SciFi and Fantasy Art Athena/Sophia by Sarah Cloutier

Athena's symbols are the javelin, the aegis, the helmet, the olive, the owl, the raven, and the snake. Her wings here are loosely based on those of Athene noctua, the owl most closely associated with her.

Sophia is the Christian personification of wisdom according to some stories. I don't know all that much about her, frankly, but there are some lovely passages describing her virtues in the Psalms.

16 Jan 2005	Tina von Wiesen	Loading... Very pretty. I´m amazed over the shading and the light on her, truly stunning piece!
5 Feb 2005	Spazkid	Loading... It's a beautiful picture. But the right wing looks a little off. The angle that it's at is funny. Besides that I love it
11 Apr 2005	Zoe	Loading... Athena is such a wise, intelligent, beautiful, and compassionate goddess! She is so cool! I always admired her. Plus, she's a great warrior too, which proves that women can be great fighters too.
8 May 2005	Keith Trimm	Loading... Your watercolor techinque is wonderful, I just think she has man hands.
2 Sep 2005	Anonymous	Loading... Hmm I can see why this got a gold star. This is a very simple, plain yet passionate peice that is very lovely and well done!
15 Dec 2005	Little sister	Loading... gorgeous collarbone. I like the man hands.
17 Feb 2006	Anonymous	Loading... I think this is a wonderful picture of Athena.She is beautiful just like all women should be.
7 Apr 2006	Scott t McCruden	Loading... Hait to be the one to say so, but the shoulder is to low. The clavical(calor ) bone is to low and the arm schould be alittel thinker. I think also that the lighting seem to be alittel off; if the light is hiting her face that way her uper chest would also be light. The middel of her chest where it rases up, woudl have more light on that area.Her hair would aslo have some highlight on the right side if you looking at the painting ; our the girl left side.How ever i do like this painting keep up the good work. Sarah Cloutier replies: "You may be right about thickness of her arm. I was working from a photo that ended a little below the shoulder. I'm pretty sure the lighting of her chest is right, though. I'm sorry of the twist of her neck and body didn't come across clearly. The lack of highlights was a deliberate stylization; again, sorry that wasn't clear. In the end, though, keep in mind that all women have different bodies, even the young attractive ones. A 'too-low' collarbone in this case is actually just what was there.Thank you for the thoughtful comment, I'm glad you enjoyed this piece."
