[Hazzard]

Hehe i was just looking at that site for references Davi. The Norse god page is also interesting stuff. Unfortunatly im waiting for class to start away from home with no equipment or paper not even a pen someone might have left in the room by accident :'(

[Mr Man]

This isnt a god as such but it is related with egyption mythology. Please give me some hints on how i could improve this.

[Kirt]

Bast is the Egyptian Goddess and protector of cats, women and children. She is Goddess of sunrise. Her goddess duty changed over the years, but, she is also known as a goddess of love, fertility, birth, music and dance.

I'll finish this up in the morning (if I get enough sleep). Just thought I'd post up saying, "I'm baaaaack ..."

[Nadim]

Crocodiles are no longer found in Egypt - Sorry Mr Man!
Okay :D this is Sobek
And these may help :

@Signature: HEY THAT LOOKS LIKE A HIPPIE EGYPTIAN GOD!! :D

@Mr Man: LOOKS LIKE SOBEK....

@Kirt: THATS GREAT!! I LOOK FOWARD FOR THE COLORS!!


BYEE.......................

[Johannes]

Hello
I were at a "meeting" had sneaked at the topic but had no refs or real knowledge of egypt gods, so I faked it - something about a crocodile guy/stargate crossover :D

Mr man - I guess I did the same guy?
Kirt - thats sweet:)
Sabre - I get the stargate feel inn this one
Signature - has she stamped that frog to death? ;)

pen, ballpoint, ink, about 1.5 hours (I dunno exactly, it was 2 large coffes worth o time ;) )

[Cybot Floor]

kirt: and i almost feared, its abnormal to think cats are somehow sexy... :cat;

mr man: the idea of a human-aligator is good, but the elephant-feet doesnt fit. perhaps you should also lower the head - he looks very violative with that exposed throat...
and you can post a bit bigger pics.

saber: fav so far, although theres no big choice ;)

johannes. impressive! but the eye is a bit lost in all that ... things on his nose.

byhand-sketch, coloradjusted in PS. i think, i will color that one later.
Feedback please :)

[Kartoffel]

Since I like villians, i did an evil god:
Seth
(took me about half an hour in photoshop)
http://web703.athen023.server4free.de/digi/seth.jpg

davi: I like the rendering of -whatever it is- leeches, snakes, eggs?

sabre: The picture is good, even if I think glowing eyes with flashes comming out of them shouldn't be part of egyptian gods -not that I have seen any gods in real life so that I could tell you how the look like. So its just my personal opinion.

Kirt: Wow, i really love this picture.

[Mr Man]

I thought i would try and do a neater pic, i might shade it in later. Its a pity the edges look jagged from the camera. You wouldnt believe how long it took me to colour in that bit of the eye.(it wasnt with a felt pen)
http://img21.photobucket.com/albums/v63/mrswoman/god_one.jpg

Kirt:: Thats the pic that inspired me to start again lol.

Johannes:: Great detail, althought it looks more greek than egyption. Still fantastic tho.

SABRE:: Nice effects of light there.

davi:: excellent shine to those wormy things.

[detonum]

This didnt go too well, but..
Ra (the sun)

http://www.planetsideimages.com/uploads/ra-egyptiangod2.jpg

[Mr Man]

BTW: My first picture is based on the part Crocodile, part Lion and part hippo beast from the eygption story of traveling to the afterlife. They way your heart before you enter the afterlife and if your heart is unbalanced this beast will devour you. I forgot his name tho.
Im glad you noticed that the head was a croc anyway LOL and those legs dont do it any favors. :D

[Signature]

Mr Man
Ammut I guess!? Now I get it! Good work.
It is too small though!

[kaptah]

http://www.sannahellstrom.com/cg/horus.jpg

[Railboy]

Davi - Awesome. My girlfriend doesn't understand how you can get things to look so shiny and gross. :)

[Virg]

man davi.. whats going on in your head :)
amazing.. nice work ppl
ill do one later

[mjw4745276]

Interesting thing there Davi. What is it?

Kaptah: I like yours good use of colour, excellent feel of depth.

Good DSG Topic.

[Matt Smith]

Davi thats a really nice piece, I was wondering about how long does it take you to create your work?

[tharmine]

Here is Isis, God of Magic

[Wednesday]

http://img3.photobucket.com/albums/v12/awednesday/Untitled-1aaaa.jpg

hi,
at school right now, this was done with a mouse on what appears to be a donated obsolute computer given to those inner city schools. Nice work all around.

