Nüwa is depicted as a creator deity. However, not many stories ascribe to her the creation of everything; they usually confine her to the creation of humanity. A legend states that Nüwa existed in the beginning of the world. She felt lonely as there were no animals, so she began to create animals and humans. On the first day she created chickens; on the second, dogs; on the third, sheep; on the fourth, pigs; on the fifth, cows; on the sixth, horses; and on the seventh, humanity. She began creating human beings from yellow clay, sculpting each one individually. After she had created hundreds of figures in this way, she still had more to make but had grown tired of the laborious process. So instead of handcrafting each figure, she dipped a rope in clay and flicked it so blobs of clay landed everywhere; each of these blobs became a common person. Nüwa still laboriously crafted some people out of clay; these people became nobles. Nüwa is also regularly called the "Snake Goddess".
I guess my photo doesn't need explanation since what's stated above is already obvious. I chose this because she's the snake goddess also the creator of animals and humans. I'm already a princess in One Piece so it's not that hard for me this week, but i hope it's not too safe for me this week.

BOOBS! SO MUCH BOOBS! Anyway, a lot of explanation, adequately describing Nüwa, as well as explaining how some of those elements link in with this picture of Boa, still, I'd like a bit more linking in the explanation, perhaps even linking the outfit to goddess as well. Going to say though, some killer legs. Face is flawless. Love the outfit, even though it's her default one.

Yeah, you're missing a lot of clothes here, but when it comes to ancient deities in art, clothing tends to be entirely optional, so it's actually fitting, here. It's pretty obvious that you spent time on researching your deity and connecting it to the shot and I think it pays off for you. I don't need links in the explanation since no other models so far have done so, so I will not hold you to a standard I'm not holding others to. I like the detail and style of the art, especially around your face. You have a great modeling pose here, too, so it's a nice marriage of modeling and theme this round. Good work.

Ow chihuahua! You can be my goddess and I will be your slave or clay model any day. This is impressive, you look larger than life (and I mean this in the best way possible) very dominating and strong. You are the focus of this photo, the feathers on your sleeves and the snake, skull appear to represent the control you have over life and death. Of course as Janice mentioned those types of links between your fashion and your goddess should have been explicitly mentioned from you.
