^ Posting any kind of art is fine.

Oh my gosh I want one.

Nice. How long did it take you to make it, I'm wondering?

Pharaoh Dislikes Chocolate
As much as the Queen of Egypt didn't want to offend her Olmec hosts, she just couldn't get into their most prized beverage. You couldn't really blame her. The original Mesoamerican form of chocolate did have a bitter taste before the Europeans came along to sweeten it.

I'm actually skeptical of the belief that Egyptians or any other Africans made it to the Americas during Olmec times, but I have to concede that I actually do like the concept of pre-modern globalization.

Quick line sketch meant to emulate the drawing style of Aaron McGruder as seen in his animated show The Boondocks. Well, not exactly. I did give this lady more defined lips than McGruder's characters, who tend to have the standard thin anime lips. On the other hand I think her angry brows mimicked his convention rather well.

Nefrusobek on the Hunt
Armed with her bow and arrow, Queen Nefrusobek of Kametu goes hunting out in the savannas that stretch beyond her riparian kingdom. Sometimes she will attack from her zebra chariot or war elephant, but today she's in a more courageous mood and traveling on foot.

Although Kametu is of course based off ancient Egypt, it enjoys a rainier climate and thus has a grassy savanna rather than desert environment. Nonetheless most of the Kametian population congregates along the Iteru River since it has more fertile silt and a steady water supply. Fish and livestock provide the majority of their dietary protein, but hunting wild game is nonetheless a popular past-time with the nobility and royalty.

Crappy old artwork, but it's still a fav of mine.

From Pharaoh to Slave
Once she ruled the ancient world's greatest and most ancient superpower. Since then she has fallen into the cruelest and most destitute servitude. Formerly renowned for her glamorous beauty, she now suffers the stigma forced upon this same appearance. But someday, she vows, she will ascend back to her former glory.

UPDATE 12/16/13: Finally decided what kind of background I wanted for each half of the portrait. On the left is the Photoshop-rendered papyrus I've used for several of my Egyptian images while on the right is the text from an actual advertisement for slaves from 19th century Georgia.
