Artemis, Goddess of the Hunt

Description

SMITE LORE (skip if you're not interested):
"Armed with a magical bow, Artemis is the unrivaled Goddess of the Hunt!
    Daughter of Zeus and Leta, Artemis and her twin brother Apollo are products of Zeus’ infidelity to his wife Hera. Insulted, Hera cursed Leta while she was pregnant, forbidding her to give birth on land or sea. Fortunately, she found an island that did not touch the ocean floor, so it was neither land nor sea, and thus bore her children. Artemis was born first, then miraculously aided as midwife in the birthing of her brother.
    Artemis spent her childhood in the hills and forests, training with her bow and hunting beasts. As she grew older and more beautiful, she also grew proud and ruthless when slighted or dishonored, especially against those that claimed to be better hunters than she. Adonis boasted this very thing and Artemis sent a wild boar to skewer him. The twin demigods Otos and Ephialtes, who could not be killed except by each other, threatened to kidnap Artemis and force her to marry one of them, but were tricked when Artemis, appearing as a doe, dashed between them. As they thrust with their spears they impaled each other. Finally, Actaeon, after peeping at Artemis while she bathed, was transformed into a stag and devoured by his own hunting dogs. Such is the wrath of Artemis.
    Her name is invoked by hunters seeking prey and by midwives during childbirth. Sacrifices are made in her name before a new military campaign. Adolescent girls are sent to her shrine to serve for one year. Beautiful, deadly, and chaste, Artemis is a focused woman and a fearsome warrior."

Woo, finally, I got to make Artemis :3 She is my all time favourite Greek goddess!! ^ u^ Bows and arrows are my favourite weapons (besides axes and warhammers > .>) and she is pretty kick-ass. She's young, but proud, which makes her both cute and awesome. Yayy :3

In this sprite, which wasn't too much of a challenge, you can see the detail I've tried to put it, but I couldn't put it all in, I'm afraid.. You see, that bow of hers covers most of her body.. That's what happens with pixels... She is, however, readying a blue arrow to shoot it at anyone who dares to step to her.

She's not wearing wide pants, she's sorta squatting, which is quite a neat pose for a goddess trying to hunt down a prey. Between her legs you can see the piece of cloth that she covers her behind with. She also carries a quiver on her left side (viewers right) with several blue arrows. Zoom in, you'll see ^ u^

EDIT (14/06/2023): Artemis has gotten a remodel~! I do love what they did with her, especially the freckles. I think mine came out alright, maybe a tad too bulky. I kept the old pose as much as possible, just slightly.. better. That way it's not just an improvement of her design, but also shows how I've developed my skills since 2016. At least a little! ^ -^
