Hi all! So uhhhhh I used Mermay to explore Sobek's more hybrid features in DEITIESProject >>

This form is something that Sobek -- and most deities -- can canonly take with transformation magic, it fall under the category of hybrid features. Though I'm not sure whether this makes him look more like a "merfolk" or a "centaur" (or both? both ✨).

That said, I feel like every time I draw a crocodilian I have to relearn it all over again, esp. their body markings and scales/scutes -- it's fun, just never very consistent. But I've learned a few new tricks to get Sobek's croc form closer to that "semi-realistic but still stylized/cartoony" look I'm aiming for.

Also! I traded his usual feathered headdress for the horned variant -- originally for the sake of reducing negative space and cropping, but I actually like this look on him too!

One of my favorite things about crocodilians is how unapologetic they are.

----------

Lord Sobek, a veteran of Ra’s royal guard, is the son of Neith, and the older step-brother of Anuket.

The warrior god Sobek is respected for his unrivaled strength. He relishes the thrill of battle, and this sheer intensity can seem intimidating. Outside of combat, the giant crocodile is relaxed and gregarious, and it doesn't take long to feel comfortable in his presence.
