Description

After doing a drawing of the Egyptian goddess Isis in colored pencils, I wanted to try out the same medium again with another African deity. This one would be Oya, the orisha (divinity) of storms in the mythology of the Yoruba people of Nigeria. Sorry for the clouds in the background looking messy, but I do like her pose.

Below is the earlier drawing of Isis:

Wait in the X-Men comics didn't the people in believe Storm's village thought she was this goddess or got her powers from her?
