Finally done!

Geb and Nut are the egyptian gods of Earth -Geb- and Sky -Nut-. Both children of Shu and Tefenet (also brothers).
Geb and Nut fell so deeply in love that they used to remain always embracing each other, not allowing anything to grow or live between them. Their grandfather Ra, jealous of their love, ordered their father Shu -the Air- to separate them. Also, Ra forbid Nut to give bitrth to Geb's children any day of the year.

Sad, isn't it? - btw, she manages to have the children, who will be Osiris, Haroeris, Seth, Isis and Neftis. But she'll never be able to touch her beloved again without crushing the whole world...
...let's hope she'll be able to contain herself... =_=

I hope you could understand all the story. I'm not very good with english... Just in case, here is a link to Mr.Wikipedia's explanation: [link] [link]
...And some other links to this mith: [link] [link]

I loved this legend since I was a child. Hope you like the pic!

It's criminal how they were kept apart.

It is interesting that the Sky is a goddess and the Earth is a god. Β Usually it's the other way around.Β

I'm glad you like it, and the myth too. I think it's one of the most interesting ones in egyptian mythology ^^

Did you make other drawings about myths ?

LadyChestnut In reply to Miss-Lithana [2009-11-11 07:17:27 +0000 UTC]

No, for the moment I haven't drawn any other myth Do you think it would be interesting to make a series about egyptian (and other) myths? It would be a very pleasing challenge! *artist senses tikling*

Miss-Lithana In reply to LadyChestnut [2009-11-11 19:40:23 +0000 UTC]

Of course ! It would be very interesting !
Thanks to you, people can discover other myths. And maybe, you will discover some myths if you don't know them yet.

Ah, that would be a really cool project!

...

...Gah, you already got me thinking about which other myths I could draw... xD Expect something alike in the future! (now I'm quite busy, but it's a too nice idea to let it pass ^^) Thank you for the idea!

Wow....!

You did a great job on this picture. The glitter in the ghost girl's hair is so beautiful.

I would love to critique this, but I can't find anything that needs to be worked on! I really admire you.

I also like how the girl's hair went ^^ Sometimes the things you don't work a lot become the best ones, don't know why...
