Artist's Comments

Isis is a goddess in Egyptian mythology. She was most prominent mythologically as the wife and sister of Osiris and mother of Horus, and was worshipped as the archetypal wife and mother.
Her name literally means "(female) of throne", that is, "Queen of the throne", which was portrayed by the emblem worn on her head, that of a throne. However, the hieroglyph of her name originally meant "(female) of flesh", i.e. mortal, and she may simply have represented deified, historical queens.

Hello peeps!! :boogie:
I'm back to digital art business,YAYS!

This picture is the first piece of the series "Gods of the Ennead", the mother goddess ISIS :)
Here goes the symbolisms:Thick lips & big breasts represent fertility.I wanted her to have a strong and fearful expression on the face because of the things she went through (read the article for more info).Wings are one of the outstanding elements of her representation.Massive usage of gold is to make it look like a typical ancient egypt picture,since she herself represent egypt.
The leather glove is...something i wanted to add :D i like the controversy LOL

here goes the technical stuff:
time: 2 weeks
tools: you know it: photoshop :)
reference:no
original size:2940x2016

Daily Deviation

Given 2007-11-10

Gods of the Ennead: ISIS by *Desert-Of-Seth is full of beautiful details. The colors aren't too bright to hurt the eyes and they aren't too dark so that you're left squinting to make out parts of the face or the character over all. The shading , highlighting and color over all is very smooth and clean and you can't see a brush stroke in sight! The entire picture is very life like!
