03262: Beetle Swarm and Victim (warning, gore and beetles)

[Rigel]

The Egyptians of old venerated the scarab as an aspect of Ra, the motivator that propelled the Sun across the sky like a dung-ball.

 

Thousands of years later, the red desert has covered the sacred sites, and vulgar adventurers dig for treasure. But it does not do to profane the shrine of a god!

 

 

Or perhaps it is just that, in the desert, everything is hungry.

 

Either way, it's not pleasant.

 

Or quick.

 

What a great pulpy sculpt, and what a horrible way to go!

Beetles and Gore!

Two of my favorites 🙃

 

Love this.

And the Egyptian Setting is another one of my favorite things.

Good work!

That expression on his face totally works (I'm only guessing, of course...happy to say I've never been in this exact situation, myself). It's the perfect amount of gore, too. Making the beetles blue really helps set them off and makes them stand out nicely.

Thank you, I appreciate it!

Oh, I'm ready for that Tombs of Hakir expansion to come around! I feel you are too...can't wait to see your take on the scarab-men!

Thanks! I need to get a Beetle Swarm or two to go with this. 
The sculptor for sure paused that one scene from "The Mummy" (Brendan Frasier version) more than once.
