New Concept Art from 300: Rise Of An Empire

Here are some Costume Concept illustrations I had the pleasure to create for Artemisia, the Persian Navy Commander, played by the beautiful Eva Green.  Been wanting to share this since its theatre release, better late than never right? Other than Artemisia as an adult is also her as a young child (from the flashback scene) when she began to develop her skills as a warrior...Enjoy!
