Description
My version of Athena. I know she is usually depicted with blonde hair, but as the virgin goddess of war and wisdom and with her history, I thought the red appropriate. Here she is in a desecrated temple, ruined by war and time. Possibly regretting some of her choices.
I hope you like it!
I'm having some tests done soon to find out why I feel so run down and tired. Hopefully in the next month I'll be in with a doc who can help. I'm still practicing the modeling and hope to have something to share with you all soon.

She is very elegant and I do like your choice of red hair as it is very fitting for a goddess of war.
Awesome render, my dear. I hope you feel better soon. I was feeling real bad but since I went to the dentist & got a tooth pulled that has been bad for sometime I'm feeling much better.
Wonderful ! I like the colors a lot and that oufit (I bought it too) ! Well done xith the falcon and the lighting ... a powerful image ! I hope you have nothing bad, I am used to tiredness and often wonder if I have some illness but it seems I am born that way ;-)
Much more appropriate. Nicely done. I found when I stopped staying up til dawn playing on the pc, and after my doctor yelled at me, I felt much more refreshed. ;P All kidding aside, I hope you feel better soon, sweetie. Maybe you miss the desert...?
Beautiful art!!
didn't the band called "the who" have a song about her i believe. gr8 job!! your attention to details and beauty stand out here Delaney. thumbs up! 8++
the red you put in this upload really does the touch. I like the leg, I zoomed in to see if the own was on a leather arm protector and saw she was holding it with her hand - then I looked at her face and it's as if she is being instructed by a photographer to hold the owl that she's not familiar with - the expression and holding the owl with her hand gives this a different feel than a traditional way of handling an owl, I like it.
Really beautiful image and a classic and excellent depiction of this most powereful Goddess. Great setting with the ruins and perfect background. Good idea on including her patron animal. Awesome work.
It looks fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW... I really like this scene!! The reds are a great touch, powerful, regal and majestic rendering!!
VEry beautiful scene. Love the owl!
Beautiful composition and mood in this spectacular render, Delaney... A must see in the full size... I really like this symphony in grey, black and red! Vashek
I saw the word "elegant" above... perfectly said. Most Elegant and oh so beautiful. Bravo!
Beautiful scene!
Well, she's really beautiful here, Delaney! And she's a goddess, after all, so she can have whatever hair color she wants! Love the misty background here - another masterpiece, my friend! Hope you feel better soon, hon. It's not much fun feeling run down all the time... been there myself, lately. Hope your Doc can help with that. My thoughts and prayers go with you.
Such a marvelous image my friend, amazing pose, character and setting, superlative work as usual!
You have given her life in this image. This is how I have always imagined her, strong-willed but kind. You have put the essence of Greek mythology in your art, the colors were subtle with a touch of red that complimented the gray tones. Wonderful work!
This is a superb picture. The colors are stunning. All the mythologic symbols are there. And the desecrated temple is a good symbol of what is happening to Greece nowadays. Very,very strong picture. I hope you will get better soon. Cheers Odile
Cool work!! I remember that a owl is Athena's servant. Lady D!
Such a wonderful image my friend, excellent work....hope you feel better soon my friend.
Here I think red works because you have integrated the color throughout the composition giving a sense of harmony and balance and by so doing allowing you to push the territory a bit.
Outstanding composition. Fantastic character, pose, light and background. All fits together perfectly.
The red hair goes nicely with the foliage and overall colour scheme; nice pose.
The lighting is so beautiful, amazing art!
beautiful!
Lovely and beautiful Athena!! Everything just perfect matched!! GREAT WORK, Delaney!! Hope you getting out of this feeling of tirednes...Best thoughts to you! :o)
Very good character and outfit.
Great contrast of the beautiful colors! Love her red hair...awesome art work!!
Beautiful work, great atmosphere and I like her expression :O-)
