Euterpe’s new sheet is done and with that, all nine Muses have gotten a new sheet! She mostly got a revamped outfit, although I did fix up her hair a bit, too. I like her new outfit, I think it suits her much better than the old one. I got to have fun with the patterns and filled out her figure a bit. This is definitely way closer to the Euterpe I see in my head when I picture her.
The rock and roll lean to her outfit is largely because it’s a style that I love, and because Euterpe only seemed to start cooperating with me when I started drawing her with a more rebellious style. She was the last Muse I designed initially because every time I initially tried to lean more into opera costumes with her, it just didn’t work. I had to start having fun and thinking about the music I love listening to, to really get her design.
My Euterpe is Latina because I associate music with my mom’s side of the family, the Latine side. My grandfather was a Mariachi and could play just about any instrument, always teaching himself anything he could get his hands on. One of my cousins is absolutely amazing at guitar and I brag about her at every opportunity. Spanish guitar still makes me feel so, so nostalgic.
