Leaving the watermark off of this so it can be critiqued better. NO STEALIE >
 23. Cat I decided I finally had to break down and draw Bast/Bastet. She's my all time favorite mythological deity (cats + goddess = instant awesome), even above Nemesis, who I think kicks ass. She's also cool because she's a lot like Artemis in the fact that she's a wild goddess. Well, being part cat that comes with the job I think. So I had to draw her prowling around the back alleys at night (she's also the moon goddess) looking for trouble. I didn't give her cat ears because I felt it would make the cat thing too 'in your face' obvious, the tail is just more subtle to me. Even though I wanted to pierce her big ol' cat ears, I opted for giving her a lip piercing instead. Anyway, I'm surprised with how well the perspective in this turned out. I was expecting to fail at it miserably. Even so, critique is more than welcome. I think I may end up painting this digitally and adding it to my portfolio. What say you? I was also going to make this a more modern interpretation of her, but I couldn't resist making her Egyptian and exotic looking. Does it work or should I change it? And I didn't put on the mature warning because she's not really showing anything... even though she almost is  Reference: [link]  has permission to display this work Comments
 First of all, the amount of detail you put into this piece deserves a big WOW!
 Her proportions are good, though it appears that her torso is a little bit long. (People really do come in that shape, so don't worry about it.) Her right hand and her left foot could use a little more work, but who doesn't have trouble with hands and feet? About that railing you had trouble with: a shadow on the wall could help define it better. You put a lot of effort into shading this, and it's very lovely, but please don't be afraid to use darker shadows. Great job!-- [link] ~fantasy webcomic! Art by me, story by Nick and Jon.~ Stop that, or I shall be forced to foreshorten you. I see Tylweth Teg. Thanks a lot! Yes, her torso is rather long, I'll see about correcting that when I paint her. A shadow would definitely help the railing
 I don't know why I didn't think of that  thanks again, I'll take that into reference when I'm painting her.-- Twin Spinsters - Ionadh-sisceal.com Are you a writer? Want to get feedback and talk to other writers? Click here! Good luck with the painting! ^_^
-- [link] ~fantasy webcomic! Art by me, story by Nick and Jon.~ Stop that, or I shall be forced to foreshorten you. I see Tylweth Teg.  As I said before, this is kick ass xD The shading and detail are exceedingly well done. The only thing that looks out of place, is the end of the staff...Then again maybe the dog god Anubis was using it as a chew toy xD
You know the Greeks considered Artemis and Bastet to be one in the same x-P -- I'm a Yorioden Samurai Trooper/ Ronin Warrior fanfiction author, and proud of it! LegendsGuardian author of "The Gathering of the Legends" series XD thanks! And you're right, it is... weird looking. It's supposed to be the railing, turning and connecting with the building. It does indeed need work. *makes note of that*
And ya, I did know I read that while looking her up to find out what all she was associated with and I'm like >.> no wonder I like her!-- Twin Spinsters - Ionadh-sisceal.com Are you a writer?
