I loved the strip ^_^ Well done

Awesome work on all the pages ^_^ The hat off in the last bit is a nice touch.

Very well done. Now, after this intro movie is where you get all the guns and get to run around the Afterlife in the new FPS game, right? ;)

Yes he DOES! XD I'm his fan... >_> <_<

Except for Thoth having a sparrow's beak at points, awesome. ^_^

That would be Horus.

...Ah, they were drawn similarlly enough that I failed to note the transition. My bad.

Though His beak is, as noted, a bit more sparrow-like than hawk-like.

I knew I should have kept the black marks. And I wasn't really looking at an example outside of the old artwork; my bad.

Just have the upper beak go down past teh lower at the end and en in a vicious, curved point- they're made to tear flesh, after all.

uhh, you're thinking of He-of-the-Shining-Headdress, the great Ra; he First Pharaoh, Son of Isis was a falcon.

...Whom is also known as Horus AKA Horus-Ra, etc.

they were sorta combined as Re-Horakhty.

but they were still different birds...

Honestly, that's kinda debatable- Much more than other mythologies, Egyptians had a much longer history in which their beliefs were recorded, and the gods themselves changed, merged, and assumed other identities, or absorbed each others powers and portfolios, its difficult to say consistently who was who for several individuals, and the passage of time makes it even more obscure.

Personally, due to the sheer number of beings that held the title of "Ra" at one point or another, I've stopped viewing it as a separate being, but rather a title/position of powers in which various gods assumed when they became popular enough, sort of similar how the title of Pharaoh conferred godlike status an power to a human.

true, true... and some of their portrayals look the same save for Heru wearing the Joined Crown of Upper and Lower Egypt, and Re wearing the Wadjet sun disc.
guess it was really popular back then to associate with the Sun-aspect...
even my favorite deity had ties to it

Well, it was a symbol of the leader of the gods. AN you wanted your favorite god to get top billing, right?

aheh, whoever said Amun was my fave?

I wasn't saying yours *personally*, I mean the favorites of the Egyptians at the time.

oups

Nice rendering of the last jugment.
I've only read a few books about it, but so far I cn't spot any mistakes. X3

Wow. This took some serious taste (and serious work!). I've never seen such a vivid description of Egyptian mythos before. Well, none that was dignified. Very good work! I really enjoy the way you chose to represent each particular character. Interesting that you drew Anubis more like an actual jackal than the image of jackals that the Egyptians illustrated.

I did start out a bit more like their drawings? But I decided I should do it my way since it looked more natural.

Well, it turned out for the better, I'd say. Much more original and 'real' this way. =) I'd much rather meet up with your Anubis than the one the Egyptians depict, at least visually.

Am I the only one that thinks it's much more likely for Anubis to be a Saluki?

Excellent. Its good to see someone else who knows about this stuff. :) I also must thank you for helping me remember Ammit's name. I remembered there was a hippopotamus/crocodile beast that ate the hearts of the unworthy, but I forgot its name.

Two thumbs up.

Awesome. And I totally had to do crazy research for this. Those pictures in the background? Those are from a book I found at my university's library. The book is falling apart and is in a jacket that says 'Please handle with care, the book is very fragile'. It feels like . .. archaology.

Woohoo! I'm a fan too!

Can tell that someone did his homework on this one.

Hurray for Anpu!

Ooh, your watermark is showing X3

Good stuff, Rick ^^

Very well done comic. Thanks for sharing it.

Just to chime in... excellent work!

This was really cool. I enjoy the fannish stuff with Anubis, but I also really appreciate someone doing something so true to the mythology.

I also liked the first-person point of view for the comic. I haven't seen that done before, that I can recall, so it gave it a different feel, which worked well for the whole judgement of the dead scene. Nice job on this!

Woot! Love the comic!

Well done on this, you did an amazing job.

going for brunch in starbucks? ^^

this comic so ROCKS. And Anpu keeps being THE God

Anubis was always my favorite pre-Egyptian god. and the way you drew him makes me just want to face the balance of Ma'at (Maät) myself, if only to get the guy's god's authograph XD
