Did you sculpt the panthers? I like your idea of depicting the elementals with winged panther images and colors that represent the elements. I especially like Spirit because you included gold in the colors. I like gold in art.

These are beautiful!

My sculpture skills arent that good. But I painted them and added the little silver horns on the spirit cat. Here are 2 of my sculptures. I dont feel all that confident.
And I needed the winged panthers to be exactly alike due to the nature of how elements get invoked.

I can see you already know the basics so you can build on that by just continuing to do it. Maybe try sculpting the front of a cat’s head on the flat triangle with wings. Then paint it with lots of gold and very bright colors, especially on the feathers.

I like these samples as much as your original panthers. They are all evocative of ancient gods and artwork! They are really beautifully colored!

I had to move the 2 basts and it fell off the shelf and the moon bast lost one of the horns on her moon.

had to resculpt the horn. Its drying. So the painting has to be delayed.
