REMAKEREMODEL: Sekhmet by shoomlah

There are some awesome redesign contests over on Warren Ellis' forum every once in a while and, while I watched from afar, I've never had time to participate... But who am I to resist Egyptian mythology, COME ON.

The idea for this particular challenge was to do a modern day version of Sakhmet, as she might appear in comics. I took a bit of a high fashion route in interpreting her traditional garb (read: ZIPPERS EVERYWHERE ZIPPERS), and what the hell! I like it.

Cool looking. Funny coincidence, one of my original super villains is named and based off of this particular Egyptian Goddess.

I have a tattoo of this drawing

She's the other half of Hathor cow Goddess of love, Sekhmet is all, bloody revenge on whoever threatens those Hathor loves. Typical duel-aspect Goddess. "Hell hath no wrath like a woman scorned" meets Mama Bear protecting her cubs. Love the face, the body (the colour of the body), the pose & the winding smoke really polishes it off... don't hate the clothes but I don't love them either.

Okay. When I get my own little nook in my own little house I am buying prints of your work and pasting them all over my walls. Your work is amazing.

Stunning! You truly give this pantheon justice

By the gods, this is absolutely beautiful. I may be putting my foot in my mouth, but what about Bastet? Now that...eh...Sorry I may be gushing. I just adore the clothing you decided to give her. It's absolutely beautiful.

GEN-12 Featured By Owner Dec 2, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Nice I see this pic even in

it 's so nice they decline all my pics with human amazons and feel free to accept pic with an Egyptian Goddess - quite far from amazon theme.

shoomlah Featured By Owner Dec 2, 2012 Professional Digital Artist

*shrugs* they added it, not me- looks like their theme is just about powerful women, not Amazons in particular. I don't know what to tell you.

GEN-12 Featured By Owner Dec 2, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

I thought u're in the charge there. Fouder or smb else...

shoomlah Featured By Owner Dec 2, 2012 Professional Digital Artist

I have never heard of the group before today, I'm afraid.

Kalilak11 Featured By Owner Dec 2, 2012 Student Digital Artist

Great design choice. She has a strong silhouette and a good color theme.

Sketchy-Nic Featured By Owner Dec 2, 2012 Professional Digital Artist

Aonasis Featured By Owner Dec 2, 2012 Student Digital Artist

WOW.
This is just so inspiring! You managed to make this look modern without giving away the godly aura! Just great

Naiko-Morei Featured By Owner Dec 2, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Very cool, I can imagine this in animation form.

HyenaTeeth Featured By Owner Dec 2, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Very cool. In particular, I dig her whiskers. But she looks prepared to kick some asses. Seeing more of the Egyptian pantheon like this would be awesome.
