Wondering about the artwork at post #647130
{tagged at e621 with sekhmet_(character) }

Artist wrote (at http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16422695/ ) "… its not sekumet or nothin' just a run of the mill lion lady …"

I asked for clarification at same FA page and reply for
"… I suppose the idea was that this is a lioness dressed in a sort of Egyptian fashion much resembling sekhmet but who is not really sekhmet. …"

The only thing she's wearing is a necklace, so don't think a sekhmet_costume tag would be appropriate.

Should artwork 647130 have a sekhmet tag?

***
Currently disambiguating the character tags: sekhmet and sekhmet_(character)

By Tag What You See, she looks like Sekhmet without the wig therefore is Sekhmet. (Do we tag something like that as bald?)

I don't get how that looks like Sekhmet rather than just an anthro lion.

I looked up Sekhmet and the two most distinctive characters that all representations included were the solar-disk-rearing-cobra on top of the head, and the long hair.

I sincerely don't get how this is getting tagged with Sekhmet. I can only think because of the stylized eyes, but those aren't a characteristic of Sekhmet.

While she's missing the Cobra crown and black dreadlocks wig, she does have the sun behind her head, and half of Sekhmet's symbol on her necklace.

Hadn't noticed the cobra before, but I don't think post #70606 or post #142137 should count either, then.

The sun being behind her head and the sun being an element of a headpiece she's wearing are different things.

At the very least those other two images have some hair, which makes it at least half of the main characteristics which define her.

But more than that, the main difference between the other two posts and this one is that they are supposed to be Sekhmet. Which is relevant, because there is a TWYS exception for character names, which does not apply for this image.

If it's supposed to look like a certain character then you should tag that character as well. For example post #721020 is tagged fudge_the_otter and toothless even though it's just one character.

Sekhmet is supposed to have black hair, not blonde, so shouldn't it be tagged alternate_color then?

Seems reasonable.

external knowledge is allowed in character name tagging. if official source says that its not sekhmet, then it does not get tagged as it
