The original sketch of this features Set facing away from the Sun. But in the colored version, I've made him facing the moon. In both versions, he is shown to be a Dark God, and in this moonlight version he faces the moon as if facing his Mother Nuit, acknowledging her.

"From the time after the N.K. [New Kingdom] there are a number of data to show that the Egyptians took Seth to be not only lord of the desert, but also the lord of the oases it contains." (TeVelde, Seth, God of Confusion, page 115) I don't know if Egyptian deserts have saguaro cacti, but I put one in anyway. As 'God of foreigners', his desert lands certainly include American ones.

This is available in a quality 'Photo Lustre' art print!
