Ramesses II



Ramesses II, referred to as Ramesses the Great, was the third Egyptian pharaoh of the Nineteenth dynasty. He is often regarded as the greatest, most celebrated, and most powerful pharaoh of the Egyptian Empire.

I looked at and experimented with a lot of images before I settled on these. There's quite a bit of Overlay Mode  and Emboss used in this image.  Osiris didn't make the final cut.

Layer 5 is the hieroglyphics at the bottom. I found some hieroglyphic brushes and made a document using them, then I copy/pasted it onto my image and used Emboss and Overlay.

The Fibonacci Spiral was simply used as a guide.
