Old Calliope design vs new Calliope design! Here she is, the eldest muse, the big sister, the head bitch in charge.
My interpretation of the Muses has involved bringing in other races and ethnicities, but Calliope is my Muse that is actually Greek. I don’t think I had settled on her being Greek when I did her old design, so I tried to bring in more Greek influences in the new one.
Her hair is a bit more based on old Greek styles and I tried to invoke old Greek sandals in the laces on her shoes. You also can’t really see with the size of the image, but I tried giving her more of a Greek nose!
I reused the bird line art from her old sheet because I still think it works. For backstory reasons, she can shape-shift into the bird when necessary.
