I left for like a year and a half, and this thread is still filled with that stuff. Come on, now. This thread is to showcase our talents, not spam everyone's eyes with your repressed sexual desires.
Well, excuse me for drawing what I want.

Umm your special interests are about Egyptian culture mostly aren't they? As well as prehistoric. I do not think your work is raunchy or displays repressed sexual desires. But you know what they say about art, people see things about themselves in the works of others. Maybe somebody has repressed desires that embarrasses them. I mean you draw plenty of guys too, and dinosaurs. So ignore it. A critic, especially one that does not take empiricism in mind, is nothing but vomit.

Memnon the King of Troy
In Greek mythology, Memnon was a king of “Aethiopia” (ancient Kush or Nubia in what is now Sudan) who allied with the Trojans in their Homeric conflict against the Greeks. Although a skilled warrior whom the Trojans hoped would be their savior, Memnon was characterized by a nobility which won him the favor of the Greek gods. In one episode an elderly Greek king named Nestor challenged Memnon to a fight to avenge his son, but Memnon turned him down out of respect for his age. Ironically this strength of character would lead to Memnon’s undoing, for the demigod Achilles ultimately slew him on Nestor’s behalf.
I based Memnon’s look here on a real king of Nubia named Nedjeh, who ruled between 1650 and 1550 BC. Artistic sources depict him as an archer with a bowling pin-shaped hedjet crown related to those worn by early Egyptian Pharaohs.

Who died and made you Chief of the Art Police? BrandonSP keeps his work tasteful. Besides, nobody considers the nude art of people like Robert Mapplethorpe to be "spank bank" material.

I see, it now makes sense.
South Sudanese Father-in-Law
If you thought in-laws in the West were demanding, just wait until you meet the ones in traditional South Sudanese societies. Over there, they want you to pay for the wedding with cattle. And I don’t mean figurative cash cows, I mean literal cattle. Then again, America has plenty of cattle already.
The big brown hill in the background isn’t a mountain but an earthen grave pyramid. Much like the ancient Egyptians and Nubians, many South Sudanese societies would honor their dead leaders and prophets with large pyramid-like structures sometimes reaching fifty feet in height. Even to this day some of these pyramids retain some of their past spiritual significance to South Sudanese peoples.
I've been reading about the Apache lately - they had this tradition where when a woman got married, the husband would have to provide food for the inlaws for the rest of his life, but he was never allowed to speak to them.
You guys are are all so talented! I love this thread.
