I've always been fond of Thoth. And who wouldn't since he is the Egyptian God of such cool things as writing, science, magic, librarians and other things near and dear to my head. I've always liked how Thoth is shown not as a classic Sacred Ibis but as an bluish green colour, ie the colour of magic in Egypt. It adds a nice touch. There are things I'm not too happy about in this one and things I like a lot. Pretty typical The background carving is from a photo that we took on our trip to Eygpt. Nice to use some of the photos finally! The jewelry is all authentic and the scroll is from the Book of the Dead.
I LOVE THOTH TOO!!! compared to all the other egyptian gods he actually seemed sane XD i luved the myth about how he won the five extra days of the year from the moon god. BEEEEAAAUUTIFUL painting, i absolutely luv the detail on his head and hair. the background is lovely too, and i'm so jealous that u actually WENT to Egypt. paint more egyptian gods, i really love them!

hehe An instant fav for me! w00t I didn't even know that there was an Egyptian god named Thoth. At a glance, I was thinking Isis but boy was I wrong. As always you've done such a beautiful job.
This is impressive. As i was browsing through your gallery i saw this is not the only egytian themed work you have, but is perhaps the best. i love the details that make this work so spectacular and the greateness of the portraid god. Beautiful.

Thoth is my favorite god too. And you did an awesome job on showing the detail. I can't do that with paint.
Good work!
