Description
... in a bathrobe. *cough*Anyways, this is my character, Dante Mephistos, better known to those of the mythological realms as Set, Seti, Setekh, or the Egyptian god of the desert, chaos, foreigners, and, through a sad twisting of historical events, evil. He's one of the characters I play in a messageboard RPG known as "Deus Insurrectum," and if you'd like to see more of this guy, wander on over to my website.

Set is an amazing god.
I'm a Kemetist, and Set is one of my majors.
Just a question though, wouldn't Set have a shaved head?

Technically, Set would have the head of the Set animal. In this particular picture, it's set in a different time period, so the shaved head isn't a historical necessity. For the rest of my pictures of Set that are set in Ancient Egypt... well, it's mostly aesthetics for me.

Well, in human form most gods are depicted with shaved heads, since in Ancient Egypt shaved heads were signs of high status, as there were a lot of bugs.
What time period was it?

Yep, but I keep mine with hair because that how I like drawing them. It's my personal preference.
In this particular picture, I don't remember the time period I was aiming for, but it's post 1000AD and isn't in Egypt, so draw your own conclusions there.

Still good nonetheless. Ever considered drawing the Set animal. Not a request, just a question.
Well whatever works I guess.

I have given it a few tries, but I haven't gotten the Set animal looking the way I want just yet.

i always love to see textured fabric on peoples characters. shows depth. i think it looks too smudged along the folds. i know you were trying to make it look more 3D there but there must be another way to accomplish it. i like how the character is facing away from the viewer with only his head turned down and towards us. that pose could go either way for a good or evil character. appropriate for a god of chaos. the colors fit nicely with the pic and i like the overall red theme. i also like the textured look on the wall in the background. the floor would have looked a little better if we could see the lines that seperate the wook planking i think. unless that's not the floor material.

I really love the way this is colored, and your perspective is awesome as well. Very nicely done.
