Nyx was the ancient Greek goddess of the Night, the mother of the Fates, Hemera, Thanatos, and the Hesperides and more, she was a goddess so old and powerful that even Zeus feared her. On an artistic note, I realize that I didn't do a hot job on the contrast between the background and Nyx, but that was because I wanted to make it seem like she was the night. In the beginning I thought of making it so that it would appear that she was vanishing into the sky but ditched the idea because that would mean not being able to do hair Do consider looking up this fascinating this goddess, some really interesting stuff
