Babylonia, move over (lol), you've made another fascinating & playful interpretation of the myths of our past. The only "Creation Tablets" I know of are the Babylonian (I studied them a long time ago & don't remember a whole lot.) But from what I know of your wonderful art, you're recreating your own marvelous imaginary set, making a new set of tablets from scratch. Those Braille-like dots & those interesting square symbols---whose origins I can't guess, but like so many things you create, they're so close to symbols we know)---are like ancient pictographs that have meaning to some imaginary civilization; and they seem to be telling us who's powerful and who's not (the Leader & the followers---it's pretty clear who's the Leader here). Those two people supporting the god-like figure in the center---he has to be a god of some sort because he has a sun for a halo, and his body seems filled with seas of fire. And you have one of your signature fish in there, and those symbols above the three people, which probably tell us something of their stature or their story. For anyone who's actually seen ancient tablets & been amazed by their strange and often confounding communications, this is a big fun takeoff, and it feels like it's amazingly clear to a civilization somewhere. Creative & strangely realistic; and your imagination, as you dive into the symbols of our past, is wonderfully accurate & playful at the same time. More creative work from you, Mandi. I love when you create things like this...

This is stunning! Why didn't I comment on this before? Oh well...I'll just attribute non-commenting to a brain fart on my part. In looking back at your gallery, I'm really quite happy to see a "Creation Tablet" here. I've seen the Babylonian and Sumerian ones, but I have to admit, they didn't look as cool. I suppose this really DOES deserve to be added to the whole catalog of creation tablets we're aware of...Renderositian culture is rich and diverse, and WOW...you've gone and implied a Renderositian cosmology! Nice! I also love the way this looks like those simplified diagrams we either beamed into space from SETI or embedded in gold records on the Voyager space probes. It's a marvelous melding of symbols: ancient and modern, and it establishes a nice continuity. I really like this a lot.
