Description

Here is my vision of Apophis (or Apep, or Aapef, meaning "giant snake"), the great serpent of chaos from Egyptian mythology ! As the local incarnation of evil, he is known for attacking Ra (the sun god) every night, to break the cycle, destroy the divine creation, and plunge the world back into the darkness of nothingness where the Serpent dwelled before the arrival of the gods... And yet, he is always defeated, thanks to the help of Seth, Isis, and Bastet


Maybe the scale pattern could have been tighter on the thicker parts of his body, I don't know... Hope the lightnings look good, too !

Hey. Just found your work. Why don't you do creature design more often? You're clearly really good at it.

Thank you very much ! Currently I'm quite busy with an internship in 2D animation, so I have less time to work on my Mythology designs, but I dedicate a big part of my spare time to it I also prepare future designs, and post the selected sketches that I will later ink and color, to help my public to wait. You probably saw it all if you checked my gallery


I'm also planning to publish them in a mythology encyclopedia of my own

Wait, a mythology encyclopedia? If I wasn't interested in your stuff before, I am now. I really look forward to more stuff. Also, good luck with your internship.

DoctorChevlong In reply to WynautWarrior [2019-08-12 19:25:24 +0000 UTC]

Yes, all the mythology designs I did since two years and the ones I have yet to do will be in this encyclopedia, with all the informations about them, if I actually manage to make it a reality


Thank you, having a well-paid activity besides my character/creature design personal works is a necessity


And thank you for the watch, too !

Glad you like him ! The spikes come from Seth as he appears in the Shin Megami Tensei games (strangely he appears as a black dragon), and the pose is based on Illuyanka's in this same franchise

I saw it ! You decided to make him the brother of Ra in your universe, which is quite original ! You also gave him a human torso, why not, but for such a dark and evil entity associated with black nothingness, the color scheme looks a bit too flashy to me
