Book Cover for Nile Valley Civilization
I plan to use this as an illustration for a non-fiction project I've started yesterday. It'll be a historical overview of the ancient Nile Valley civilization of Egypt and Nubia, starting from its Mesolithic roots around 7500 BC, going through the Egyptian Old and New Kingdoms, and ending with the Nubian Meroitic period at 350 AD. I will be writing for an interested lay audience in mind, so my project should be accessible to anyone when I finish.

Honestly, writing non-fiction is easier for me than fiction. You don't have to worry about characterization or plot structure as much, for all you really need to do is relay information.

That's just a few examples, anyway.

Persephone
In Greek mythology Persephone was the daughter of Zeus and Demeter. She was also kidnapped by Hades as his bride and forced to stay in the underworld for half the year for consuming some sort of fruit there. It is actually a good myth though, and I recommend anyone interested to find a few synopses of the story and read them.

This is a painting of some flowers I did in art class a few years ago. I entered it in an art show, and even had it framed!

Everything is awesome ! ! I still need to put the finishing touches on my tree painting.
I wish supplies were not so expensive.

Me too, though I will do art with whatever I have on hand I am addicted. I draw with just about anything I can get my hands on. But I really want to see your tree painting finished XD

Woman
Have not done digital art in a while. Been lazy and not wanted to dig out my bamboo tablet. I did this on Corel Draw. Simple, but I kind of liked it.

Here's a picture of a cat that I drew. I used a picture from a book for inspiration.

A digital painting I did today of the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis from the Evil Dead films, a book bound in human flesh and inked in blood.

"Legend has it that it was written by the dark ones.
Necronomicon Ex-Mortis, roughly translated, book of the dead.
The book served as a passageway to the evil worlds beyond.
It was written long ago, when the seas ran red with blood.
It was this blood that was used to ink the book."

Here is a picture of a rose that I did recently.

Neith the Nubian Archer
This started out as practice with drawing from a photo reference. As an artist, I have found that using references when creating art can do wonders for your characters' anatomy. This character, an archer from ancient Nubia, is named for an Egyptian goddess of hunting and warfare.

Tabua the Sea Dragon
An intended antagonist for Neith, Tabua is the draconian avatar of a Melanesian sorceress who works for a gang of pirates, and she uses her dragon form to help them break into towns for plunder and terrorize the locals. Tabua may use her colossal head as a battering ram and shoot scalding water from her blowhole, among other powers. Tabua's name translates to "whale's tooth" in the Fijian language, and her design incorporates components of a sperm whale, great white shark, and a crocodile. She is around twelve to fifteen meters (or forty to fifty feet) long in dragon form, but her human form is said to be incongruously beautiful.

Will O' Wisp

I really like fey creatures and the Will O Wisps where small beings of light that could either guide mortals to safety, or their doom.

Alien Cat
Here is a picture of an alien cat that I drew. I was inspired by the TV show ALF.
