Description

This is another in my African/Eastern mythology series. Lisa is the Nigerian Sungoddess - twin sister of Mawu, the goddess of the moon. Both are the children of the eternal snake who holds his tail in his mouth. I find these myths so fascinating because unlike Greek and Roman mythology, very little has been done artistically on these characters, which leaves a lot of leeway for artistic liberties. As goddess of the sun, in African lore, Lisa is seen as both the goddess of creation and destruction. Without her nothing can grow but she is also the goddess of fire and destruction. For those who are interested, go back to my gallery and check out the two versions of Mawu. The texture for the MFD is by kandacewright. And if I've forgotten anyone in my credits, please forgive me and let me know in a comment or IM. I do always want to give credits, especially to those very generous artists who provide such beautiful models and texture for free. Thanks guys! Thanks for your comments on my last post, they are all greatly appreciated.
