Custom Question & Need Opinion!!

[paint_kitty]

I haven't worked on this custom for a while. I have been thinking it over and over and I can't think of what exactly to use for the symbol. She is a G3 Butterscotch rehaired with black hair and gold tinsil. The theme is an Egyptian Princess. Any ideas??

Now this is a little off topic, but I would like your opinions on the following two entries for Cool Mini Or Not (please vote 1 to 10). These figures are 28mm scale painted by hand.

The first is a mounted bard on a warhorse. It stands approximately 3 inches tall and took me about 35 hours to complete:

The second is a diaroma of 2 pegasi being rounded up by a wood sprite. It's base is a 5x8 picture frame and took me about 75 hours to complete. I finished this last year, but it took me forever to get picture taken:

Thanks in advance for all the advise!!

What about using the Eye of Rah (Sorry if I spelled it wrong! )? Or maybe hmm...a pyramid? lol

I thought of the Eye of Ra, but should I paint it as if it was 3D? I was also thinking of maybe doing something to do with Bast, but I'm not sure.

Thanks about the minis. They take forever to paint but as long as I like the sculpt, it seems like time is flying by. I'm working on a unicorn diaroma at the moment. I'll post pics when I am finished...and hopefully I should have my Egyptian Princess finished as well.

I had to google Bast , but I think something to do with Bast would be AWESOME. I love cats and especially Egyptian art or Egyptian inspired artwork with cats involved.

Bast is awesome, but you could always go with the Egyptian Queen, Cleopatra

You should use a scarab beetle, those are awsome.

Ask CoolBreeze if you can...it's her area of expertise! She might be able to give you some great ideas, and tell you what symbols represents what, etc.

**** is also a good choice for an Egypitan theme. Bast is deffiently a good choice too. There are several Egyptian Godesses that would work really. A scareb beetle would be good to mix in, like in place of the heart on the foot or on the cheek. An if she's a princess you gotta have an anhk.
