A stunning 70 layers.
Completely pixel shaded.
Took 6 days.

This is an image of my favourite Greek goddess, Artemis.
I included some of her adventures:

In the left corner, Actaeon: He dared to insult Artemis, so she turned him into a stag and let him be eaten.
In the right corner, Iphigeneia: As unclear as it may be... it is the famous Iphigeneia. Her father, Agamemnon, sacrifised her in order to set sail towards Troy. (yes, they skipped that part in the movie). Instead, the myth says Artemis made a deer be sacrifised in Iphigeneias place.
In the sky, Orion: Those vague stars there, are Orion.. Artemis' only lover, who got killed and put up in the sky.

The two trees represent the moon and the sun, for Artemis is also the Goddess of the Moon, and her twin brother Apollo, is the Sun God.

Oh, it's completely baseless ^^
Only Artemis' face is 90% pixeled by a friend, since I'm hopelessly bad at faces xP

The colours you used, and the way they all look together, wow oh wow. It's like being inside a dream, or a beautiful oil puddle. I could stare at the colours in the upper right corner for longer than I care to admit. %u2665
