Description

Hi Everyone,

Here is a new personal painting I made around 2 weeks ago. It is part of my worldbuilding project, and depicts an Amazigh Sorceress with her flock of desert birds. The ''Hamsa'' emanating from her hand is an ancient symbol to ward off evil spirits, and generally a luck symbol used predominantly by Muslims and Jews.

Let me know what you think!

Best,

JCH

Oh I love the Arab symbols and accessories, you've captured the Muslim/Arab feel of the character well although I'm not sure I recognize any of the the depictions on her sword/stick but I think it still works in a way, nice work!

Thanks! It is actually based on the ancient fertility deity of the meditteranean (where the Hand of Tanit is also inspired by)

Oh really? I had no idea, what's the deity called? I'm Egyptian myself so it's very relevant to me to know that stuff

JoelChaimHoltzman In reply to Shady-Dragon [2019-09-30 19:30:48 +0000 UTC]

the Deity is called ''Tanit'', and is originally from Sumeria, adopted by the Phoenicians and brought over to the Mediterannean, where the indiginous people adopted the faith. Later, with monotheism in the Area, Muslims and Jews adopted the sigil.
