Maatby ~teraquads

Manga & Anime / Digital Media / Drawings

Finally finished...Phew. I started this last year, hit a road-block and have been doing tiny bits of work on it ever since. Today was the grand finale, the eyes and lazy background. XD

This is Maat, the mother of Yeshua's two daughters, Nephilim and Linea, and also Yeshua's wife, before she died.

Yeshua and her enjoyed an epic romance, but a painfully opposite life view. Maat was a warrior who fought ethereal creatures and the Unseen threats in the Middle East shortly before 0 BC. She was a mystical being. Yeshua, of course, is a man of peace who would never involve himself in battle. Because they were both strange, mysterious beings, the found themselves drawn together by that commonality.
Maat, Yeshua, his oldest friend Dogma and their eldest daughter, Linea, lived as nomads mostly, travelling around the Middle East and Africa. While she fought off spirits and other ancient evils, Yeshua, Dogma and Linea would sight-see and explore.
Maat died shortly after giving birth to their second daughter, Nephilim, so Yeshua and Dogma raised the children themselves.
Even though it was so long ago, Yeshua misses her dearly still and their daughter Linea hopes to be much like her mother, fighting evil. Nephilim, who is scholarly and thoughtful, hopes to be more like her father.

P.S This is the first time I've attempted to paint a very dark skin tone...let me know how I did, but be kind!

The lighting is great in this! The eyes kind of throw me off at first because of their different shapes but that's just the angle. Looking into them almost mesmerizes me, haha.

They definitely should -- the eyes were the hard parts, the glow etc. Thank for comment.

Lighting was my biggest problem the whole way through.

I think you did well on the skin and all the shininess (* A *
