Description The ancient Egyptian goddess of cats.

Meow!

I know she was depicted as either a cat or a woman with the head of a cat or a lioness... Which my painting isn't... But she is holding a cat! And wearing a crown with cat ears! She's also carrying a sistrum, a special rattle, because she was linked to music and dance. Yay!

Painted in watercolour.

I frankly ignored the ancient interpretation of hte goddes of cats. This is a wonderful work. I love the ancient canvas like look that it gives off since there is a brownish tinge to the work as if there is rust or stone involved.The work itself is very well drawn. I love hte eyes and the reflection within them and the lashes look so wonderful with the seperate hair easily seen. The shades and the detail added are wonderfully done although I forgot once again what the symbol on the arm means. An object of same shape (I might have seen it in a game or movie) was in a dream of which I have made a sketch... it is also on DA. Forgetting that, this is a really good work

I feel so humble right now. This was such a lovely, long, thought out comment. Thank you so much. It means a lot. You are so nice! ^_^

I think you are talking about the Ankh symbol. In hieroglyphs it literally means "life" but I'm pretty sure there's more to it then that. It was often used in art in Ancient Egypt, but people still seem to love it.
I'm curious about your dream and your drawing! Can you please share a link to it?

You are welcome and I personally liked it enough to give it such a comment no exageration on my part! and thank you for your compliments ^^

Ah yes... the Ankh symbol (Ankh in my language, if pronounced directly, literally means eye). The dream I drew is [link] although you won't see the symbol. It is supposed to be in the hands of a girl who is behind all these creatures ho sacrificed herself for me... it was a strange dream. But I ain't that awesome an artist

You keep on working hard! I would love to see more of your works

Thanks again! You're so nice!
That's interesting about Ankh meaning Eye! But maybe I'm just geeky.
I'll check out your drawing now. That sounds like a sad dream, but kind of awesome, I can understand why you felt the need to draw it. ^_^
