Description

So... this didnt turn out like I wanted it to XD As usual really ;p

the background was going to be more oppressing, but then some stuff wouldnt stand out... so I thought hey. Ill do sky. The Moirae are meant to be more powerful than the gods anyway, it fits they would be higher up XD Plus the appearance of freedom would be ironic. YAY IRONY HURRRR


Anyway, I believe this picture needs some explaining the Moirae (aka the Fates) are three sisters from Greek mythology, and pretty much control your life.

Clotho</b> (the green one in this picture)
The youngest. She spun the thread of life, thus creating... life? XD Thats why I made her green in this picture, the color of life. Or so people say XD Also why there are planty ivy type things coming form her.

Lachesis (at the bottom)
The middle child. She measured out how long the thread of life will be, and pretty much decided your fate. She was sometimes seen as "motherly", but usually always stern as well. Ive drawn her here draping that rich purple and gold embriodered cloth over the girl, because of both reasons XD

Atropos (to the right)
The eldest, and "relentless one". She cut the life of thread with her "abhorred shears" (translation: Scary scissors of literal death). You cant see it that well here, but I made it look more like a stabby dagger, coz that looks so much better than someone with little craft scissors.


I think *strange-shadow is doing a lineart from the sketch I sent her, and coloring it also ^w^ So keep an eye out for that one ;p
Thin lineart she did: [link]

Moirae are the ones who cut strings of life, right? Anyway if it is, it's SO MUCH BETTER LOOKING THAN IN CLASH OF THE TITANS!!
