I am SO beyond excited about this!

This is my entry for :iconcricketwings: 's contest Mythological Deities. [link]

I chose her horse character Zero, [link]

to portray Anubis, one of my personal favorite mythological gods. Anubis is the Egyptian god of death, and while that seems dark he is mostly simply a misunderstood character who ushers the passed onto the afterlife, after they pass the weighing of the heart against the sacred Feather of Truth (or "Shut") that he holds. If the heart was free from the impurities of sin, and therefore lighter than the feather, then the dead person could enter the eternal afterlife.

Zero was born of a star's death and was sucked repeatedly through a black hole. He is a tortured soul who knows much and carries the very weight of the world on his back which often drives him a bit mad, I would imagine Anubis would feel quite a weight at holding the fate of all the souls in his hands.

About 6 hours, CS3

Extinction is more than the end of something with a long run in the past. Extinction is murdering everything that would have evolved from that species in the future.

I doubt a guy could be that thin AND that buff, but all is possible with Anubis! :XD:

I LOVE THIS. Anubis is one of my favorites and using Zero to represent him fits so well! My favorite parts are the scales and the Ankh :) And SO cool how you've combined Anubis's traditional dog like look with Zero's equine form. Well done!
