Man it’s been a while! I figured out the problem for the low turnout of art recently, I needed a holiday, been several years since I had one so I figured it’s a good time for a little relaxation time. So with batteries recharged I decided to get back into things with a manip of Wonder Woman’s ally and fellow Amazon, Artemis.
You may recall I did an Artemis concept a while back that was more influenced by the recent animated movie than the comics, this time I went to a more comic accurate depiction after I saw some really cool fan art of the character. Once again used Missy Peregrym as Artemis, don’t know why but she’s always seemed like a perfect choice for the character to me. About 10 hours work.
She is as near to perfect as you could hope. I really like this, especially the idea that the Amazons have a common model for their chest armour. It all makes so much more sense.
Ah! Thanks for noticing, I kinda like the idea the eagles symbol is like the national symbol for Amazons, with each persons breastplate being unique to that person.
Wow Josh…this is simply spectacular!!! Amazing work…whenever this movie gets made they really need to call on you as costume designer… Will you ever make this beautiful costume rendition into a character design full body manip? Please say yes…she looks perfect for the part!!
Agreed with David..
it’s as good as it can be, i really like the belt though. And that on her face, that’s some kind of face paint right ?
@Vaughn – I’ve started veering away from doing full body images now, simply because it takes extra time and sometimes I just can’t find the right images. So at this stage I’ll say it’s unlikely, but you never know!
@Brandon – Yeah it’s face pain, Artemis sometimes wears this green headband thing of a similar shape but I couldn’t make it work properly, so I decided to turn it into something like warpaint.
Your full body images a simply great! Fingers crossed that you find the right image and have the time to create one for your NEW Artemis!!
Wow… you recharged batteries well I would say… and you didn’t take a single holiday in several years? Let me quote Bill Murray: You’ve earned it.
This Artemis conceptual artwork is truly solid and the actress you found seems perfect to embody the character: strong eyes, powerful pose, she doesn’t seem like one to play with the wrong way.
The overall suit is incredible and the various textures go very well together. I especially liked, as David Stewart put it, that the Amazons all have the same chest logo. The colours are a bit vibrant without crying “Batman & Robin” vibrant. The use of less saturated greens also makes for an effective camouflage.
I also like how the suit/armour Artemis wears also is reminiscent of Wonder Woman’s design.
One very strong piece and I hope you’re proud of it.
By the way, I think this listing is illegal… it is a manip containing the Joker and Harley Quinn which, if I remember, was YOUR design…

It’s really good. but are you doing Artemis, as in the Greek Goddess? If so, I think she should have something with a moon, since she was also the moon goddess.
Don’t know whether you’d still care or not, but this person is using your photomanip to plug his upcoming book…
thanks for letting me know.
