Artist's Comments

Another assignment from my Figure Illustration 1 course this semester - finally scanned in! (It's too beg for an average scanner, at about 14x17 inches) This particular assignment had three main requirements. 1) it had to depict a Greek myth of our choice. 2) it had to be done traditionally, preferably in part with acrylics, and 3) while photo realism was not required, we did absolutely have to use photographic reference.

I also apparently have something for moons in the backgrounds of images for this class. This was the first of two. No idea why.

At any rate, the lovely *Tasastock was gracious enough to allow me to use one of her images ([link]) as reference for Artemis here - my Greek Goddess of choice - Goddess of the Hunt. Do check out her wonderful stock gallery if you get the chance!

Acrylics, Prismacolor Colored Pencils, Illustration board.

There are still a few issues here and there, but given time constraints, I'm pleased with it in spite of the fact. :D

Cheers,
♥Mel

But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

Chuck Gillies - and absolutely fantastic guy. He paints professionally (And is absolutely phenomenal at it) so I think he tends to see the benefit of exposing students to different mediums early on in the courses more then some other professors to. But yeah, it was really great to be able to get in and apply paint to the figure illustration techniques we were learning through life drawing in class.

Gorgeous picture! I love the jewelry and especially the facial marks; it makes her seem almost tribal to me. ^_^

Amazingly long time i dont use acrylics, but i must say you did a great job.

I love her face, hair, clothes the brightness of the moon is superb, well, everything is really great, but, the right (her left) hand doesnt feel right though, a bit too manly.
