"Sanura" Keychain

"Sanura" - an Egyptian princess - an illustration for a short story written by Kachina Mickeletto that will be appearing in my upcoming art book (a sequel to Strangeling - my first book ) - the followup will be published next year by Blue Angel.  Sanura is a grumpy Egyptian princess, shown here with an Egyptian Mau cat (modelled after my own cat Tigrillo, who looks like a plump little mau).  Aesthetically I've tried to evoke the imagery of the Egyptian Revival movement of Victorian England and academic France and the romanticised settings of Alma-Tadema, Gerome, etc.  combined with one of my own contemporary pop surreal big eyed girls.  I really love how it turned out.  Keep an eye out for the book!  My own original acrylic painting.
