Description I have no idea where to categorize this piece: please help.

I was going to call this Pretty Pretty Princess but well when half of the subjects are men you just can't do that. Ra may be a queen but he ain't no princess! (bada-ching, and the pun gun gets me again)

Left to Right:
Sekhmet, Bast, Set, Ra

I was actually planning on putting Ptah and Har in the background, but the boys started to cramp the pic's style. I thought of putting red hearts on Set's dress ala a guitar but... laziness overcame me, and it would make him even more of an eye draw which wasn't good for the picture composition. I also was going to put a shoe on Ra's head, and you can thank me for not going with that joke. That said, the only thing this pic needs is
PUT SHOE ON HEAD.

I'm pretty sure I need darker darks (a problem of mine) but I was trying to factor in Ra as a light source. I personally love how Sekhmet stands out in saloon attire with a cigar. Ahhh lady, how I love your character. Designing the pic, I tried to think of what dress to put her in but nothing worked except either putting her in a tux or this.

Okay, honestly? Scary! Sekhmet especially! But - your artwork is always a pleasure to see. I can't stop giggling. What was going through your head at the time?! I like to tease the Gods too...

haha! Yeah, it scares me too, Sekhmet especially. But I'm used to being mildy disturbed by my art so much that it turns to enchantment.

What was going through my head? Queen. The band. "Don't Stop Me Now."
Also, I got tired of drawing Set in white, even if it is his colour (apart from red). I wanted to draw them NOT chibi for once, and I wanted to draw Bast. When I walk, I get images in my head and have to draw them. Hopefully next I'll do playing card style pictures for my Mythology class.

Well, Queen can do it to you, I would think.
