"Hathor" by Charlotte Fire-Valkyrie Ahlgren

Hathor is a very ancient Egyptian goddess, known as (among other things) the celestial cow - often depicted as a cow or as a woman wearing the sundisk and horns headdress, she is also sometimes depicted as a woman with cow ears. It was the ears that made me do this entire picture, really. In Daz Studio you can alter the features of the base model in a number of ways - and give it all kinds of ears. So I had to, really. I really didn't have a choice :P

Anyway, the picture is rendered in Daz Studio but since I didn't have the right props and no clothes, her hair, outfit and jewellery have been painted on in Photoshop. I also added the "dirty" (or actually flowery) texture on top of the whole picture in order to obscure the background (which doesn't look all that egyptian) and add a bit of atmosphere. I rather like the effect I got - it's a little like the dirt of ages on a wall painting... (if I may say so myself)
