“when the state reaches for your body, cut off its hands”

with sekhmet

Oh wow look I’ve left my lane *gets run over*
yea I did a painting of Sekhmet because she’s cool, I was homesick and her imagery is prevailent at the Memphis zoo which was my favourite place as a kid. And yes, I did grow up with the impression that all zoos were meant to replicate the imagery of Egyptian temples and that it was normal to have an abandoned pyramid by the river ghosts of egyptomania amirite folks-
obviously this is extremely simplistic, I don’t do sketches when I pain so the lineart was free handed. But it was great for practicing non human faces!
