Description
Description
Anubis: Son of Osiris (god of the underworld) and Ephthys (goddess of fertility)... As god of death Anubis weights the souls of the dead on a scale against truth, to see if they be worthy to be judged by his father Osiris or loose their spirit to Ammut, a beast known as the "Devourer of souls"... It was Anubis who embalmed and wrapped his father's body in bandages, creating the first mummy... Commissioned piece...

Think I missed that one, but I'm glad you like...ToadslyQuinne on January 28, 2005, 12:46:28 PM
Oh wow, I love this a great deal. Anubis is my favourite Egyptian god. Have you ever seen Freakazoid? They had a short on this episode of a market called "Anubis Markets". Part of it was, "Look for the sign with the jackle-headed man." ^__^
More great colours and very groovy, dynamic shading. Noice.

It's not that is head is too small it's just that the image is set from a different prespective or point of view (foreshorten effect)... Sanokura on January 20, 2005, 5:05:32 AM

Than you both for your kind words and inside information... That's what I love about all the myths, they bring alot more than just what's typically known about them... Sanokura on January 17, 2005, 2:47:53 AM

well....anubis has the head of the jackel, and the egyptians believed that they hung around graveyards (which is true becuase they're scavangers) they very i belive from grey to black, and might possibly be brown. i think the washed out grey is a kind of representation of the fact that they were the eaters of the dead...kind ghost deamons of their time. you know what i mean?DragonicFlames on January 4, 2005, 5:51:56 AM
;:gasp:: It's MEH GOD! I looked over this five times and never saw this picture! ::faver:: OO; How could I miss it?! Yes, it perfectly displays the heart of the victom being weighed, but I always thought of it being more heart-y because he is the god of mummifcation. You know what I mean? oO;
