Description Clio, the Muse of History.

See the other Muses:
Calliope - Clio - Erato
Polyhymnia - Melpomene - Thalia
Urania - Terpsichore - Euterpe

She wound up taking a lot longer than she should have because a bunch of things kept going wrong for the past two weeks. I would have liked to have finished her last weekend but here we are now. Gonna try to really get the next one out quickly so I don't fall too far behind.

Clio and the other Muses appear in my Rise of the Guardians fanfic. I am designing them and working on them independently of this universe, however, as an assignment for one of my classes.

Anyway, as the Muse of History, Clio has the ability to travel through time. The only catch is that she can't go any further forward than the latest moment she, herself, has experienced. So, essentially, she can't go into the future, only the past. Most of the time she only visits and observes, but sometimes she's required to look into situations in the past to help solve problems in the present. She's also great at inspiring historical fiction.

Clio is something of an inventor/craftsman, and spends a lot of her time working on designs from old Renaissance masters. She travels by a set of wings based on Leonardo da Vinci's designs (but I have not drawn them out yet, that will have to be a separate sheet for a separate time).

Her design was really tedious between all her ringlets in her hair and all the stripes in her outfit. I also had to make a few custom shapes for all the gears on her corset. But I think the sort of steam punk inspired look really works for her and I'm happy with how she came out.

Can I just ask something? I've been through all of the Muses (and loved every single one of them, especially Euterpe) and noticed that most of them had a circle and a dot in the middle somewhere on their person. Like on the back of Euterpe's vest and Thalia's choker. I was just wondering if there was any special significance about that.

Thank you! Β They actually all have the symbol, some of them are just more subtle than others (Polyhymnia's is on her bracelet, not very noticible on my part, oops, and others just have earrings or buttons). Β It's the astrological symbol for the sun, they wear it because Apollo is their leader. =]

I don't know anything about the story you've got here, but I think it's really interesting that she can't travel further in time than the latest time she's experienced. It's like the thing I think Einstein said where once time travel is invented, people will not be able to travel backwards in time to the point before the first time machine was invented- except switched backwards!

Thanks!Β  I mostly did that because I felt like it would be too convenient to go forward and figure out how to resolve whatever issue they were having in the present.

I just posted up Erato, and my last two will be Terpsichore and Euterpe.Β  They haven't had very big roles in the story.Β  If anything, the most prominent ones are Calliope, Melpomene and Urania.
