Two Queens of the Nile at Twilight

These two queens (one a Spinosaurus aegyptiacus and the other Homo sapiens) come from deep in the past of the Egyptian Nile basin, albeit from very different time periods. Together, they’re spending the twilight stargazing by the great African river that defines their shared kingdom.

Originally this started as a simple pencil drawing juxtaposing two of my favorite subjects since childhood, dinosaurs and ancient Egyptian civilization. A friend of mine suggested that I color it in and set it on a beach at night, and so this scene was born (albeit, it takes place on the Nile floodplain rather than a literal seashore). It took the whole afternoon to finish the whole undertaking, but all that effort paid off in the end.

I wonder if the Egyptian human queen believes her Spinosaurus companion has any ties to the crocodile god Sobek?
