Description This particular assignment had three main requirements. 1) it had to depict a Greek myth of our choice. 2) it had to be done traditionally, preferably in part with acrylics, and 3) while photo realism was not required, we did absolutely have to use photographic reference.

I also apparently have something for moons in the backgrounds of images for this class. This was the first of two. No idea why.

At any rate, the lovely *Tasastock was gracious enough to allow me to use one of her images ([link] ) as reference for Artemis here - my Greek Goddess of choice - Goddess of the Hunt. Do check out her wonderful stock gallery if you get the chance!

Acrylics, Prismacolor Colored Pencils, Illustration board.

There are still a few issues here and there, but given time constraints, I'm pleased with it in spite of the fact.

Cheers,
β™₯Mel

Your work is amazing! I envy your skills >< hehe
I'm gonna add this in my portfolio as inspiration and idea development
By the way, what's the purpose of the face paint or those lines on her face?

You've probably got the comments for this piece blown up about why Artemis gotta have her lunar goodness there, so I'll shush about that and get on to the art (which is lovely).
The coloring and the character design are vera vera nice; the shading in between tones is smooth and she looks like a proper Greek goddess. But the best part of this is the intensity in her pose - particularly her face and dagger hand. It really looks as though she sees danger.
Well done!

lol! From what little I know of Miley Cyrus, I suppose she does a bit. Fortunately she looks more like the lovely stock-photo model I referenced for this image [link]

The colors are very eye catching in a dark and mysterious sort of way, and I like how you have the out of frame on the top and bottom of the opposite sides it gives the image a very good balance. I do think that the more metallic pieces could have used more of a glint to them simply because of the comparison to how the hair is highlighted, but then again the way it is now sort of gives the painting a certain style to it. Over all I think it is very well done and I will definitely go check out the rest of your gallery!
