Description
EDIT: ADDED 6 MORE CHARACTERS!!! :3
-------
Jeez, I barely get any time to myself anymore, but that’s okay. I’m really enjoying school, and I feel like I’m getting better at art, so badabing! :3
ANYWAY. I received a question a while ago asking about the marknings the Divine have in the Goddess!AU, so I thought it’d be cool if I drew headshots to showcase some of them. :3 This is part 1 of a few, so be prepared for more in the future. In the meantime, here are the first batch of Gods/Demigods in the AU!
Every Divine, half-blooded or no, are born with these permanent markings on their bodies. Each god’s markings are unique to them and there isn’t any other quite like them. When the Divine is actively using magic, their markings glow, their brightness depending on the level of power is put into the magic. The markings also act as visual signs of emotion change. When angered, afraid, or in the throws of pleasure, the markings glow again, their brightness once again depending on just how intense the feeling is.
Spike is the only one here who isn't a demigod or a god at all, but he's a special special case. Here’s why:
Spike entered a Blood Pact with Twilight (blood pact is when one of divine blood shares their blood with one of mortal blood. In result the mortal gains magical power and abilities in return for their servitude to the divine-blooded one in question), which Twilight did to save little Spike when she found him dying of blood loss. She gave him the chance to back out of it since it wasn’t necessarily with his consent (it was to save his life, sure, but the point still stands), but he chose to remain within the Blood fact and as such is forever bonded with Twi until the day they die, or when he decides to revoke the contract.
Entering a Blood Pact with a Divine effects a mortal in that it gives them some of the markings of the Divine they’re entering the pact with, however theirs will be very faint (in most cases, the mark doesn’t show unless they invoke the Blood Pact’s contract). As far as Spike’s go, the Blood Pact allows him the ability to shift from his normal child body into the full-grown form of an adult dragon. I’d write more but I have class in like 5 minutes, so just let me know if you have any questions. Other than that, I hope you like the additional Divine!

Why not Pinkie and Rainbow? Thought it'd be interesting for them to be goddesses in the AU.

Eh, I guess you are right. However if you really think about it. (If this is good “AU” thinking) The others would be good goddesses as well.
(Sorry, don’t really know what AU is or stands for. CX)

Nah, she's not half bat. Slit pupils and tufted ears are traits any pony can get, not just bat ponies, and Dash just so happens to have both.

XaiosSilverStorm21 [2018-01-08 09:54:29 +0000 UTC]
Something on my mind. Does godhood appear? Is it passed through blood? Or are you suddenly born with it? Like if one had an ancestor that was a god would they also be born a god even after 101 generations worth of children?

EarthnAshes In reply to XaiosSilverStorm21 [2018-01-08 14:03:48 +0000 UTC]
You have to be born to a god to be a god. Never does godhood suddenly appear.

Fluttershy's not a god. Spike is not a god either, you can read about him in the description.

weehawk99 [2017-03-25 22:35:25 +0000 UTC]
I really like how there are some similarities with some of the markings, though Rainbow's are almost completely unique, until I looked closer at two others. Wondering of there is any significance in that
👍: 1 ⏩: 1
EarthnAshes In reply to weehawk99 [2017-03-25 22:42:48 +0000 UTC]
Nope. Divine markings tend to popular similar areas in all Divine: under the eyes, the top of the muzzle, shoulders, arms, legs, neck, and sometimes even horns. How that marking manifests is completely unique them (as in no two markings are the same), although you might see some more similarities of the pattern of the markings between siblings and relatives.

These are amazing, as always. I would honestly kill to see a full body sketch of discord from this AU, lol, he looks so badass with his red markings omg I'm screaming Celestia and Luna are stunning as well, I can't even

shebyperez1995 [2017-01-19 02:16:49 +0000 UTC]
This is awesome! I love the blood pact/adoption with Twilight and Spike. Do the markings have a specific meaning, if so what? And whose the one in between Spike and Sombra?

EarthnAshes In reply to shebyperez1995 [2017-01-19 02:30:45 +0000 UTC]
Each marking is unique to the Divine in question but they don't have any specific meanings. And the one between those two is Scorpan, Tirek's brother.

Ah! As soon as I sent that question, I then thought, Wait! Isn't that Tirek's brother(what's his name again)? Anyway, great work! Though, Discord's markings made me think of battle paint, like what warriors used to do.

Regardless of AU their relationship will always be mother and son.
