Description
Egyptian cat goddess. A goddess of the home and of the domestic cat, although she sometimes took on the war-like aspect of a lioness. Daughter of the sun god Re, although sometimes regarded as the daughter of Amun. Wife of Ptah and mother of the lion-god Mihos. Her cult was centered on her sanctuary at Bubastis in the delta region, where a necropolis has been found containing mummified cats. Bast was also associated with the 'eye of Re', acting as the instrument of the sun god's vengeance. She was depicted as a cat or in human form with the head of a cat, often holding the sacred rattle known as the sistrum....so i did a picture of her

I love the personality you gave her in this piece, very feline. The swirling background gives her an air of mystery, which is a nice touch.

Hey...someone who actauuly drew her as a native Egyptian cat species! The shape of the face reminds me of that of the ancient cat species of the Abbyssian, whom actually were worshipped by the Egyptians.
Definitely worth a

The expression is wounderful... love how you do them. The swirling smoke is nice. Feels like she has just transformed from a full cat form to this, slinky seductress(sp). Someone you have to watch out for.
In other words... I enjoy.

It is portrayed in two ways, Iv seen both. I prefer Bast over Bastet, But i do believe Bastet was the original name to this goddess. ^_^
