Description This is my entry for the Cleopatra-contest by

BACKGROUND:

A few days after Marc Anthony commited suicide, on August 12th 30BC, Cleopatra also died by snakebite (also suicide). The ancient sources generally agree that she had two asps hidden in a fig basket so as she was eating she would never know when she would die.

Cleopatra tested various deadly poisons on condemned persons and animals for daily entertainment. She concluded that the bite of the asp was the best way to die. It brought a sleepiness and heaviness without spasms of pain. Yet some people think that Cleopatra was bitten by a horned viper. This is unlikely because the venom is not very toxic.

With her dead the last dynasty of Ancient Egypt comes to an end.


SCENE:

This manipulation shows cleopatra just before her last meal. She isn't sure if she wants to go for it. She's wandering....

I have a question to the snake she wears between her eyebrows, where did you buy it?

I love that she looks young, because she was. And the copper snake on her forehead is pretty.

Her chin, in the fullview, seems staticky.

I like it alot!

This is absolutely beautiful! I love how you incorporated the asp on her forehead as her headdress I'm guessing. Very nice closeup of Cleopatra. Beautiful model. I love the hieroglyphics.
