Kobolian Sphinx

Sarika · June 24th, 2011, 11:54 PM

Hi there,

I was recently watching "The planet of the Lost Gods" episodes, and I have always loved the particular Sphinx in the background of the temple Adama and Apollo and Serina go into.
So I paused the spot where the Sphinx is seen fairly close up on the side of the screen view.
I sketched the sphinx and now have a pretty good image to reproduce onto a fabric wall hanging.

I then was inspired to create two more sphinx designs with a Kobolian look, and I can't wait to reproduce them as well.

I'll be sure to share them with you all when they are done!

That would be nice to see!

.... Will be waiting patiently ...

(places a cup under BST's chin to catch the drool...)

Thanks Pete! I am really excited to create this wall hanging. As you may know I do fabric painting and create soft furnishings.
This will be a real pleasure in this design to make.

The thing is with this Kobolian sphinx, it possesses certainly that Egyptian look, but also not exactly Egyptian, but indeed a unique style that they obviously wanted to create for a Kobolian style that we then think about how that came to influence our Egyptian motifs, and art/sculptures.

I love how they did that.

Does anyone have a screencap of that sphinx?

Well, technically I have finished my painting/wallhanging, but am yet to upload the pictures and post them up , and shall endevour to do so by next Monday or so.

I'm pretty happy with the result of my Kobolian Sphinx.

Thanks much - It's from my early days as a WWII reenactor - Austrian 137th Regiment, 2nd Mountain Division. Just kind of stuck even though I don't pursue the hobby any more.

If your sphinx is anything like your Kobollian Colonial Patch, it should be astounding!

No pressure...

I would love to see an image of that... Guess I'll have to throw on the DVD and check it out.

Maybe I'll make a CG version of it.

My apologies for my delay ...got VERY sidetracked with RL, and well, today i am finally here to show you my Kobolian Sphinx wall hanging.

I will post it up in the board "Art work-finished", I think would be more appropriate.

Its very good, Honestly I never paid close attention to the details in the tomb, I just assumed they were standard egyptian tomb props. I'll have to go look at that ep carefully.

As for the delay, thats just how it goes. I usually go for several months at a time before I get an opportunity to even touch my Galactica stuff. Glad to see that RL gave you enough of a break to finish it.

Thank you , and yes if you look at the particular scene where I saw this Sphinx it is definitely not standard Egyptian props. It's different and unique, that's what i like about it. One gets a sense of where our Egyptian art form or representation might have descended from, if we go with the wonderful idea of where we might have come from.
