To make their point of view
Couple of things...
A) I set up a Myspace account yesterday. *hangs head in shame* ;) Here's the link. http://www.myspace.com/bluegorgon My focus will always be on LJ, of course, but I've been convinced now that extending BG to Myspace would be a good thing. I want to get it out there. All out there. Myspace is a tool to do that. Although for some reason Myspace makes me think I should start stamping my artwork with SAMPLE and www.bluegorgon.com or something. I dunno, we'll see.
B) One of the pieces I'm working on, the Egyptian Goddess Unut (after whom our Monster boy was named before we knew he was a boy!), has been sitting in Photoshop collecting dust while I've been trying to figure out if she needs a background or not. Always eager for imput, I figured I'd post the inked version and see what everyone else thinks.
Unut is a little known Egyptian goddess, "The Swift One" who was originally a snake goddess and for some reason was eventually transformed into a hare-headed goddess. She was worshipped alongside Thoth (represented here by the Sacred Baboon) in province 15 of Upper Egypt, and she's represented in the cult of Horus and Re but otherwise she's hardly mentioned. What her place was in the Egyptian pantheon is more or less unknown, although it's theorized she was an underworld goddess of some sort. The only Pharoah to ever take her name was Unas the last king of dynasty five who is equally mysterious.
The snake used is a black mamba, one of the fastest snakes in Africa. I thought that was well suited to a goddess known as "The Swift One"
