Research for colouring the background & Some Progress

For Becca's job - I got one background to colour: Egypt. Becca already coloured most of the background so she made it easier for me.

Luckily for me I am already quite fascinated with the topic so I had some info to help me - Here are some scanned images which will guide me to colour the blanks:

I've been collecting 'Egyptian Gods' Magazines before (Been collecting them mainly because I wanted the free statue that came with the magazine really but now I can make use them to help me!!!):

Another free gift that came with the Magazine:

Found this in the corner of my room: A souvenir from my Dad when he went to Egypt

I wanted the colour gold but since it was quite difficult to achieve that in Photoshop - I found a gold texture on the internet and used that to colour specific parts of the background:


Not sure if this is good but once I have finished I will send this off to Becca as soon as possible.

Some more research (images I found on the Internet) -On the background that I'm colouring there are some hieroglyphics and I thought I do some research to see if there's any examples/colour reference that could help:
