Finished a sketch, finally, based on a statue of Sekhmet I have somewhere on the ol' HD...it's only taken me a frickin' year. >_<
I'm rather pleased with it - it's probably the first piece of art I'd even remotely consider anthromorphic, and it looks nice. The scan's a little grainy and streaky, but that's because the scanner's old enough to be in Kindergarden now.







Wooha. Sketchy sketchy. Still too much floating around my head, and still too much of a duality balancing act inside to really do much about it.

What kind of cat is Sekmeht? As I understand She and Bast/et are different aspects of the same but I am wondering if She is panther, jaguar, cheetah (that one's a reach) or some Egyptian can I don't know...

It's complicated. Sekhmet is a lion-headed, solar Goddess - she's considered an aspect of Hathor. But some people also consider her a sister to Bast due to her leonine nature...it really depends on the situation.

gorgeous!
One day you’ll walk the world
and keep in mind
The heart you’ve been given
in winter time
And through the bitter cold,
with opened eyes
You’ll find the strength to fight
and stand upright
