yemaja.

They don't normally look like this. They just look like what they think is coolest in the latter half of the story, an idealized fighting game world.

#josie #lamma #josie has a high skill execution barrier not because she is technically skilled #but because she as a character would not be able to execute them.#lamma on the other hand is a character that is played better if you actually try reading people a la reading the play in sports #but she's so convinced she's lebron she doesn't initially present that way #yemaja

From the House of Yemanjá

By Audre Lorde

My mother had two faces and a frying pot where she cooked up her daughters into girls before she fixed our dinner. My mother had two faces and a broken pot where she hid out a perfect daughter who was not me I am the sun and moon and forever hungry for her eyes. I bear two women upon my back one dark and rich and hidden in the ivory hungers of the other mother pale as a witch yet steady and familiar brings me bread and terror in my sleep her breasts are huge exciting anchors in the midnight storm. All this has been before in my mother's bed time has no sense I have no brothers and my sisters are cruel. Mother I need mother I need mother I need your blackness now as the august earth needs rain. I am the sun and moon and forever hungry the sharpened edge where day and night shall meet and not be one.

Artist trading cards, all done for Perna Studios’ Classic Mythology III: Goddesses card set. I’ve been super grad-school busy, but I HAD to get in on this set because deity art is legit one of my favorite things to do.

From top to bottom: Artemis and Chthonic Persephone diptych (to note: I used Jei and Razer as my muses for these because let’s be honest I’m pretty obsessed with them right now) Yemaja and Morgan Le Fay Amaterasu Omikami and Benzaiten Elen of the Leys, Blodeuwedd, and Ceridwen Isis and Nut
