Description
Queen Tera, from Bram Stoker's novel 'The Jewel of Seven Stars'. Another piece in honour of the gothic horror author who died 100 years ago (April 12th 1912).My Dracula: [link]
'The Jewel of Seven Stars' was, I believe, the first book to feature an Egyptian mummy that returns to life following the violation of its tomb.

I hope she doesn't mind gaining a couple of fingers (the character in the book has a seven fingered hand)

Terrific work!!! Have you considered doing an image that would also portray her seven toes? Every illustrator portrays that seven-fingered hand, and nobody ever did the seven-toed foot

Because it doesn't say anything in the story about how many toes she has, as far as I recall.

It actually does: "Seven was to her a magic number; and no wonder. With seven fingers on one hand, and seven toes on one foot".

You're right. My mistake. I must have overlooked that detail. She must have had a hell of a time when buying shoes.

Given that she's from Egypt, I think she wore sandals or went barefoot

Some say it was the inspiration for the 1932 The Mummy. I also see some inspiration for Princess Ahmanet as well.

Flawless, Dash! The added fingers are well done and give it the real creepy, subtle-detail feel of good horror. You've put out an impressive bit of work since I was rolling through here!

Wow! Most excellent! That cat really strikes me as being well done. It looks so photographic! And, hah, honestly I didn't notice that she had seven fingers until you pointed it out.

I have a lot of stocks on my DA, much with my cat. Feel free to look around, maybe something will pop up that will make you want to work on it. Kind of start up your engines.
