A video of my snake embroidery, showing how the light shifts on the scales as the piece is moved about.
Working with embroidery the last couple years I knew this would be the effect I would get if I individually embroidered all the scales & thats why I chose to go the tedious route with this piece, the payoff!
Hope the vid shows it alright! It’s a bit hard to capture fully.

How I view Ares
People seemed to like my post on how I view Aphrodite (thank u again for the ask :) ), so I thought I'd do one for Ares
I once again open with that there is no wrong way to view Ares. I believe that personal interpretation of the Gods appearance (etc) is part of worship and your bond with them.
I view Ares similarly to the statues from antiquity. Tall, but no taller than roughly 6'2. muscular but not like a body builder, practical muscle rather that decorative. I see Him as scarred and willing to tell the Stories behind them. Stern and disciplined, but never cruel. He is a paternal figure, a protector, with a golden red-plumed helmet and spear by His side.
Ares is not solely anger and bloodlust, He cares for those affected by violence of all kinds. He knows that violence has its place and when to use it, because Ares is the God of War, War is not the God of Ares.
He is the patron of the Amazons, He is the protector of all victims of violence. He is a caring God who is not ruled by his anger.
Ares is not the common media tropes assigned to him by film. Ares is not evil.
