Ishtarby ~SelinaFenech

Digital Art / Miscellaneous / Miscellaneous

The goddess of love in Babylon was also a might warrioress, who rode a lion into battle. This is her, Ishtar (also called Inanna). I painted this with watercolour and a bit of gouache for those darker colours

Goddess of love & war ? So many ancient civilizations gave their deities dual purposes. I've studied Egypt, India, China, ancient Persia, but I seem to be still learning about Mesopotamia / Babylon. BTW, I totally LOVE this piece.

Being Christian does not mean going to church, does not mean doing good deeds, does not mean only conversing with Christian people. It means having a meaningful relationship with Christ, and all good things will come from that.

Beautiful.

god! this is mighty inspiring! her pose is both sensual and yet shows her strength, the lion shows her nobilty of soul (of course she is noble ... she's a goddess lol) but it looks fabulous especially with the effect created by the random petals on the characters