[Cybot Floor]

scumworks: his back is really felicitous. why not show his front now? ;)

davi: admit, the whole trick is not to say anything about your pic ;) the reed is... wow. not to mention that burl-thing.

kartoffel: i like it! i only miss his mouth. it somehow looks irritating under his beak...

detonum: good concept. i like the head - but the changeover from human body to bird-neck is a bit abrupt. looks, as if he wears a mask (or is that intention?)

kaptah: how many did coca cola pay? and i even think, that is a marlboro there in his mouth ;)
No, that one is really great. Great idea, too. and the lightning! New favourite :)

tharmine: cool pic. but a bit too bright imo. try to adjust the contrast or the brightness.
Is that bg also by you?

wednesday: wow - your always good for some variety :) it looks very wet - is that rain?

http://www.arcor.de/palb/alben/44/555744/1024_3265343363616461.jpg

is my first sketch so bad, that nobody dares to say something?

its quite frustrating being completly ignored.

[Hermchen]

http://home.arcor.de/hermchen/postingstuff/DSG/349egyptgod.jpg

Qetesh goddess of love and beauty.

I'll comment later on.
@(Davi and Wednesday): What are your god's names?

[elevenrequiem]

davi - excellent image. great mood and atmosphere and i love the rendering of the little wormy thing.

kaptah - you have a great sense of color and realism.

hermchen - that lion is badass for sure.. and the colors really flow, awesome drawing.

here's mine.. i just got painter a few days ago so i'm still in the experimental phase. so far, i've really enjoyed using the oil pastels.

[Catapult Beetle]

Osiris, peeved about something. Just a sketch, I was trying to work on the basic form... though looking at it now, the pose isn't as dramatic as I wanted it to be. Oh well.

http://img20.photobucket.com/albums/v60/CatapultBeetle/osirissketch.jpg

[davi]

that's more replies than i thought i'd ever get for this.

it was about 30 minutes. the god is Sobek(man with crocodile head). The slug/worm/leechs were just something i thought up out of the blue to make the location look more interesting. Glad you enjoyed it. I might do alittle more on the body of Sobek, i kind of rushed it.

good luck everyone and thanks.

[brawkstake]

Sekhmet, destructive Sun Goddess, sent down to earth to feast on men, developed a taste fore blood (thanx for the links davi).. googled the lionhead
http://img9.photobucket.com/albums/v24/brawkstake/sekhmerdsg.jpg
nice work all!
kaptah, railboy, Hermchen awesome!

[Gumdrop]

Real quick and dirty today. It's that godess of the dead chick... I forget her name now. :rolleyes:

http://bluntedtaffer.50megs.com/DSG/DSG349_EgyptianGod.jpg

Kirt - very nice character and lines, but her left hand is upside down if she's mean't to be doin' the sand dance. ;)

davi - Is that a lemming I see? Sweet moist worms.

kaptah - yeah... must get hot wearing that head gear. great character.

Cybot Floor - Real nice looking and great colours.

Hermchen - Drop the dame and cut to the lion. Awesome stuff!!! Actually the woman is really nice too. Love the jewelry and colours.

brawkstake - great pencils.

[Bretton]

i usually dont like egyptian stuff but there was a lot of good entries today so i did one too.

http://img6.photobucket.com/albums/v16/bretton/khepri.jpg

egyptian sun god Khepriwith a scarab for a head.

edit: i shouldve given the body some love.

thx gumdrop. i`ll sleep well, now ;)
yours is really creepy. but i think the lights in both`eyes and especially that in her mouth are disadvantageous...

[Snowball]

Hello everybody, great works people! I decided to do my sketch on "Osiris" Egyptian god of the underworld and of vegetation. He is holding his "crook and flail" and wearing atop his head a "atef". From what I have read he is known to be dressed as of a mummy, and normally has green skin hence "vegetation". I have definate foreshortening problems with both arms, but I had fun doing this.
http://img5.photobucket.com/albums/v14/Snowball/Art/Osiris.jpg
Davi and Brawstake I really enjoyed your pieces.
Great work everybody!

Yep. Couldn't agree more, but I fouled up the lips and blagged it becouse I wanted to finish under 15min's. How terrible is that?! :rolleyes:

[Hunger_Artist]

wednesday - wow...we are so hardcore :D

Davi- cool lighting on teh worms

13minutes, and some...

[Fipse]

So here is my DSG for today. It´s Anat, an ancient egyptian goddess of War, Sex and Fertility. No nerve for digital painting today so just a coloured pencil-drawing:

http://www.kriegsherren-von-og.de/dsg/anat.jpg

Nice pictures overall. My personal favourite is kaptahs´ god on break. But there´s are some other good stuff around. I´ve got to say that I first thought Davi´s crocodile god was one of his dreaded penguins - now in egypt on a mission :D. HungerArtist as I told some time before you´re developing a very unique own style (what is imho a good thing!). Bretton´s for not liking egypt I like your piece very much - would make a good alien.

