First of the art is amazing 😄 and second do you know what is the relatin between Toth and Nefertem in the pantheon? Like i guess the are related somehow as most of the Egyptian dieties are?
According to one story, Thoth was born from the lips of Ra at the beginning of creation and was known as the “god without a mother.” Sekhmet is a daughter of Ra so that would make him Nefertem's uncle.
In another story, Thoth is self-created at the beginning of time and, thus, there is no direct relationship between them.
The myth of Sekhmet also mentions that "Sekhmet grew angered at the deception and left Egypt, diminishing the power of the sun. This threatened the power and security of the world—thus, she was persuaded by the god Thoth to return and restore the sun to its full glory."
I like to envision Thoth as self-created, but still friendly to the other gods as their wise counselor. I also like to imagine him as a "wise uncle" to the younger gods like Nefertem, whether they are blood-related (if indeed there is such a thing among gods) or not.
Thoth is our real bro :)! The broccoli, this is funny, other words... the power of voice, “DY AJEM VOUK”!
God of magic, writing, speech, and wisdom is an obvious pick for me ;)
Thee, thee I invoke!

Thank you so much!
Nefertem is a son of Ptah and Sekhmet.

Thanks for the reply, I like the wise uncle theory more :D But I can totally see Toth as self created.
Why not both, right? It's magic and gods we talk about here anyway =)
