“Les corps des femmes désirées, comme les dépouilles des vipères et les parfums volatils, ne sont pas faits pour dépérir, pourrir et s' évaporer dans notre atmosphère : fioles, bocaux et baignoires : c'est là que doivent durer les fleurs, scintiller les écailles et les femmes s' épanouir, loin de l' air et du temps, ainsi qu'un continent englouti ou une épave qu'on saborde, pour y découvrir plus tard, en cas de survie, un ultime trésor.”

 Kateb Yacine

Wip, on the left, I tried to draw Nedjma (nane)‘s thep khufan form. But then I start to struggle, so I decided to draw her in chibi human form (I am going to do the same with the other characters of shapeshifter Ben).

I might change it in the future, since I struggle to draw aliens (especially thep khufans, I want to draw their body correctly. But it need more time. True I used human references but I looked up at thep khufan drawings and to know what to change on the body)

For context: Nedjma is a new oc of mine, she is nicknamed nane. I made her for an au of shapeshifter Ben, where sed is married to her. (sweetpeaches666 ‘s version of the mummy for their au). So yea, she is Ben’s step mom in that alternative universe, not the original one of shapeshifter Ben.

To share some info: she grew up in a noble family, like any middle child, she was always ignored compared to her sisters. Being neglected emotionally, (and even physically sometimes) did caused her to isolate herself. She likes horror stories and even folklore ones of thep khufan, which she is a comfort for her.

She got married to sed because the pharaoh Amun nagged sed to get married already, sed having enough of his dad, out of rage and frustration he agreed.

Nedjma, married sed au belong to me

Shapeshifter Ben au, sed, belongs to @sweetpeaches666
