Lioness...Gargoyle...Sphinx? IDK

Description

So when I heard about a challenge at Gargoyles Aquatic ( [link] ) and saw New Olympus Egyptian-esque designs were allowed I figured "A lioness is perfect. It's not like they hate water or anything."

So here is my Sekhmet/Sphinx riff. Do not mistake the axe for a fan. Hope you like riddles.

As per challenge rules she does not have a name, though I have one in mind. I'm not sure how much backstory is required, but let's assume she's some kind of temple guardian. Because lion statues have a long-standing security gig all the world over. Good publicity.

Paint Tool SAI, about 7 hrs. Screw you, feathers :|

Gargoyles and Egyptian deities do not belong to me. This art does. Leave it alone. :shakefish:

I love comments, peeps! Criticism? I welcome it. Help me get better! OTL

That's a cool concept.  I love the wings.  I've messed with feathered/furry wings in the past, and couldn't make them work.  But you pulled it off nicely.  AND, being the Egypt nut that I am, I appreciate that you game her the four toes like the Sphinx itself.  Very impressive
