*EDIT****** because I have been asked the same question a dozen times already.
YES I am aware there are ten nymphs instead of nine. Unfortunately, seeing as this is a pretty perfectly symmetrical image, I'm sure you all can see the issue with putting only nine nymphs, so there is a set of place-holder legs to balance out the image XD


******WHOA! Thanks for the DD guys! *O*!!!!! <3

The idea behind this project was to depict the mythical goddess artemis in a contemporary setting. artemis was the goddess of the hunt and nature (in greek art she's always depicted in a forest with a deer and occassionally dogs, but i decided to nix those) and she had nine beautiful nymphs that followed her around wherever she went, and she decided at an early age she never wanted to marry a man and wanted to be 'chaste' for the rest of her life. she also ran around shooting beautiful maiden's in the chest with arrows, and there was another myth where she, (possibly another god in disguise) had an intimate affair with one of those nymphs.
so when i was thinking of modern day hunt, and all of these things, i decided artemis would be a pimp XDDD

this is a really new kind of thing for me. i never do designy stuff like those trees, and i rarely do such flat simple coloring, but the line drawing was so detailed i decided shading would be too much.

so enough rambling! XD

everything in this that appears any kind of sexual is purposeful, before anybody asks XD yes the candle is phallic XDDDD

and all those nymph hoes were SUPER fun to draw >D

haha. i like the girl on the left pushing up her boobs.
OHHH...this is awesome! I love it!

"and there was another myth where she, (possibly another god in disguise) had an intimate affair with one of those nymphs."

No it was actually Zeus that had the affair with one of her nymphs...and she killed the nymph for breaking her vow of chastity.
