Artist's Comments
My submission to
 's Myths contest.One of my favourite mythical characters, Greek goddess of wisdom and war Palas Athena.  I mixed some traditionally Greek elements, such as the famous Greek nose and helm and armour (the symbols of which, such as the Gorgon, the Sphinx and the Gryphon are present in many of her depictions), with some decidedly non-Greek elements, such as the spear. The BG consists of symbols associated with her, such as the olive tree, the owl, and the spider's web (in a reference to her weaving skills, as well as the famous episode of her dispute with Aracne, another famous weaver). All in all, I'm really satisfied with this one, it gave me a chance to draw some stuff I had been longing to draw for some time.  |

E falando em preguicosa... *olha pro olho do desenho* .dana Vou puxar sua orelha, Camilla D8< XD AOHAOHAOHA!
Nota-se o avanco absurdo que vc deu nessa pintura. A comecar pela atencao com os reflexos do metal, na armadura. Sao esses pequenos detalhes que fazem toda a diferenca no final. Continue melhorando assim o.o/
Vc podia ter feito o BG com mais carinho.
E boa sorte o.ob
