Athena's gorgeous, but the background's so distracting I spent more time staring at the clouds XD

Thank you! Actually, I never really liked this background, but it does seem to work. It was originally gold. It was one of those things that turned out the exact opposite of what I was planning... :hmm:

So beautiful, I love the lines in her gown and hair, and I especially love the clouds! :D Do you have any tutorials out?

Thanks so much for the kind words! No, I've never made any tutorials...I don't even know what I'd put in one. :)
