Well I've got quite the love for depicting stuff from myths so joining this. I went with Eris, goddess of discord and strife.
Eris' symbol is the Golden Apple of Discord, which she inscribed with 'to the fairest', dropped into the wedding feast she wasn't invited to, which caused a argument between Hera, Aphrodite and Athena as to whom it was meant, and this all later led to the Trojan war.
Composition thumbs.
Clothing studies off statues and some books I own, as well as some patterns from pottery paintings to get some ideas for patterns on her clothes. Now that I look at it though, I feel like I can push it some more. Greek clothing is pretty fun really, all in the wrapping methods.
Rough sketch and colours.
