Whooooahhhhhhhhhh, what a badass lady indeed, love this design!!!Β  *0*Β  Love the details and your amazing rendering of the armor... your work truly astounds me every time.Β  The coloring on the thistles is just incredible as well-!!Β  My first thought was that it looks to me as thought she's caught a bug in her hands, hehehe... xD

I like the design too! I was so happy to draw her like it was Ian or Lie Lie (do I spell it correctly? >\\\\\<) for you back then! *////*
Thank you! β™‘

So warm and beautifully rendered. I really like how you combined all of the design elements (the thistles, the axe) in a way that contributes to the warm and intimate feeling of the portrait, rather than distracting from the character.

I love this! It's so rare to see lovely art of older women, especially ones who are more on the androgynous side. The whole picture conveys such strength but also softness, it's really lovely and atmospheric.

Wonderful character, both in the idea from the original creator and in the rendition you did. Love the fact that your depiction really shows Artemisia's gentle nature through her facial expression and body language, in complete contrast to her knight's attire. Also she seems to be a character who's been through a lot in her life, but who still retains a positivity and childlike view on life about her, and that works very well with the flower metaphor of it, the thistle, as well as the flower ring. I imagine it to be an engagement ring by her expression, either from a long-lost love or, hopefully, from a dear, very much alive, present husband.Β 

But regardless of the character's backstory I think you did a wonderful job portraying her in a way that makes people want to know more about her, while at the same time imagining so many situations and aspects about her. You make Artemisia very relatable and like a real person, at least for me.

She's gorgeous! She looks like the kind of character with a great backstory! And I love the pose and expression you chose. The thistles are beautiful, too. They're such underrated flowers. ;v;
