The_Vampire_QueenAh yes. Isis, Mother of Horus. I actually seem to recall her having wings. I may have seen a statue of her with wings somewhere...

Anyways, this is a gorgeous drawing. I especially love the colors and the detail you put into the wings.

Black_BreezeI always thought that what Isis did to Ra was mean. I knew she did it in order for Horus, but come on. . . HE was an old man. Leave him alone. Nice depiction, but I don't remember Isis with wings. Heehee, she looks so alert. . . *favs*
