Artemis, Goddess of the Moon and the Hunt, sister to Apollo. I made this for the God/Goddess contest for Be gentle, this is technically my first photoshop drawing. It has taken a very very long time to do. I learned a lot about photoshop while I was working on this.
update 5/17/09 THIS IS A WIP AGAIN. I WASN'T HAPPY WITH IT.
I'm fixing her hair at the moment and added a little more shading that still needs to be blended on other parts.
I decided I want to improve upon this more. I rushed to finish it between my finals and the contest deadline, which were coincidently the same time.
For the process I drew a pencil sketch, then scanned it and painted with photoshop, so those were the mediums I used. I used a picture reference ([link] the movie cover of King Arthur) and another reference for the Greek dress [link]
Yay finally! Someone that drew artemis and colored her didn't make a silver bow!! That would be apollo ... >.> XD yay!

^^ she's awesome!! Wait ... I said silver didn't I? XD I'm so blond I'm jumbling out the words that are tumbling out of my head. Next thing we know, I'll be saying "ice-cream" or "PLUMNUTS!!!" in the middle of my sentences XD What I meant to say before was:
"Yay finally! Someone that drew Artemis and colored her with a sliver bow! Not a gold bow! [that would be Apollo ....>.>] XD"
But anyway, I can't wait to see the outcome of your work

OK, if you go for realism you should not forget the shadows! They are everywhere, especially the dress, hair, the armpit of her right arm etc. Though she, being the goddess, could be a source of light, but in this case you should add some glowing around her. And I also think her eyes are too small. But the rest is pretty good, I wish you luck in the contest

Why did God create me? - There wasn't enough hair for a monkey.
I think her hair should have a bit more detail, and if you can you should bring her chest up just a bit, and of course more shadows. But I have a feeling that was coming. Otherwise very nice! Good luck!

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More

It is better to be paranoid than dead.
History doesn't know subjunctive mood.
