Description
A little note to the kind viewer:
Having been offline for three weeks, I took some time to finish some old artwork. This particular piece was started in January of 2000 with the three central figures, Sekhmet, the lion-headed Solar Neter (neter was ancient Egyptian for what we would call an archetype), her consort Ptah, the Artisan/Creator, and their son, Nefertem, Neter of Medicine and Perfumes. I researched the Memphis Trinity in order to get every component, from their staffs, costumes (even Ptah in mummy wrappings)and poses accurate. Its an awkward piece, I know, but the stiffness and formality were purposeful and the composition as a whole still somehow conveys what I was looking to communicate, so I chose to share it publically.
This is a tribute in pixels for Sekhmet, one of whose praise names is "She For Whom The Arts Where Born".

This is amazing!! That lighting is so cool .. it looks like you have an actual light back there .. the back lighting on the characters is fantastic giving the whole image a dreamlike quality.. the details as always are wonderful.. I want a close up of those jewels S. Hat's off!

Un trabajo realmente increible!!, los efectos de iluminaci tienen un gran impacto en el espectador, tanto por el angulo donde se encuentran como por el color, las figuras toman un relieve sensacional, adem las texturas adquieren una gran profundidad, la luz hace que los personajes adquieran un aspecto escultico y fanttico, el contraluz que produce el sol hace que las figuras resalten con mas fuerza, el efecto de los rayos estmuy bien conseguido, el trabajo en Photoshop es realmente muy bueno.

Wonderful work! I just love mythology and I'm glad to see your use of the older Egyptian gods like this. Great job!
