Here’s another character of mine. She’s an Egyptian gazelle named Kushari. The artist here helped me a lot to tweak the design and get to this finalized version. She’s a necromancer (the nice kind), a priestess, and a mortician. She looks after the dead to make sure nobody lingers as an angry ghost. There’s more to her of course, but that’s the basic stuff.

From Wikipedia Picture of the Day; March 1, 2018:

Kushari is an Egyptian dish made with a mixture of rice, macaroni, and lentils, which is topped with a spiced tomato sauce and garlic vinegar and garnished with chickpeas and crispy fried onions. A sprinkling of garlic juice, or garlic vinegar, and hot sauce are optional. Originally made in the 19th century, the dish draws influence from Indian and Italian cuisine.

“Beetle Boy” Kushari is actually kind of anti-social, and she lives alone. She does actually have a pet though, a scarab beetle named Cartouche. Artwork by Spearfrost

Here’s a waist-up I got of Kushari because I wanted to show off some different styles of jewelry. In theory she should wear several different kinds that she alternates between. In practice, artists tend to do the spiderweb one. The piercings in her ears are consistent though. They’re heavy and weigh her ears down, giving her a drooping, gloomy sort of look.

“Sassy Necromancer” Another picture from one of my favorite artists. Here’s Kushari in all her glory. I wanted to make sure her markings and jewelry looked good here, so this one is a primary reference. I like the staff too. Artwork by Rapps

“Lunchtime in Egypt” This piece was the result of a giveaway I did because I wanted some scenic art with Kushari interacting with other Egyptian characters. The artist and I worked for a long time to get the scenery and props right (or at least as right as we could). The other character is named Kadir Essa, and I adore his design. Artwork by FurraSowa