Fipse

[Carnifex]

[Sara]

This is my first post in dsg and I hope to do many more. Single I have had time to make fast pic, 40 min, but i can´t lose the occasion, to me enchants Anubis, the chacal God. Good I don´t speak more and I put the drawing.

http://www.saramanzano.com/CA/dsg/anubisrage.jpg

Kirt, love your style .
Railboy, cool work, I like much.
Bretton, I like your pic, very original.
P.D.: pardon by my English.
P.D2.: I have other Anubis in my web

[digitalgannon]

hey! this is very first DSG post, thank you mike and oregano for telling me about this fun thread. Heres a qucik 1 minute sketch, I will try to color it up by deadline.
http://digitalgannon.com/eg.jpg

[Matt Smith]

Hey everyone, here is my pic of the Egyptian goddess Qetesh, tell me what you all think.

http://www.mattksmith.com\qetesh.jpg

[Railboy]

Matt Smith - good proportions, shading and musculature for the most part. Her head could use some work around the eyes though, and it's kind of small in general... it doesn't quite fit on her shoulders. There's also something strange going on where her hair falls on the snake as it comes out from behind her arm.

Freakt - There's something about your style that makes me want to keep looking at this picture. Can't put my finger on it. I'm interested in seeing your next one.

[Iotrez]

Hi, this guys working on Anubis.

Ok I admit it, I just put in the ears afterwards to try and make it look a bit like Anubis.

Nice work everyone.

See you tomorrow.:thumbsup:

[SABRE]

PD: SOMEONE KNOW A GOOD TUTORIAL FOR NEWBIES ON PAINTER??

[Thrash]

I like boobies

[Beatnik]

Had a lot of fun with this one. She is Taweret, the Goddess of childbirth.

"The Great One". Egyptian hippopotamus goddess and protective deity of childbirth. She was depicted with the head of a hippopotamus, the legs and arms of a lion, the tail of a crocodile, human breasts, and a swollen belly. This appearance was meant to frighten off any spirits that might be harmful to the child.

Thanks davi for the link

Hey Digital. Good to see you here. Your T-Dome landscape absolutely rocks, guy. Follow the T-Dome link below people and check it out. His critter is pretty cool too.

[SicFrost]

Anubis here!!!!

[Shelldragon]

hey i'm new here, sorry if I upload this wrong. :p

anyway, this is My horus. Most gods are portrayed as magnificent and glorious. My dictation of this topic is that a god can be helpless and vulernable if he is no longer believed in. This here is a dying god, plain and clear.http://gallery.cybertarp.com/albums/userpics/10594/a%20fallen%20god.jpg

also i'm a little confused about the rules.... it says if there is sexual content or nudity you need to post just the link instead of posting the image with it. Obviously there is plenty of the nudity thing going on here - especially with that lioness goddess but they aren't linked that way. Mine also is not linked that way as I do not see how I should post the link if everyone else is not. Please clarify this rule.

[digitalgannon]

hey Oregano Thanx man! i really appreciate it.

Ok heres an update, i will try to finish it if i have time...time to get dinner...
Quick edit here: I did a quick *speed finish on it* Total time was about 45mins on and off. Thanx this was fun, i look forward to the next!

the goddess, bast
20 minutes
man, i am just loving everything on here you guys

[Dahsramu]

Hermchen - :eek: woah!!! that is so beautiful... I cant stop staring at that ... the strokes are brilliant! :D :D

Davi - your junks is most pimpliscious! :Pimp: i'm digging the cross-hatching in your works... do you sketch pencil first then scan or do you just do it digital... ?

DigitalGannon - oooh i was really feelin the b/w version but that colored one is toooight!!!!

And to all you mackdaddies and mackmommas out there that drew anubis - high fives all around. Thats the coolest Egyptian god out there (no offense to those that follow the ancient egyptian religion)... All you guys did excellent jobs!

SABRE - ure first pic has an excellent atmosphere and "feel" but your second pic has a better character design. Wow!

Mr Man - lets see some shading!

Sara - that's sick! would look scarier if you threw in some claws!

sic8sic8 - thats the buffest anubis i've ever seen. I'm diggin the weathered papyrus drawing feel of it!

One more thing - I'm very happy with the amount of nakedness in the submissions today (especially the breasts)! Keep it up kids!! more BOOBS everyday!!!!! heheh sorry.

Here's my junks. I didnt have time to get too crazy with the colors and that stupid blue ball has no glow around it but I had no more time to work on this. Its tough fitting in time to draw when you got a super-busy day.... *passes out*

A late entry again. Drawing number two with a palette and Photoshop. A little less frustrating this time.

