On A4 handmade drawing.
This drawing took my 4 days.
Reference: I used model for woman body, others are imaginary.

The Ankh is commonly known to mean life in the language of Ancient Kemet (land of the Blacks) renamed Egypt by the Greeks. It is also a symbol for the power to give and sustain life, the Ankh is typically associated with material things such as water(which was believed by Egyptians to regenerate life), air, sun, as well as with the Gods, who are frequently pictured carrying an Ankh.
The Egyptian king is often associated with the Ankh also, either in possession of an Ankh (providing life to his people) or being given an Ankh (or stream of Ankhs) by the Gods. It is usually worn as an amulet to extent the life of living and placed on the mummy to energize the resurrected spirit. It is believed that life energy emanating from the Ankh can be absorbed by anyone within a certain proximity.
The amulet is a powerful talisman that provides the wearer with protection from the evil forces of decay and degeneration.

The girl in the picture, that lives millions of lightyear away, as her ancestors did, that visited this world hundreds years ago, uses the ankh...

私はどこか幸せのようなものを継続しないと私の心に知っていたが、これらの感情をあなたの好みのさよならを永遠に楽しみに変更しない日今日からは、私だけでは私は、笑顔をすべて悲しいものについて私はきたに疑問符生活の意味を考えることがなく生きています。

The inhuman eyes with a very human body give this a very exotic feeling that's almost seductive in nature. Like a snake hypnotizes its prey. Love the effect, great job!

Well, he's kind of had it in for me ever since I accidentally ran over his dog. Actually, replace “accidentally” with “repeatedly” and replace “dog” with “son.” Lionel Hutz
