Description
Artemis, the majestic archer Goddess of the moonlit forests and protector of youth and wild creatures. An eternal virgin Goddess, she was extremely protective of her purity and that of her followers. Any slight on her honor was met with vengeance. She was often associated with the Moon, as her twin brother, Apollo, was with the sun, and she was seen as being a fertility goddess due to her assistance with the birth of her brother.Stock used for pose reference is the wonderful

Thank you, she's one of my favorite goddesses too. Artemis is always shown as being unpredictable and wild, she's very interesting.

I love the work you do with cloth, and the style reminds me of the beautiful illustrations in some of the books I had as a child.

Thanks, I love designing the clothes in my paintings, it's one of the most fun aspects, I think! My favorite costume I've designed though is the one of La Belle Dame Sans Merci [link] , I would kill for that outfit!

Yeah, that one's fab too, even tough I think I'd look better in Artemis' stuff. I'm not that comfortable in long gowns and much textile, I love to be agile and able to move around quite a bit.

Well this one would be perfect for you then, maybe without the long sash trailing down the back.

Yeah, and probably sturdier shoes too. I guess that when walking boots became the hit Artemis was lining up to buy them!

lovely work, and it's quite an unusual Artemis as well. Funnily enough, a few night ago I saw the goddess Freya in my dream - and she looked a lot like your Artemis
