Story in brief: Some young Egyptian wealthy/princess/priestess-esque girl has been possessed/sleepwalking, hearing a goddess and heading toward some unknown destination. She's holding a sistrum, an ancient instrument typically associated with women and either the goddesses Hathor or Bastet. It's a night scene, with a boat on the nile (that she disembarked from, or perhaps someone is trying to catch up with her?), and a temple on the shore across the river. I plan on making her eyes and the sistrum glowing.Oh... I just realized if the moon is just a sliver, as I have it here, there probably wouldnt be much moonlight. Hmmm... perhaps I should make it a full moon or even a gibbous moon, the kind artists rarely paint.
Border with egyptian motif or no? Don't have any pieces with borders, so it could be nice...
hey lis sorry i didnt see this earlier. this is a cool idea, the only thing that is standing out to me is her pose. it looks really unnatural, i think it's mostly the bent arm. maybe if that arm was stretched out a bit, or at least less bent it might look better. the outfit looks great, and I like the extreme sliver of a moon, i don't think you have to worry about the lighting being accurate, that where artistic license comes into play.
ReplyDeletewhich arm, the one holding the sistrum or the other? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteyes the one holding the sistrum.
