Description
EDIT : Please, if you dislike my version of him or want to tell me how he exactly looks in your fantasies or books, GO AWAY ! This is my version of him, okay ? I know egyptian mythology by heart since 1996 (so many versions and possibilities...) and you don't need to tell me how to draw him ! But constructive comments about the art itself & anatomy are always welcome.
I'm ready to read your intelligent suggestions.Yeah, Anubis again. But this time, I've got a good reason for submitting this : I was in Egypt this month (now, I haven't seen the pyramids !) in front of the Red Sea, and it was great !
Loved the country, the people, the sea, the weather... ^_^AND I BOUGHT AN ANUBIS STATUE AT LAST !!! 8D (and a cute Bastet one, of course!)
I never imaged my mother would like him too... it seems it's genetic. O.O
So, I made a bunch of Anubis sketches and I choose the best among them. My personal fav is the one with Ammut.
I wonder if I should finish that one...And yeah, it seems he doesn't like that ceremonial golden painting on his eyes...
Anubis & Ammut belong to their country
Media : black pencil (+ Photoshop CS3 for their eyes, I admit...)

This interpretation of Anubis might just be my new favourite. Gotta admit, I never thought of him as a "caretaker" type.
Oh, Ammut, you silly, adorable hippo-croc-lion, you! Who wants a juicy, tender sinner's heart?

Really that is the issue with myths of all backgrounds and culture. It changes to suit the person or culture that is bringing it to life. Very cool depiction of Anubis!

Brilliant!! I love how you've still kept his clothing and overall physical appearance true to Egyptian mythology and still looking as if he is from the period, unlike some interpretations I've seen, and yet you've given him a real kind of personality in the expressions. Excellent!

So glad you noticed that I've been highly influenced by the original egyptian paintings and that I tried to respect the period as well.

You're very welcome, I also like the modern ones if they're done nicely, but I particularly loved the way you blended the historical feel with a sense of personality with this one

I like your version of Anubis. He seems more real for me like this cause you gave him several expression and outfits like he'd be like this in everyday life.
I especially like the hair, how you made it a little fuzzy
It's a good thing you added gold under his eyes in the versions where his hair is darker cause it attracts the eye to his. You've also played well with the different movment of the ears
To sum up, you've made him lively

Seems like he has followed you for some time
You and him have developed a special link ^^

Haha, indeed. ;D I've already drew the other gods, but this guy seems so special to me, I don't know why. ^^

Anubis is awesome. ^^
For some reason, every time I see him, the phrase "bitch please" comes to mind

I like the character you've given him and I especially like baby Ammut there.
Wonder what raising the little heart eater would have been like?

He's a little hairier than I expected, but that's got to be a good thing, right?
I simply adore the one with Ammut. Wanna huggle!

I wanted my version of him to look different and less "sexual".
Thank you. ^^

Ah, but he can't help being sexy. ^_^

Oh, he has to be charming of course.

I noticed in your artist comment about "this is how I draw him" and I can't agree more! I draw Anubis as a redhead. But I like this guy!

Glad to see you accept the way I'm portraying him.

This is one of the best versions i've seen. He's much more expressive than the others.
