Artemis is another one of my favorite Greek Gods, and I took special pleasure in portraying her as a wild hunter in the moonlit forest surrounded by her sacred animals. The animals below her posed a little bit of a challenge, as illustrating things from a foreshortening perspective can cause me trouble sometimes. I was also super excited to incorporate the Artemis of Ephesus statue into the piece, which I was lucky enough to see in person when I visited Turkey in 2019. I also used this opportunity to mirror her pose with my illustration of her twin brother Apollo, to create a pair of images that complimented each other with symmetry.
