Athena

The goddess Athena, a major player in 'Peace' , the book that I'm doing with Martin Millar. The trick is to make her look beautiful but also intimidating.
Incidentally my studio mate George O'Connor did a really great graphic novel about Athena that I can wholeheartedly recommend.

  2. The grey-eyed goddess certainly intimidated the gods when she sprang forth from Zeus' head, fully-armed, brandishing her spear, with a great battle-shout.
