O___O ooooh. another pretty background that I'm spending way too much time staring at.
Okay. I'm back now. Once again, I love all the detail that you lavish your goddesses with - every fold of her dress, strand of her hair, and every shadow on her sheild looks amazing. I can tell you put a lot of time and care into these paintings!
I'm also a big fan of the ray of light aligned with Athena's spear. Lovely visual device there.

Athena's gorgeous, but the background's so distracting I spent more time staring at the clouds XD

Thank you! Actually, I never really liked this background, but it does seem to work. It was originally gold. It was one of those things that turned out the exact opposite of what I was planning...
