OOO Cool! That just looks great Cath! Would love to see that as a finished product. Can't wait to have some fun with it.

That is great Cath! Boy, you're really diversifying - from super gorgeous chicks to handsome, virile hunks to the cutest kids to our prehistoric ancestors and now these fanciful, mythical creatures - they really do look amazing. W.

I immediately thought of Enki Bilal's illustrations of "La foire aux immortels" when I saw this work. You keep jumping around all over the place - I like it! Gary

The film was based on the La Foire aux immortels comics ...i love it

I've seen clips of the film, but have yet to see the whole thing. This is an excellent piece of work, and Horus happens to be one of my favorite divine figures, though I have to say that for personal reasons, I have a slightly deeper affinity with Thoth and Sebek...Thoth, because I'm a writer and Thoth is the inventor of written language...and Sebek, because...well...Sebek was just cool. Horus is one of the more magnificent "Noble" gods, and you did justice to both the mythic figure, and his rather more French incarnation. By the way, Horus had the head of a falcon, not an eagle...but that's not really an issue...I just know way more about ancient Egyptian mythology than is probably healthy. The feather patterns around the eyes of some falcons is what inspired the original design of "the Eye of Horus"...but again, that's a bit of mythological trivia, if anything. I love this set of images, showing the amount of work you're doing on ONE single figure. And now, you've put me in the mood for some good French Science Fictional/Fantasy cinema. Ah...French SF...weird, heady stuff. It's so giddy! This is fantastic!
Mec4D
I know someone will say that it was only matter of time :)) Well I know a lot about Egyptian mythology but that was not my point creating things that are done and created already .. and I know the Horus have a falcon head and not eagle , but because golden eagle is the symbol of the modern Egypt I created the eagle head in place of the falcon expressing myself in modern way... let see this creation as an interpretation of god of the sun and sky .. a -Egyptian fantasy with a modern french note lol and btw I was for plan to create RA , Anubis and couple more .. French Science Fictional/Fantasy cinema is deep and I like
SpookieLilOne
very awesome!~
alessimarco
~Super cool! I loved the movie you have clearly been inspired!~
RetroDevil
I thought this was impressive when I presumed it was a mask built from a seperate mesh. Now I know you morphed this from M4s mesh.....Thats just magic. Looking forward to Anubis :D
RodolfoCiminelli
Absolutely fantastic......!!!!
yelocloud
There is much imagery in the Norse, Greco-Roman, & Egyptian mythologies to be inspired by. Well done & looking forward to seeing where this develops
juliekitty

Incroyable!! (I hope I spelled it right as my french is extremely rusty) I love this bird creature! Are there any female gods with bird heads? I'd love to see a V4 version.
