Description
Nicole, Moonbunnie, gifted me her beautiful character Neila and asked if I could turn her into a Goddess? As I told Nicole, that was not going to be too difficult, because she had already created one. Still my challenge was to turn this sweet young thing into one of my warrior women. I always thought Neila would make a great Celtic girl and so here she is as the legendary Scota, mother of the Gaelic peoples of Ireland and Scotland. Thank you Nicole, for giving me the chance to work with Neila! She is absolutely gorgeous and I think she has to be one of the most real-to-life V4 models that are out there. You did great!
Please take a look full-size for highlight details.
The Gaelic Warrior Goddess Scota celebrates the successful invasion of Ireland by her two sons.
Scota was probably once a mother Goddess in her native Egypt, but her myth and origins today are shadowy. It is believed that she lived around 1400 B.C. and she is attributed as being a warrior Goddesses. It is understood that she was the daughter of the Pharaoh Cingris, after which the stories about her diverge. In most tales she is the wife of a Babylonian called Mil Espaine, and the mother of Amergin the bard. Exiled from Egypt, they moved to Spain where they had several children including two sons, Eber Finn and Eriimon. These sons launched the "Milesian" invasion of Ireland during which they conquered the resident Tuatha De Danann.
At some point during the invasion Scota was killed and she is thought to be buried near a dolmen (a primitive stone altar) in County Kerry, Ireland. However, her memory lives on as the name Scoti, derived from her own, was once a designation for the Irish, and later became the name of the Scottish people.
The purpose of the story of Scota was to tie the royal family of Ireland, and subsequently Scotland, back to a dynasty that could not be disputed, that of the Egyptians. Scotland's Stone of Destiny was said to have been carried to Ireland by Scota during the Milesian invasion. This sandstone block was regarded as a being the pillow used by Jacob when he had the dream reported in Genesis about Jacob's Ladder.

The story i'm currently writing is a trilogy called the ostiary (latin for doorkeeper) and the first book takes place in 12 century Ireland and Britain. the two main characters are Celtic monks.... the research i did was very interesting.. we seem to have the same love of historical fantasy/legends. great post.. appeals to me on a lot of levels.

Your knowledge of ancient religions and mythologies is really impressive. I'm always fascinated by the background research behind your stories. Thanks for bringing us another great goddess. I like the POV in this picture, the triumph and joy in her expression are really highlighted by the way we look down into her face. Beautiful work!

Nice goddess! She is very pretty! You did a superb job with her.

Roxy She looks Fantastic Hun! Beautiful work!!!

For some reason, this is not what I was expecting when you told me that you were going to make her a redhead! shrugs I guess that is what I get for overthinking it. She is amazing Roxy, it took me a minute to realize that this was the same sweet girl I saw yesterday! You made her a stunningly beautiful and obviously leathal warrior goddess! The only thing that would have worked better for this image was instead of a smile if you would have given her a banshee war scream face, as beautiful as she is, for some reason I am only seeing the her ability to bleed opposing armies of their warriors. Your ability to fuse history with your renders always amazes me and this is no exception! You are rapdly becoming my favorite artist here!
