    Hi

    First of all I like the design

    I would slightly alter the eye of horus to something more like this

    http://rlv.zcache.com/eye_of_horus_sculpture_photosculpture-p1539391257325045683r0w_400.jpg

    But if you prefer a coloured iris

    http://embode.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/the_eye_of_horus2.jpg

    (These are just examples)

    Another small detail is that Horus is rarely depicted within a frame of the Pyramid as he was the God of Sky and Battle and so was rarely seen trapped unless passing judgement upon his throne.

    There are many variations/re-incarnations of Horus over the centuries so the pyramid can still work.

    Also I would suggest thinking carefully about the colour for the sun.

    Orange and brown pigments do not have great staying power compared to other colours and you might want to consider a lighter colour or even black and shade for the sun with colour highlights.

    Great concept though.

    That would take around 2 hours or so guestimate is £150.

    I have to head out for a bit but will hunt round my list of notable artists (if I find a decent one I jot it down) and post up later.

    Take Care

    brill I like the design of the first link but with the blue iris (my whole family have blue eyes 😀 )
    i dont want the eye to be trapped by the pyramid more infront of it so to say, and yes i wasnt to sure on colours for the sun black and grey sounds nice tho, egyptian history fascinates me and would use this as a starter would like eventualy to have an egyptian god/goddess thinking mabee isis along my spine holding up the sun(on my neck) what do you think of that?
    thanks for the input its well appreciated
