Inspiration from Egyptian 1

If you ever read books about Ancient Egypt, you must have a little bit knowledge about their gods and goddess.
Especially the famous Osiris, Isis and Horus.

Egyptian are really good story tellers. Their myth and legends are far more interesting than the novels now a day. Each of the character had been given a story, to make them alive. And somehow, these stories and characters have become the inspirations of lots of artists.

Osiris,Isis and Horus are one family. They are the most famous god and goddess among those 2000+ gods and goddess.

And so, there's a lot of "fanart" of them.

This is an artwork derived from The legend of Isis and Osiris. It is a valuable Pharaonic myth written in about 4000 BC. ,and is -like most of the ancient Egyptian legends- closely linked to religious beliefs and worship of the sun and the glorification of the River Nile.

This artist used dot drawing to complete this artwork. Isis is saving his husband, try to revive him. And we can clearly see their son, Horus, from the wing of Isis.
I like the emotion of Isis, it looks so harmony and she's showing the affection of a wife and mother.

 Does this look familiar? Yes, this is the concept art from Age of Mythology!
One of the character that you can choose to play in Egypt tribe is Isis.
I like this Isis, she looks so strong.

This is an artwork from Daren Bader. I love the background, especially the front part. With the fire's affection and the reflection of the water, it makes Isis looks so illusion.

And Seth, Osiris's younger brother, killed Osiris to take over his throne. At the end he was defeated by Osiris's son, Horus. And he was banished from the kingdom, become the god of chaos in the desert.
 
This artwork really shows the frantic and cruelty of Seth.

I'll share more artists' artwork in the next post :D
