Description For those who didn't know me from my first account, I used to be egyptfreak1. My greatest love has always been
Egyptian/Kemetic Mythology. I've studied it off my own back since I was 10. 13 years now! One of my favourite Egyptian
deity couples is Thoth and Seshat. Thoth is also married to Ma'at. Ancient Egyptians could have more than one wife. Their 
gods and goddesses, were divine beings, some had animal heads or animal parts. Seshat is the goddess of wisdom,
knowledge and writing. Thoth is the ibis headed god of wisdom, writing, speech, and the moon. In other myths he is 
associated with time, truth and other things.

As powerful as these Egyptian gods (all of them) probably were, I always like
to show characters who aren't normally shown as gentle, as gentle. 

The biggest change on Thoth/Djehuty's design is the hieroglyphics all over his body. Seshat also has them on her hands,
wrists and forearms. As well as her feet, ankles and lower legs. 

I am hoping to colour this soon. The sketch isn't completely finished. But I am pleased with it so far.

Thoth is symbolised by the ibis and dog face baboon. Seshat is symbolised as a leopard, as she wears a leopard skin 
dress (Yet to be detailed). They also have a son together, a lesser known god by the name of Hornub (The Gold Horus). 
A falcon headed god.
