Description
A picture from a couple of years back. Very simple. But I thought I'd slap it up here for kicks. I think this was done in watercolors and colored pencils.Related content

Artistic liscence not without corroboration:
"Since Horus was said to be the sky, it was natural that he was rapidly considered to also contain the sun and moon. It became said that the sun was one of his eyes and the moon the other, and that they traversed the sky when he, a falcon, flew across it."
"Ultimately, as another sun god, Horus became identified with Ra as Ra-Herakhty, literally Ra, who is Horus of the two horizons."
Just be glad I didn't do a pic of the events between him and Set with the lettuce *heh heh heh*
