Random short comic LOOSELY based on my lore/ how Maahes got hired + Relationship with Set…

kinda canon to Bound by Blood kinda not-

Bastet wanted to leave and Ra didn’t trust that Shezmu, Set and Sobek were powerful enough. So for insurance got Maahes. And Maahes proved he was powerful enough to replace BOTH Bastet and Shezmu👍

Bastet still helps, she’s just not on the front line anymore, with Set and Sobek and others.

Shezmu mainly went to embalming/mummification etc.

Set and Maahes at that point knew of the other but never met prior to fighting together!

it’s been over 1,000 years since Set was overthrown and most still hate/don’t trust him btw as they should!

Anyways this mini-comic was mainly just for fun/ figuring out a simpler coloring style for more mini-comics, hope it’s entertaining!!

Hermes art drop as I figure him out. I’m highkey obsessed with him atm… I’ll post more info about my upcoming comic. It’s going to be mostly about Serapis and Dionysus but! Hermes features HEAVILY in it.

Also… warmup that go the slightest out of hand-

Older brother Hades makes me so sad like they were actually a family😔💔

i'm really enjoying bound by blood even though i've only super basic knowledge of egyptian/greek mythology!!

so, my question is: do we need to know a lot about mythology to be able to follow along later on? i will gladly read up on some if i have to lol

so excited for the next chapter!! thank you for blessing us with your beautiful story

Hii! I’m so glad you’re liking it so far!! :D

It would definitely help to know some myths particularly about Dionysus for making sense of some story elements but! Most if not all of all the gods’ canon myths have already long taken place by the current setting of Bound by Blood!

There will 100% be many MANY flashbacks on my takes on these myths, especially ones relative to the story I am telling, so it is not entirely necessary but it wouldn’t hurt!

(There will also be flashbacks to myths unrelated but relative to the featured characters ie. Horus and Hathor falling in love + many others! Your deity will most likely be featured at some point :))

I apologize again for the delay on chapter 6 but it is very long so hopefully will be worth it!!!

Just want to say I like how you depict ancient Egyptian/Kemetian gods as dark-skinned, indigenous African types rather than whitewashed. But have you ever gotten trolled for such portrayals?

Thank you!! Of course I have, there are people out there who genuinely believe ancient Egyptians were white lmao. And more, people seem to not acknowledge or see that my interpretations are all for my mythology inspired comic and Not actual depictions of the worshiped deities.

Furthermore, it astounds me how few people know meaning behind ancient Egyptians skin colours through their art, which is what I based a lot of my designs on.

Osiris’ skin is black because it represents fertility historically, and in Bound by Bloods case, also to represent that the Underworld ‘stains’ those with ashy/ kohl. It’s why Hades’ fingers/hands are almost jet black etc. (I made a post going into more detail about that on twt I will upload here someday) Before his death, Osiris was probably closer to Set’s skin tone.

Amun-Ra and Tefnut are depicted with red skin to symbolize power, I do the same in my takes and so on for others like Ptah with green skin. Again it really makes it clear to me how little people know.

In other cases like Menhit-Sekhmet, It is more to highlight their origins in regards to Bound by Blood.

In Thoths case, I simply just thought it was fitting.

I still have a lot more of the pantheon to design, and things are always subject to change!

I am happy to explain my reasonings for my depictions to those who ask respectfully, but I really can’t be bothered to entertain those people who are rude about it. But again, this is my fictional mythologically inspired takes for my comic Bound by Blood. So if it bothers people so much they really can just move on lol.
