#hieracosphinx

Li’l hieracosphinx.

Finally finished Delta's new ref sheet, started in December... 2020. Whoops. Anyway, I redid their wings several times because I, like a fool, went with a twisty arm pose and it took quite a bit of effort to get the feathers to look right. I redid their design, changing them from a regular (anthro) bearded vulture to a hieracosphinx (anthro), though I kept them part bearded vulture instead of hawk. Also wings and a bird tail because people do that all the time for regular sphinxes and I thought it looked good. Also included a skull despite theirs being entirely standard to fit the new ref sheet format, and some clothing examples as a reference for their overall style. You can find more information on them, as a character, over on their (new) Toyhouse page!

This Twelfth Dynasty pectoral depicts Horus in the form of a hieracosphinx, facing Set in the form of the Set-animal, across a Hathor-faced symbol in the centre. It’s a stunner. At the Met.

Working on getting the Pledgemanager running next. Almost done with that!

lower frieze from the Temple of the God Horus at Behdet (Edfu), detail: a double image of Horus of Behdet in His form of sacred hieracosphinx (falcon-headed lion) seated on 'neb'-baskets, wearing the Double Crown, and with a fan in front of Him (and a 'shen'-ring at right). In the middle, two Solar orbs with uraei and hanging 'Ankh'-signs (Life)
