- updated version -


Funny fact : I was quite happy about how this lineart turned out. I thought I've captured the wildness, the wilderness and the shyness of that goddess in a cute way, and I was all smile until my daughter came around I said to me :

"OMG, OMG ! This is the MOST beautiful women ROBIN HOOD I've ever seen !!!!!



Artemis, Goddess of Light and Protector of the Vulnerable
Artemis is also know as Diane (roman)


"When Zeus asked Artemis what presents she wanted for her third birthday she responded without hesitation that she wanted six things:

~ to be allowed to live without having to be distracted by love and marriage,
~ a bow and arrow just like her brother's,
~ a hunting costume and freedom from having to dress up like a lady,
~ the job of bringing light into the world,
~sixty young nymphs to be her companions and to help care for her hunting dogs, and
~all the mountains on the earth to live on.

Zeus was amused by her precociousness and happily granted the little goddess Artemis her wishes. Even at this tender age it was clear that Artemis was going to be the most independent of the goddesses, one who thrived on challenges!

Artemis' association with the natural world, the wilderness, symbolizes her own untamed spirit. The Greek goddess Artemis was famous for her hunting skills, for the sharp focus of her attention and her unerring aim. She was known as a fearless and responsible hunter, willing and able to bring down the most terrifying beasts."
