My Attempts At Visual Art., Yes..I'm here too=p

Urian, GREAT job and great news as well. Welldone, my friend!

OMG! I missed this thread, Urian! Shame on me! There is some awesome work here! I have PS and too much of a dope and too lazy to figure it all out. I am waiting for a PS class to be offered here in town and I am going to take that.

Ooh, Ooh, Ooh! Urian! Did you do that Celtic rose avatar for me?! If you didn't, I want to steal if for my avatar! Can I? Can I please? It is so beautiful! I just love it!

yes rose. I did it just for you.
I actually spent some tiime trying to find the best rose.
glad you like it

Oh Urian! You are such a sweetheart! Thank you so very much for doing this for me. I can't tell you the countless times I have been on the internet trying to find the perfect rose too and you found it! God Bless you! I am going to change it right now! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Well, Urian! I changed it! What do you think? I just really love it and so proud of it.........thank you so much!

Mike, why not check with one of the local t-shirt printers and have the shirts done yourself and start selling them at some of the local shops. If you can figure out a way to start up a web page, you can sell them there too. If you need help starting up a page, I'm sure you can get some help from some of the members who know how to do that.


Nice job. Keep posting your creations.

Oh Rose! I just love your new avatar...it's so beautiful and fits you to a "t"...good work, urian!

Thanks Gabby! I just really love it too. I am so very proud of it! I am just so sorry that I missed this thread somehow! How shameful of me! But better late than never, eh?

I'm wonderfully happy that you like it. DOes me good to know that.*hugs*

Mike, I will check on that after the first of hte month and I get settled into wherever I am living.
Thats for the adive. Sometimes the most obvious things elude us...or me anyway.

Thanks gab. I will, eventually, try to get around to doing a series of avatars...With my insomnia..shouldnt take me more than a week to do a few thousand

My first attempt at coloring a black and white picture. I can already see somethings wrong with it but that may be because I created it and I was staring at it at 300% its original size...anyway..here ya go...a pic and a mythology lesson
Depending on where you read the myth it is either Ra or Horus who creates Sekhmet. I prefer the Horus myths as he is one of my Patrons but I copied and pasted this one and it has Ra(plus I'm lazy)




In the mythic days of Egyptian history, Ra Himself ruled as pharaoh for a time, and as He ruled for many years in human form, He, like humans, began to age. The people of Egypt commented on his frailty, noticed his weakening body, and some of them began to plot against Him, thinking Him no longer fit to rule in such a vulernable state. Egypt's people became corrupt with scheming, and although the people thought Ra old and senile, He could not help but notice how fiendlike and greedy His people had become. Mournfully, Ra decided that action had to be taken, and so He created the Goddess Sekhmet to destroy humanity.He plucked his right eye and cast it to earth to birth Sekhmet. The Goddess took the form of a huge lioness and did as She was created to do. Sekhmet's bloodlust grew as She ravanged the country, devouring those who had evil intentions, Her desire for destruction growing even beyond Ra's imaginings. In Her fury, She began devouring even those who were not corrupt. Ra saw this and felt sorry for humanity, determined that the destruction must now come to a halt, but Ra Himself was not powerful enough to stop by force what He had created. And so He devised a clever trick: He had seven thousand barrels of beer dyed the color of blood and drained on a field for Sekhmet to see. Drawn to the expanse of of blood, Sekhmet came and drank all of it from the land, leaving Her drunk and satiated. It was then that Ra transformed Her into the Goddess Het-heru/Hathor, a Deity of love, merriment, joy, and sexuality.
Sekhmet was primarily worshipped in the Egyptian city of Memphis along with Her consort, the God Ptah. Sekhmet's destructive capabilities are balanced out by Ptah's creative ones. She was commonly associated with both sickness and healing, protection, and ferocity in battle
