Description
Original line art by [link]This is Artemis, goddess of the hunt, wild animals, childbirth, virginity and young girls, and later became associated with the moon, while her twin brother, Apollo, became associated with the sun. She doesn't like men. The fauna is sacred to her. I don't know how she is a goddess of wild animals AND hunting, but I won't ask her because she is relentless (and I am not a girl, so it would be dangerous to ask). Do NOT accidentally look at her if she is naked, either. It will not end well for you (probably only if you are a man). What sets her apart from other gods and goddesses is that she is a feral free spirit.
Scan ruined her hair somewhat. It was supposed to be more silvery, but it is yellowy instead. And her dress lost a silver hue, too.
Colored with Prismacolor and Procolor markers.
The sky and glowy parts of the sky was done in Photoshop because I can't do skies well with markers. But the glowy parts under the sky was done with markers.

Thanks very much! She has a "moon glow" because she controls, or is, the moon.
And I peeped at your gallery. You have great coloring skills!

Thanks! I used to think of her with dark hair, too, until someone else on this site who made her blond said it's because it's the color of the moon, just like Apollo is blond like the sun. I was sold on that blond moon hair instantly.

I loooove her ! Have you've seen her glowing halo (aura ? How do you say ?) ???? Amazing !
the technic you used
PS : To solve that puzzling mystery of her being the goddess of wild animals and hunting at the same time, I've always told myself that she represented the circle of life, taking care of animals but still having the job of keeping the balance between species. And she was known for being a very responsible hunter, killing her prey with a single, direct hit, and never just for pleasure

Merci! This may be my new favorite. Her aura is because she gives light to the moon because she is the moon manifested on Earth.
(I can't believe people still think the sun lights the moon!
) Her hair is actually colored with mostly the new skin tone Promarkers. I like them.
I think your life wilderness idea is right. ;]
PS Does the deer have a third arm?

It does look like it have a third arm !!!!!!
But the one with the "nail" (???) was supposed to be one of the rear legs, showing a bit 'cause they're resting on their side (you know, when an animal rest first-half normally, but the other half on the side, like lounging ????)But it doesn't look like this at all, now that you point that to me !
Hummm... I was able to leave with the racoon slipers, but not with a three arms deer!!! I know someone who's going to do some photoshop retouching !!!

I thought she might be kind of in a ball on her side but wasn't sure. Lol I like the raccoon slippers! The raccoons seem to be fine with it, too, if you look at their smiles.

ErikRoger In reply to Dianabolique [2011-08-05 00:28:20 +0000 UTC]
Yes it does! I love Star Wars, too!
And thanks! It took forever to get the sky the way I wanted and I just couldn't do it smoothly with markers.
