Happy King Tut Day!

#KingTutDay celebrates the date of the discovery of Egyptian King Tutankhamen's Tomb. With this being the 100th anniversary of that discovery!

Over 3,000 years ago, King Tutankhamen became the King of Egypt at the age of 9. He died at the age of 19. "King Tut" as he is commonly referred to had his tomb discovered on November 4, 1922.

In retrospect Tutankhamen was not an especially important or memorable king; his tomb, however, was the only royal burial found completely intact by archaeologists. This allowed archaeologists to accurately record what an Egyptian king's tomb looked like and learn more about Egyptian Antiquity.

Dr. Howard Carter later recalled, “At first I could see nothing, the hot air escaping from the chamber causing the candle flame to flicker, but presently, as my eyes grew accustomed to the lights, details of the room within emerged slowly from the mist, strange animals, statues, and gold –everywhere the glint of gold”.

I especially like the "OKAY!" showing full teeth. Normal teeth. So yeah, I like the idea (from the tags) that he's trying to keep his fangs and not, you know, bite the whole throat out of someone.

I KNOW I am so not active here BUT you all (my 3 followers) know that Christmastime is for me to pick all and any suggestion or promt and make some fanart of my fave fandom: the Vampire Chronicles.

With the promt by @cup-of-lixx of "snow" and "new traditions", this year's Holiday fanart is around these guys having the "new" tradition of sending Christmas cards to Marius. I've been working is negative space lately and the style of these is very retro, inspired by old Christmas photos and magazine covers, as well as the work of ICONS Coles Phillips, René Gruau and David Aja.

Up you can see the little mock ups I made ( I don't know if Tumblr is lowering the quality or if you all can see these right when clicking), and of course here you can see the full illustrations by themselves.

Happy Christmas everyone!

For the cards I used the template Greeting Card Mockup With Easy To Modify Design from ZippyPixels.com

Buster is always a good idea and the music is just *chef kiss*

This Day in Buster…November 16, 1927

The Edmonton Journal suggests that readers ‘…enroll with Buster as he starts in college, finish with him - you gain in joy knowledge.  “College” is a fun panic and it’s worth millions.’