Introducing my version of Ra.

http://www3.sympatico.ca/michael.macvicar/michael/mm_dsg_02.jpg

Kaptah - Love the editorial quality of your piece.

Hermchen - Nice work on the lion's head and the colours are excellent.

[S.C. Watson]

This pic has got *issues* in the most serious kind of way.

gak. ohwall, so much for an off night.

I quit, so here it is. Good work everyone. I would go through and comment, but I'm fried.

[shadoman]

A damn good DSG, especially after alot of Thunderdome submissions...

About an hour using B pencils and clean up in PS.
http://www.shawnadomanis.com/dsg/dsg349.jpg

Kirt - Very nice and clean ink work. Good to see you back. Digital or traditional?
Sabre -
(1)Very sketchy, but you know, it works. The staff is neat.
(2)I like the second post too. I still like the first one better though.
Johannes - Very nice pencil and ink work. Legs look a little short though.
Davi - That worm-thing takes the prize... it's the offspring of the God.
kaptah - Very nice lighting on the, er, uh, God. Look what I got under my helmet...
tharmine - I love the background. What that painted or rendered by you? Your take on Isis is great too, but she looks very flat, especially with that light radiating from her hand. The neckthing looks like it has depth, but the stomach and dress do not.
Hermchen - So nice... no other words necessary.
Railboy - Wow. Creeepy. Looks like something out of Metroid.
brawkstake - This one took the cake man. So badass!!
Gumdrop - Eerie and gritty.
Bretton - I wish you would have finished. The scarab looks good.
Snowball - Osiris is cool. The hands look way too small though and his left arm looks too stiff and short, as the angle is off a bit.
Sara - Very nice first post. Welcome. I really like the blurriness of portions of the headress. Was that intentional?
Matt Smith - Sexy. Photo or girlfriend reference? Hahah.
Iotrez - Freaking, Alice in Wonderlandishly weird as usual... don't stop! I really like the shadows that fall on the sculpture.
Thrash - Very nice. The radial gradiation out from behind her head really adds to it.
sic8sic - If this piece was finished I would love it more. Really cool though, especially the "necktie".
Dahsramu - Kickass Witchblade-type hands.
trevor - That is very cool. How do you guys do this in 15 minutes!!! DAMN YOU ALL...

Wow! That was alot of handcramps.

Til tomorrow.

[JeniThus]

This is Hatmehyt. The Beginning. Fish goddess of the delta of the Nile.
http://www.squidartjen.com/fishgoddess.jpg

[Railboy]

Shadowman - Wow, something out of Metroid... that's an unexpected comment, but strangely appropriate, I must say! It's a throwback to my old, non-DSG style.

Trevor - very nice.

[jasond]

I went with Selket (scorpion-goddess) for this one...
Unfortunately I don't have enough time tonight to finish it to my liking (I wasted too much time making the body look nice)...
I still like the idea though!

http://img17.photobucket.com/albums/v50/monkeygecko/Scorpion.jpg

[Myriadian]

Just edit the post with the new URL to the resized image.

It's looking great, guys and gals. Really, very unique thoughts out there, and it's fun browsing this thread. I would've put mine up today, however the computer which has my scanner decided to be evil and not scan. But that doesn't matter, I had more time enjoying the pictures!

[Shinbun Kakashi]

Ok now....hehehe

After the old religion died out Anubis, the god of death and embalming, needed to find a new job. Figured pickle salesman would be next logical step (well after funeral home caretaker)

http://volcano.photobucket.com/albums/v11/SeabiVenus/Demon%20SLayer/Anubis_Final.jpg

Hopefully this turned out better!

~Shin :D

[Kirt]

Finished coloring my image. Although I think I liked it better as line art. I need more color practice. Luckily there's the DSG!

http://www.kirtstanke.com/images/dsg349.jpg

Comments:

Mr Man - good to hear that I inspired someone, keep at it dude!
Cybot - I'm more of a dog person.
Davi - Slimey but cool! I wish I had your sense of color.
kaptah - LOL! Egyptian theme park?
Hermchen - Nice style and amazing brush work.
Railboy - The brain ball rocks!
Hunger_Artist - Original idea. Love the sketchy style of your drawings.
Sara - Powerful!
Iotrez - Nice environment, it's giving me vertigo.
Thrash - BOOBIES!! Who wouldn't like em?
sic8sic - Awesome! Most bad ass Anubus for sure.
-Que- - Nice but it looses the style below the neck.
trevor - Wicked!

ooops forgot one ...
shadoman - it's digital. Alias Sketchbook Pro, desktop w/Wacom.
