Description
I just love how this one came out.. as it should be, for taking me literally all day to do.
This one is for Blue Lotus. Shes a totally cool chicka who I have much in common with... we share of love of astrology and a passion for ancient Egypt. So naturally, I had to make an Egyptian type pic for her.
The name may seem weird... but its my favorite Egyptian name of all. Some even say that Smenkhare, a Pharaoh who reigned right after Akenaten, was really Queen Nefertiti in disguise as a man. Women werent allowed to rule solitarily or as Pharaohs... the entire history of Egypt only boasts 6 in total.

On average, I do about one a day (sorta like vitamins giggles) sometimes, I can pull off two.... tho theyre usually more simple than this. This one literally took me almost 12 hrs to do tho (off and on)... that is by no means quick LOL
Yeah fantastic.I think she will love it.:-)Great work.
Fantastic composition, the background works perfect with the character. Although its not shown in the image, i cant help imagining the desert, can almost hear its sounds at night and smell the fresh air :) Excellent work!!
I so love the colors, and the incredible walking in the water pose. I think that this is so fantastic! I really think that she will love this, the image matches so well.
I'm so sorry hon for taking so long to get to my ebots! And what a glorious find! Thank you sooooo much for this incredible piece of work! Yes, I believe she was in disguise...but not unknowingly among the aristocracy! Only the common people were unaware...as usual...sigh, some things never change! :D This is going on my desktop!!
