Description
Artemis, Goddess of hunting and the Moon.She was the daughter of Zeus and Leto, and the twin sister of the God Apollo.
She was one of the most widely venerated of the gods and one of the oldest.
Even though she used to help pregnant women to give birth, the Goddess rejected the men and that's why she kept virgin.
This appears in one of the myths, where Artemis was having a bath with her nymphs in the forest and Actaeon, the Theban prince and hunter, stumbled across her.
Artemis was enraged to discover the spy, and turned him into a stag which was pursued and killed by his own hounds.
Her equivalent in the Roman mythology is Diana.
*********************************************
Artemisa, Diosa de la caza y de la Luna.
También conocida como Ártemis, era hija de Zeus y Leto, y hermana gemela del Dios Apolo.
Fue una de las deidades más ampliamente veneradas y una de las más antiguas.
Aunque ayudaba a las mujeres embarazadas a dar a luz, la Diosa sentía gran rechazo hacia los hombres, por lo que se mantuvo siempre virgen.
Esto se muestra en uno de los mitos, en el cual se cuenta que Artemisa estaba bañándose desnuda en el bosque en compañía de su coro de ninfas, cuando el príncipe tebano y cazador Acteón, que pasaba por allí, la vio.
Las ninfas lo descubrieron y corrieron a tapar a Artemisa. Pero ésta se disgustó tanto por haber sido espiada desnuda que transformó a Acteón en un ciervo. Los perros de caza de Acteón, que iban a su lado, se abalanzaron sobre él y le mataron, sin darse cuenta de que era su propio dueño.
Su equivalente en la mitología romana es Diana.

I like how you added the aspect of her being partly the goddess of moon ^^
Nice work. But I have one *stupid* question: Wouldn´t those feathers on her arrows worsen their flight? I mean, she´s a goddess, but...

Well, maybe I overload the arrows with those feathers, but I liked to draw them in a different way as she is a Goddess. I wanted to make them more eye-catching.
And don't worry, I appreciate all constructive criticism
Thank you for your words!!

You´re welcome. Lol, that´s good And since she is a goddess, she´ll find a way to let them fly straight anyway

Realmente hermosa y con los detalles muy cuidados pero discretos. Me encanta su atavio y los detalles de la frente y sienes algo que también he apreciado en el de Apolo y me encanta gran trabajo!
