Thats a bit about Hecate
I choosed her since everyone else entering the contest has choosen very wellknown gods and godesses. I didn't know about Hecate until I googled her up

Worked quite long with this piece, stared in late June and worked now and then on it. Didn't want to rush it so the resulte would be bad.

Put lots of hidden symbols that is associated with Hecate in the drawing, here is a list of them all:


Hidden symbols

- Notice that Hecate is standing on a crossroad.

- In the distance you can see cypress trees. Cypress is associated with Hecate and is a symbol of death and the underworld.

- It's newmoon. The time Hecate was said to haunt crossroads. Hecate's planet is also the moon, just like Artemis.

- There are evil spirits in the smoke to illustrate that she is a godess of death, evil and witchcraft.

- In some sources Hecate was also said to be the godess of the perverse sexuality, so I did her a bit sexier than I planned. Big breasts and Angelina Jolie lips.
