Update 6/8/2022: Added her shield, the Athenosakis.

And now time for some individual pics!

First up is Pallas Athena, Goddess of Wisdom, Warfare, Weaving, and the Heroic Endeavor, and a key ally and mentor for Thunder Woman during the formative years of her time as a superheroine fending off the revenge schemes and plots of Hera and her minions. To the point where I have made her a more regular part of Samantha's supporting cast, with Athena actually choosing to leave Olympus for an extended period and assume a human alter ego as a visiting professor at NPU. So yeah, Athena has really gotten an upgrade as a character.

Design-wise I initially had more ambitious plans involving incorporating more snake-imagery and a Gorgoneion into her outfit, but I ended deciding to scale back those ideas and mostly stick to the original design I had for Athena. But I think the adjustments I did make have done well to visually enhance and update her look. She looks more impressive now. I also added her signature spear that she always seen with here, called the Athenidoru here (literally "Athena's Spear"). I did not include the Aegis as that is a device associated with more than just Athena, so anything like that will be handled separately.

Anyway, here's my original version of Athena, for comparison:

Hope you all enjoy, and stay tuned for Ares and Hermes!
