Full production ready Character I did for practice. My main focus was to picture him as the God he is, calm but mighty and sublime.

Info about the Characters Mythology for those interedsted:
- Anubis has gone through multiple depictions as god of death, cemeteries, embalming, mummification, judgement over the dead and guard of the afterlife.
- He is often depicted as a Jackal or Man with a Jackal head, having a scale with him that has a white feather in one bowl. When you die, he weights your Heart against the Feather. When you lived a good and unweighted life, the Feather will be heavier and you get to travel over the Nil into the Kingdom of Osiris, the afterlife.
- The “Ankh” or “Anch” has gone through some changes in its meaning through the ancient periods but its meaning always circled around Life as itself, later immortality or never ending Life. So it fits him perfectly as the one to collect the dead.
