Vanity

8D;;;

So I couldn't get this idea out of my mind for this little contest run by *MCAdoptables, so finally I just decided to put it down.

The object of the contest was to draw a picture of her that pleases her the most, so rather than just drawing her looking cute, I chose to try and portray her beauty in the form of symbolism (yaaaay).

Basically, I tried to put this chimera in the style of the paintings of ancient Egypt. I had a little trouble putting her in the Old Kingdom standard proportions (and that fellow is probably not following them very well either for that matter), and I kinda improvised on how I chose to portray her. I took some inspiration from the lionesses on the Palette of Narmar... then promptly disregarded most of it and kind of made it up as I went along.

Okay, so the stuff here, at the risk of going wayy too tl;dr:

So seated on the throne there is the chimera, CKKDv1 . Like I said, I tried to portray her in the style of ancient Egypt. On her throne there is lotus and papyrus. In ancient Egyptian context, this would refer to whoever was seated on the throne as being ruler of both Upper and Lower Egypt - ruler of everything, in short. In this context, I'm just taking the 'ruler of everything' part, since obviously our world isn't confined to Egypt. Ruler of everything, because pretty much everyone who sees her falls in love with her beauty and can't help but serve her (please ignore how corny that sounded).

Generic fellow to the left of the throne represents the general population of... the world. He is offering her mirrors, one gold and one silver just because those are both high-quality materials suitable enough for her caliber of personality. Mirrors because there is no gift that could match her beauty, so that is what he gives her. Also because she likes them. Generic fellow is modeled after Ti in Ti Watching a Hippopotamus Hunt, Saqqara, Fifth Dynasty.

Also I stuck the administrators of MC Adoptables in there, too. The bird is ^budgie (because it's a budgie bird - oh, and I modeled it after Horus, god of the sky/sun/a lot of other things), the cat is =chutkat (chutkat = cat, modeled after the lionesses on the Palette of Narmar), and =lone-momo is the sun. Because I had no idea how to represent a... momo. They're positioned above her because they created her.

Basically, I was trying to reflect the deification of the subject, which was quite common for kings and queens of ancient Egypt. That's also why I chose this style.

Also CKKDv1 there has been given the wedjat, the eye of Horus - it's basically a symbol of royal power.
