Halcyone (1915) by Herbert James Draper (1863-1920). IN BRIEF: (1) Zeus destroyed her husband's ship with a thunderbolt (2) The horrified Halcyone drowned herself (3) Out of compassion the gods changed both of them into kingfishers, or "halcyon birds".

The dark and tattered draperies...rustled uneasily about the decorations of the bed...An irrepressible tremor gradually pervaded my frame; and, at length, there sat upon my very heart an incubus of utterly causeless alarm.

—Poe, died 1849

It's been awhile, costumed life drawing! Thanks for reminding me that I suck at draperies. Still really fun though! Thanks and Wei Wu for putting it together!

This weekend I had some time to sit and redesign Ardyn’s healer wear. He deserved to look better than a dirty potato sack!

(Both images are the same outfit, but one has additional drapery to style up like a hood)

Sankara cover art done by ey

This cover came out beautifully. Sankara’s link to water and Orcas is important and Nikolas A. Draper-Ivey keeps that at the forefront.
