The Egyptian Gods

[Andrew Biggs]

Thank you for all the comments and likes. Much appreciated.

These William Henry knives are enjoyable to cut and WH are excellent to deal with.

Cheers

I could go on and on!

 

[Andrew Biggs]

Thanks Roger

One of the interesting things about this type of project is the actual design phase.

If you follow the scrolls around to their natural conclusion you'll find that the faces and eyes fall within the shape of the scroll (give or take a little). Basically this means that you draw all the scroll backbones/leaves first. Then place the heads/eyes within the head of the scroll which gives the overall design a flowing effect as opposed to randomly placing the heads anywhere.......this keeps the design within the golden mean/ratio proportions. It's a subliminal thing but seems to work and it's what I do with most of the Maori designs as well.

Cheers
Andrew

I think this is your best piece yet and by the way, nice photos! Forgot to mention that last time I posted on this, nice crisp photos.

Thanks Lee, monk and Tim. Much appreciated.

The photos are supplied by William Henry and they do an excellent job of it.

Andrew, no matter if Maori or Egyptian Gods, your work is always recognizable as being yours

Thanks for that Arnaud

Believe it or not I can actually do just normal scroll work without any Gods interwoven in the design
