I think this is very cool and top notch imagination. Composition is quite unique. Well done. I love it! Keep up the great work!

Janus, there is nothing to like as this is part of history of ancient Egypt and it refers to The Eye of Horus. The Udjat eye represents the eye of the god Horus which was torn from his head by the storm god Seth. It is a composite of the human eye and was used as an amulet against injury. Horus was worshiped all over Egypt in many different forms, as sky god, sun god, god of kingship and as son of Isis. In the Contendings of Horus and Set, the myth which tells about the fight between these two gods for the rulership of Egypt, Set injures the eyes of Horus. They are healed by Hathor who uses gazelle´s milk on them. The healed eyes became the symbol for perfection, called the 'Wedjat' or 'Udjat' Eye and are spoken of in singular. Amulets in the form of eyes were used as a sign of protection and were worn around the neck or placed in mummy wrappings. Besides protection, they can stand for various things: the strength of the King, for kingship, for protection against Set, and others. Just some history.
