Description The "Star Family" or "Nyota Jamaa" are the three primal entities in Bastet werecat mythology. The Werewolves know these beings as the Triat. In the middle is Nala, Mother of all things, representing chaos, raw energy and endless potential. To her left is Rajah, the Maker, representing order, structure and creation. To the right is his dark brother Calash, the Unmaker, representing death and entropy. While these three are in balance, the circle of birth, death and rebirth continues endlessly.

I wasn't able to follow the (scarce) information in the Bastet Sourcebooks about the looks of the three. After all, Nala is said to be formless energy while Calash's fur is so dark that it swallows all light like a black hole, and that would be strange to paint. ^^"

And... I drew glowing animals. I feel so dirty right now.

Your work is, awesome. If you enjoy challenges, and projects involving The Bastet (Mmm, Simba) you could surely paint their Creation Myths.

Maybe the black wolf with fangs a little weird. If you have had such large teeth that appear on the other?

I think you commented on the wrong piece, this one's got no wolves.
And don't worry about your english, it seems fine to me.

Ah okay. Well, Calash is the "god" of destruction, so he can have massive teeth for all I care. x) By the way, evolution did amazing things to real cats' teeth. Take a look at this fellow: [link] [link] or this... [link]
I'm glad these guys aren't around anymore... well, and sad at the same time.

Ahh, this piece is so refreshingly amazing.
the colors and designs are brilliantly chosen, and the expressions and positions show the characters well. Never heard of this myth myself, but they seem like mystical beings indeed.
stunning piece

That's really quite a bit. I guess the easiest way to get the story would be to download *cough* I mean buy the Breed Book Bastet and read the first chapter.
