Description
The Greek goddess Artemis was very protective of her purity, and punished any man who attempted to dishonour her. Actaeon, a hunter, accidentally came upon Artemis bathing naked in a secluded pool. Seeing her in all her naked beauty, Actaeon stopped and gazed, but when Artemis saw him, she transformed him into a stag. Then, incensed with disgust, she set his own hounds upon him, who tore him apart.Artemis is being played by boom929-stock , and the waterfall is from heLpME-stocks , and the water comes from my own stocksite, stocktake .

gorgeous - i love how cool and pale the skin turned out. this is very different to the more masculine-looking Artemis i'm used to seeing people portray. the skin and hair make me think of Waterhouse and his "Hylas and the Water Nymphs" ..yes, another Pre-Raphaelite...i'm not obsessed, i swear it.

thanks!
yes, i know that painting well. I always envied hylas, even though he was being lured to his death by the beautiful nymphs .. I envied him precisely because he had chosen the precise manner of his death, and about to be so willingly led to it .. I imagine so gently, under the water .. as opposed to the water Iβd stared into, when I was so much younger, that seemed so pockmarked and scabbed by the offshore wind (Iβve explained this in the comment for the deviation called Jump ) .. to me, the painting is the retelling of a greek myth, and a retelling told with respect and understanding, giving the myths their dues as the pre-raphaelites always did, waterhouse most certainly, but alma-tedema most of all (and iβm not sure why he occupies so little space in the story of nineteenth century english painting, perhaps he was such a determined classicist without a thought to bending with whatever prevailing artistic winds might have been blowing, but i'm just hypothesizing again) .. giving the myths their dues as metaphors, and therefore a truth of sorts, certainly not βliesβ as the popular use of the word βmythβ would so wrongly have us believe.
and it's okay to have obsessions, i swear it.

I like this one.
The sensuallity, and the fragrance of the water, seems great.
Although, i can tell the transition change... I don't mind.
This looks great.

thanks!
and yep, the figure was masked in PS, then imported into Bryce, where the water was created, then the entire things was exported back into PS and blended with the 'background' ..

Are you studied in greek mythology? I love mythology! My dad bought me a large greek & roman mythology for christmas, and i love it. At my school they offer a mythology class, but i can't take it because i am a year young yet, but my boyfriend is taking it, and he tells me about these russian Wifetales that are so cool!

some of my Year 8's would disagree.

Year 8, That would be around 13 or 14 years old?
Tons of kids at my school are very immature and so ignorant... I wouldn't be surprised if your students couldn't see how lucky they are.
