Description
This is a part of my new big project, a very long frieze featuring all (or most) of the gods of all (or most) of the ancient cultures.In this part you can see from the left to the right:
-Oxossi (see part VI)
-Medeina (crouching, see part VI)
-Cernunnos, the mighty celtic god of nature, animals and forests;
-Mielikki (sitting), a finnish goddess of the forest and protectress of the animals;
-Khonvoum the great hunter, creator god of the Mbuti Pigmy tribes
-Skadi (see part VIII)

this just crosses my mind..why all male in dress n the female naked? ok, u have xplained to me before -> " Some deities , mostly nature deities, have no clothes to emphatize the link with free nature; some other (mostly classical gods and goddesses) have none because this is the way they were represented in the old times. " means the male will also come naked, so far only apollo is naked, not really naked coz he still has his cloak on...
n mielikki, i think that her upper body is too skinny? coz i can see her ribs n why she has a sad face?

Naked gods will definetely come, if that is so important to you... I wanted to represent Mielikki as quite skinny to underline her gentle and ethereal essence; she is sad because she holds a partridge with a broken wing (Mielikki is said to keep care of the animals of the forest and heal them from their wounds).

Great job once again; the highlight of this part is definitely Khonvoum.
I once again applaud your attention to detail

I am glad you like the little Khonvoum; I feared he was not enough outlined from the background, so that he was not very visible. But if you says it's ok I am satisfied!
