Where to find a Female Spartan/Trojan Warrior

Does anyone know where I can find some good clip art of a Spartan Woman warrior. The customer sent me the attached but besides being too low resolution I think it is from a video game. It is also not coming up in a Google image search.

This is for a local High School and they have been asking for almost a year now for us to find them a female I have shown them every one I can find none are working is there somewhere I am not looking. I have gone to Shutterstock, iStock, Can Stock and a dozen others.

Keep in mind I do not have the drawing skills to create one myself.

It's better to have two hands than one glove.
Perhaps the pesky fact that there were no female Spartan warriors might be confounding your search.

While I agree with you both my customer and boss do not (Boss is of the opinion that the customer is always right no matter what).

Athena/Minerva is a good idea and I have spent the last hour searching. Any other ideas would be very welcomed. Basically the school is trying to be politically correct :covereyes: and have both male and female Spartan images on all there signs. This is a large job 18 double sided pole banners and hardware so I have got to find something. Its times like this I wish I could draw.

Additional ideas and constructive suggestions welcomed.

Art! Hot and fresh.
There are tons of spartan mascot things you can convert to being a female if you know anatomy.

For example ... http://www.istockphoto.com/stock-illustration-13604861-gladiator-warrior.php

That is more roman than spartan, but it's easy enough to change pecks to breasts, and make the 6-pack not so 6-pack like.

Or just draw your own. That is what I would do, you have plenty of reference of what the armor should look like. http://senshistock.deviantart.com/ ... if you can't find a pose there ... or on deviantart at all ... you're doing something wrong.

Or, oh hell, just tell them you need to hire a mascot service and they will get something completely theirs for the work ... I've resorted to it.

Most will have a rate for just a B/W ink drawing or sketch and just get the lady in a few poses. Might cost them a couple hundred ... but here is a place that does it. http://www.customsketchartist.com/

Thank you I will run this pass my boss on Monday. Sadly I don't have the skill to create it myself. I have tried for years just can't draw original artwork.

Trust me, there is a high school student that can draw one. Just do a contest and the winner will have a perk the rest of their life. Even if they do not
hit the mark, just pick the most gifted
