this is not artemis/diana
she is Athena/Minerva
her symbol is the owl

Um... As the artist, don't I get to decide that? Artemis is a huntress. Owls are used in falconry. It's not like Athena copyrighted them for her use.

no, dear, artemis/diana , her symbolism is the arrow and archer, also always have a deer beside her,
but goddess pallas athena or minerva's symbolism is the owl and also victoria
artemis is the goddes of hunt, why would he have an owl as her symbol
but athena/minerva is the goddess of wisdom and war, war that has a bad omen for her enemies which is depicted in the owl she holds

I didn't say it was her symbol. I said owls are used in hunting, and Artemis is a huntress.
I also said that this is MY vision. Take it or leave it.

okay as you like, but want you to know in greek and roman mythologies, goddess artemis/diana, never used the owl or were one of her symbols
better if you rename it to goddess Athena/Minerva
sorry for disturbing you, just liked to tell you so

And samurais never wore European medieval armor or had facial tattoos, but in my work, they do. And since Greek gods are fictional characters I think a little creative license is nothing to sweat.

Such beautiful detail! I can see why loves your work so much. I recognized the stock model immediately. For me...that is always an indication of talent when I know who it is right away
Just beautiful

I know you get a lot of comments and favs, but I just enjoy watching your works so much that I have to say it. It's awesome!
I mean, you always have great shading, but the thing I love the most in your works is the attention you give to every detail. The vase, the leaves, the arrows... people usually settle for a vague background but you draw a great picture, a great background, and still manage to keep the focus where it's supposed to be.
A fav from me for this one as well. I actually don't know how many times I watched it before actually writing this down and adding it, probably a lot. You're a good inspiration and I thank you from my heart for sharing your drawings with everyone.

And thank YOU! For the fav, as well as such a wonderful, in-depth comment.
I do love my details, I'm a masochist when it comes to them...

incredible attention to detail in the clothes, the background, everything!
I especially love the crossed stitches, the fur (looks soooo sooooft!) and the ragged effect on her gloves

Your work is brilliant, sometimes i have trouble believing that they're drawings, and not photographs. Keep up the fabulous work!

In my opinion you are the best graphite artist around, Maria, you seem to imbue your work with something more than technical skill...you kinda add a certain soul and life to your masterful pieces!
Wonderful wonderful art!
