S is for Serqet
The Egyptian scorpion goddess was a deity of poisons, snake bites, and obviously, scorpion stings - either dishing out stings to unrighteous jerks or curing the effects of poisonous bites and stings. Serqet was also commonly known as a funerary deity with the delightfully morbid job of protecting embalmed entrails and was considered either a companion to Isis or an aspect of Isis.
Boringly, Serqet was usually portrayed as either a scorpion or a woman with a scorpion on her head. I think she needed a visual upgrade.
As ever, great work.
ReplyDeleteI think the extra segment/joint in her "human" arms is especially brilliant.

finally, i feel like i've been waiting for 'S' for way too long.
ReplyDeleteooo- kinda freaky, but I like it!
ReplyDeleteI love the giant claws, with where they're placed they kind of feel like wings. Great sketch man.
ReplyDeleteHe's back!
ReplyDeleteGreat design too! Would've been a downer if it was just a trace job of a scorpion.
Nice sketch, love the design and the awkwardly cool jointed arms. Thanks for commenting on my blog, I really appreciated the advice! Also it was great to see your work at illuxcon.
ReplyDeleteAll the best,
