Hey all, I was unfortunately laid off from my job of 3 years working as an environment concept artist @ clockwork labs last week. It was a fun stretch - but now I am seeking a new role! I'll be posting some of my favorite concepts I did during my time there.
The British Museum image shows a painted scene of a lion and a gazelle playing a board game, probably senet. They are seated on low stools, facing each other, across a low table on which a board game with black playing pieces is laid out. It is probably the popular ancient Egyptian board game senet. The gazelle sits on the left of the table facing the lion on the right. The animals are seated on their haunches, sitting upright, legs hanging down from the chair seat, and their forelegs raised, being used as arms. Each animal holds a game piece with their hoof and paw respectively. The gazelle is painted brown within a black outline. It has black hooves, two long, black, s-shaped curved horns, and a black dot for its eye. It has long pointed ears at the back of its head. The lion is painted a sandy brown within a black outline. It has a darker-brown shaggy mane and a black nose and eye. It’s mouth is ajar as if speaking. Detail from an ancient Egyptian illustrated papyrus from Deir el-Medina
A 3,200 year-old painted scene of a lion and a gazelle playing a board game, probably senet.
From an ancient Egyptian illustrated papyrus showing animals taking on human roles in comic situations where they act against their natural instincts.
