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...

That's really cool. I like the scales and the way you drew the fangs. I love Egyptian stuff. The Gods and Goddesses are no exception. To sum it all up, very good job!! But then again, all your work is good ^^ jira on October 10, 2004, 2:41:11 PM

I appreciate your constructive criticism, but bare in mind that if we don't dare to be different, then we're just repeating what everyone else is doing... Tho I must confess the bright colors were influencess by years of tattooing...KFelidae on October 10, 2004, 12:02:02 PM

Ah, a well-known bit of imagery used a much more compelling way than normal. And while the pallate of colours is still a bit jarring, it seems to fit here better than in previous pics. But I do question why you chose to use such bright colours on the clothes while leaving the head a washed-out gray. While it makes the eyes stand out very well, it draws the eye of the viewer to the belt more than the face or scale...
