Tag As FavoriteComment		This is my version of Astraea, the Greek goddess of justice and innocence. Astraea came from the union of Zeus and Themis, and was one of the many gods who lived among the humans in the Golden Age. However, when the humans began to become corrupted in the Silver and Bronze Ages, many of the gods began to leave. Astraea stayed behind and preached about the powers of justice, and was the last god to leave. She rose into the sky and became the constallion Virgo, and it is said that she will come back down when another golden age arrives. This is one of my favorite myths, and I wanted to share it with y'all. ^.^

I agree with the previous comments, the hair looks quite well done. I especially like that she has strings of stars in her hair and how her dress fades into the sky.
