This is one of the last commissions I completed early this year, before taking a break from them for a while. I loved the concept - a depiction of the lunar goddess, Artemis. But it was also a challenge to match this design to the style and colour palette of the client’s pre-existing tattoo they wished to pair with it (one of the goddess Athena). A great experience and a lovely client to work with. Here’s some detail shots at the first line art stage. xo

She is finally here after Helios and #nyx "The eye of Night", the “all-seeing” and bright… Selene “The air, unlit before, glows with the light of her golden crown, and her rays beam clear, whensoever bright Selene drives on her long-maned horses at full speed […]” (Homeric Hymns)
️Like her proud brother #helios ,the Sun god, #selene rides the sky every Night and embraces the earth. But the powerful moon goddess is moody and impulsive… And once per month she just disappears…
