Magna Mater
I started dolling the last round entry for TMP [link] “Another place” as a Norse vision of Inanna as Freya. But when I added the lions, (not cats)… I got… Cibeles (or Magna Mater)!
If you do a little research, many love/war goddess had the same atributes and myths in ancient cultures. So, finally Inanna was dressed as her greek-roman vision: Cibeles/Magna Mater. voila!
I took several references for the lions and chariot, mostly from the statue in Madrid, real lions and other Cibeles and Freya depictions (I chose a war chariot with 2 wheels). I have also seen the HBO “Rome” (lol) while I was dolling her 
And… Fur is fun to do! But I don’t like so much the lioness 
Inanna MP2ºR
2nd round doll for the Mythology Pageant with the tag “In This Time”
The goal is make the god in a modern context, with a mortal job or something like this
I chose for Inanna “Women’s Advocate”, because she’s also a warrior goddess and she may fight for women rights and protect them from injustice. 
I kept her symbols at her golden pin and carved in her table. Also both lions are over the books ;) (if you didn’t noticed

Mother of Dragons
Daenerys Stormborn, the Unburnt, Mother of Dragons. With Drogon, Viserion and Rhaegal.
I want to post this before but some people are still watching the series… so… here is!
I totally hate that they kept her hair safe from fire… D:
It’s a very tiny and quick doll. But I like it.
Inanna – Morning Star
I chose the goddess Inanna (also known as Ishtar or Astarte and many other names), queen of heaven, goddess of sexual love, fertility and war.
I spent a lot of time researching for make a good dress for her (rules of contest don’t let me make her naked, but this was not my idea, I wanted a dress), inspired by the murals and rests with her image. I also focused in her role as the morning star, her sybol is the an eight-pointed star or a rosette, you can see on both versions. In the fullbody doll you can see her with all her glory (and more war-like dress) and some atributes, a horned headress, the lions (they look horrible, but they are inspired by sumerian art, make realistic lions is boring! [link] ), the knot…

Inanna – Portrait
My entry for the mythology pageant. [link]
I chose the goddess Inanna (also known as Ishtar or Astarte and many other names), queen of heaven, goddess of sexual love, fertility and war.
The portrait resembles a noble sumerian woman (Shub-ad) that was used for inspiration for her headress. My idea was that the goddess appeared like the in myth that tells her visit to the underworld, before she have to pass the 7 gates and drop all her jewels and clothes until she stands naked before her sister Ereshkigal.
