Anna Podedworna is an incredibly talented concept artist and illustrator who has worked on some of the biggest properties in the fantasy genre. From Dota 2 to Dungeons & Dragons, she has a knack for bringing fantastical worlds to life. Most recently, she has been involved in the creation of the upcoming Joker 2 movie. Given her impressive portfolio and experience, it was a no-brainer to bring her on board for the Ultra Limited trilogy event.
For this event, Anna chose to focus on the concept of the Moirai, also known as the Fates, from Greek mythology. These three sisters were responsible for ensuring that every living being fulfilled their predetermined destiny. Anna was drawn to this theme as it embodies the fundamental principles of destiny and the universal laws governing our existence.
In her artwork, Anna wanted to create a visual narrative that seamlessly connects each piece together. She achieved this by incorporating a golden thread that runs throughout all three paintings, symbolizing the Fates’ divine duty. Each painting can stand alone as a separate work of art, but when viewed together, they create a harmonious transition.
The first painting in the series features Lachesis, the meticulous measurer of the thread of life. Anna wanted to portray Lachesis amidst a backdrop of captivating Greek mythological creatures, symbolizing the ever-changing nature of existence. She incorporated waves into the composition to represent the constant ebb and flow of life. Lachesis herself is depicted in a golden dress, conveying her divinity and power.
As Anna continues working on the remaining two artworks featuring the other Moirai sisters, Clotho and Atropos, she is excited to share their interpretations with the world. These paintings will also feature mythical creatures, further enriching the narrative and captivating the audience’s imagination. Through her art, Anna hopes to explore the intricacies of destiny and the mesmerizing world of Greek mythology.
In order to elevate Lachesis to modern classic status, the artwork was entrusted to the Design Studio for finishing touches. The team worked closely with Anna to observe and influence the design, while still allowing her full creative freedom. The upgrades focused on making Lachesis as glamorous as possible, with attention to details like her bright eyes and dynamic dress. The ferocious Hydra lurking behind her was enhanced with sleek lines and a glossy varnish. Golden glitter was used on Lachesis’ dress, skin, and hair to make her a stylish lady. While the upgrades were made, the “messy” strokes were retained to preserve Anna’s artistic vision and dynamism.
The Ultra Limited Edition of Lachesis is a highly collectible piece, with only 300 copies available. The artwork features 3D-printed textures, golden glitter, and a glossy Hydra, showcasing the incredible craftsmanship and attention to detail. It is the first installment of the Moirai trilogy, a must-have for any art enthusiast.
This is a limited-time opportunity, so seize the moment and add a piece of destiny to your collection. Don’t tempt fate, grab your copy of Lachesis (1 of 3) and embark on this mesmerizing journey into Greek mythology through art.
