Anubis

Xenia

Canid vs canid oh my! I think after enough polls they don't need introductions anymore, but still, we've got Anubis, Egyptian god of funerary rites, protector of graves, and guide to the Underworld, who I've been informed takes the form of either a man or a full jackal (as seen above) and the jackal-headed imagery we often see is meant to be more symbolic, and not a literal form he takes. The more you know!

And of course, we've got Xenia, who was in the running to be the mascot of Linux before Tux was picked instead. Originally conceived as male by her creator, she was later reimagined by a furry artist by the name of cathodegaytube, and this new interpretation was embraced by the creator! So!

Been a hot minute since I posted here but...

I love my gods.

I love seeibg them in everythibg, basking in their light, worshipping them with sun, song, art, hygiene, care.

I love them and I have never felt so comfortable anywhere as within their arms.....

Trying to rekindle my relationship with art. Naturally, I decided to draw Anubis. Dua Anpu! <3

Hail Anpu, great gatekeeper of the Duat.

Beautiful dog-faced god, indiscriminate judge to all.

He who dwells in the middle sky,

And rules over the western mountains.
