Ye Ddraig Goch is a red dragon from celtic mythology. So for this one I looked at the dragon version of celtic knots and at steampunk type dragons. Once again if I had time I would push this MUCH farther… and make it feel more like steampunk. I like this project enough that after I spend the first week in May catching up I’m actually going to go through each one and finish it up. 😀
Month: April 2020

I could not find a god that started with X. SO here is Achilles’s horse 😀 I feel like I could’ve steam-punked this farther… but honestly horses are SUPER hard to draw and then to make them mechanical… I could do this justice if I had 8 hours to work on it, but as it worked out I only had 1… This like many others will be revisited and finished- someday.

I’m back! These past 2 weeks have been SO frustrating. First the iPad glitching out… and then… last week happened. The short of it is… our water main and our furnace have both broken.. basically 2 very expensive things to repair/replace… anyway- been dealing with ALL of that. Maybe next year I’ll actually be able to do the AtoZ Challenge without something coming up lol.
ANYWAY…
This is a Celtic Witch… or evil goddess… her name is Bean Nighe– and she’s super creepy. (Scottish Gaelic omen of death, basically the Scottish version of the Banshee) Had a hard time making this one truely steampunk- but Vampires are often in steampunk fiction, so I went with that.Thanks for coming by! I hope I can get caught up this week. Hopefully by the AtoZ review at the very least.

This week has been… irritating… basically there have been a lack of posts due to technical difficulties. I’m so apprecitative of everyone who has supported this project so far! Your comments have been so kind!!
The long version of events is that my iPad Pro started bugging out- not surprising it is a first generation iPad Pro. So I’ve been doing a TON of trouble shooting, combined with that the nibs on my apple pencil are old and need to be replaced. Let me tell you- these are super cheap, but since they are not considered ‘essential’ I won’t get a new one for probably another month.
Ah- you say- why don’t you just draw with pencil and paper? And yes my dear friend, I ABSOLUTELY can do that… but I have a lot of non- AtoZ Challenge art that I must do digitally… so I had to prioritize fixing my iPad over getting drawings out.
I did get it to a semblance of working- I can at least draw again. I wish I could afford to just replace it with a new model, but life is the way it is- maybe in a year I can. We’ll see.
SO Monday I’ll be posting again- and I’ll be doing my best to catch up on the ones I’ve missed.
Thank you SO much for stopping by! Enjoy the earlier posts if you are new 😀

My project is ‘steampunk-ish’ versions of gods and goddesses. At the very least I’m having fun attempting to pull both pantheons and steampunk together into one place. Not sure how successful each one is, but definitely fun 🙂
I’ve been enjoying this project so much, I hope that I have time to finish all of these sketches and get them to the point where they are finished paintings.

The goddess of magic and witchcraft. Since she normally is depicted holding torches I decided some lamps would be fun.

These three are the daughters of Zeus and Eurynome, at least according to one of the myths about Euynome.

This was a suggestion from Fantasy Write Guy. I didn’t know much about this particular mythological character and when I looked her up I was more confused. So then I headed over to his blog and read his post “Eh? What’s that?” Since he told me he’d be writing about her. It didn’t really clarify anything lol.
SO she’s more or less generic steampunk girl lol which is kinda my comfort zone so I didn’t mind.
Keep being creative!
