This is a character inspired by the Original Set/Sutukh/Setesh of the ancient stories of KMT. The original character was represented as a combination of different animals, as patron of foreigners and business, and as one of the elements such as earthquakes and sandstorms. Set was a being originally dedicated to protecting Ra during His travels in the Solar Barque while help keeping Apep, the being of Chaos at bay. In later times, Set became similar to Apep in that he also became a being of chaos. He represented murder, betrayal, and a host of other attrocities. Set is most famously known for His murder of his brother Asar (Osiris) and battling Asar's son (Heru/Horus) for the same murderous act and redemption of Egypt.
My interpretation of Set represents one of the animals (looks similar to the aardvark) his glyph represented, and also the image of pale skin and red hair that the Ancients usually associated with foreigners towards Lower Egypt. Set was historically a Defender of Justice, a Harbinger of Balance, as well as a symbol for the outcast, the foreigner, and economic ventures. Set can be seen as representation of the lower self in all of us. DEOZI! For Artwork Services Contact: deozi@deozi.com
