SciFi and Fantasy Art Netjer Seth by S. ´Silvestris´ Strand

Egyptian mythology has always fascinated me, and no god so much as the mysterious Seth. Devil and defender, Darkness in the service of Light...

This particular god has visited me in my dreams for many years, and become the closest thing to a religion this atheist artist will ever have. I finally decided to make a decent picture of him - and the result was almost spooky. It just grew out of the background, as if drawing itself through me. Never had such an experience with a picture before... o.O;;

The medium is CG, as usual, although not based on a sketch like most my pictures. All done with my tablet. Comments, please..?

26 Nov 2008	Jeanette M Thomas	Loading... Anonymoous - I think Sebek is the crocodile god form.
7 Mar 2009	Anon	Loading... This picture is very elegant and majestic. I love his hair, by the way...and that ankh. I’m glad there’s at least some people who draw Set as a regal animal-headed god instead of some scrawny ginger kid. Great job!
12 Apr 2009	Joan	Loading... I love this image! I am also a creator of images of Set, and I have to say, yeah! You’ve got that delightful dark majestic power captured here! http://www.joanlansberry.com/setgaleri.html
19 May 2009	Louise Elizabeth Thomas	Loading... I have recently been re-introduced to Egyptian religion and am now addicted. This, I have to say, Is AMAZING. I love it. Any chance of any other gods/goddesses?
20 Jun 2009	Cor Leonis	Loading... Yes! Another Netjer or Egyptian god. So, how do you perceive the villain of the tale? Perhaps you got his personality just right! Set/Seth, of course, may not have been an evil god. His pride, jealous against his brother, Osiris, and the birth of his illegitimate son, Anubis are the clear candidates for his wrong-doings. The picture, specially his emphasis as a god of storm, interested me. Good work.
27 Oct 2009	Katie	Loading... Seth has more than the negative part he has other aspects too! I like him and Anubis both very handsome, if they existed in the real world its may sound insane but i would go for one of them. i have a mini statue of Seth by my computer he’s scaring off bad things in my room along with my spirit guide Thunderbird is it true Seth is the lord of thunder and lightning also?
27 Oct 2009	Katie	Loading... oh sorry i love your drawing he is so handsome if he comes to you in your dreams alot he might be your spirit guide?
20 Feb 2010	Dagmar ter Haar	Loading... Seth’s name in Ancient Egyptian is "Sutekh"
