Inspiration from Egyptian 2

Anubis, is another famous God of Egyptian.

Anubis (Ancient Greek: Ἄνουβις) is the Greek name for a jackal-headed god associated with mummification and the afterlife in ancient Egyptian religion. In the ancient Egyptian language, Anubis is known as Inpu (variously spelled Anup, Anpu, and Ienpw).

The oldest known mention of Anubis is in the Old Kingdom pyramid texts, where he is associated with the burial of the Pharaoh.At this time, Anubis was the most important god of the dead but he was replaced during the Middle Kingdom by Osiris.

 This is a very sexy Anubis... XD
I like the way he draw the muscle! And the way of colouring...

This is such a fantastic work!!!!!
This Anubis looks soo powerful!! I like this kind of drawing style. An the background, it makes Anubis like the only king of the world!

This is another "fanart" of Anubis. I like the weapon,equipments and his "skirt". :D
He looks very cool with the shadow on his face and those shining eyes.

These Anubis look more evilly than the first two. I like the third one's colouring.


Here are some "fanart" of other gods.

 

Ra. God of the sun.

 

This is another artwork from the artist who draw the second Anubis.

With the sun behind him, I can actually feel that he is the one who control the land and the world.

The most powerful god of Egyptian.

Sekhmet, the warrior goddess as well as goddess of healing for Upper Egypt. She is depicted as a lioness, the fiercest hunter known to the Egyptians. It was said that her breath created the desert. She was seen as the protector of the pharaohs and led them in warfare.

 

I love this Sekhmet's eyeliner.

Really really have to thanks for these artist. Although I don't know who you are, but I really appreciate your works. Thanks for sharing such a gorgeous works to the world.

And too, I have to appreciate the Egyptian, for creating such a great world.

After nearly five thousand years, you're still providing lots of  inspirations for most of the artists in the world.

Without you, this world would be boring . And I can't imagine, if there's really a doomsday，how much effort and time have to be taken to recreate the world and build the civilization again.

I wish someday I can go nearer with you.

And thanks for reading my articles, my beloved audiences.

 Thank you.

Inspiration from Egyptian 1

If you ever read books about Ancient Egypt, you must have a little bit knowledge about their gods and goddess.
Especially the famous Osiris, Isis and Horus.

From left: Horus, Isis

Egyptian are really good story tellers. Their myth and legends are far more interesting than the novels now a day. Each of the character had been given a story, to make them alive. And somehow, these stories and characters have become the inspirations of lots of artists.

From left: Horus, Osiris, Isis.

Osiris,Isis and Horus are one family. They are the most famous god and goddess among those 2000+ gods and goddess.

And so, there's a lot of "fanart" of them.

This is an artwork derived from The legend of Isis and Osiris. It is a valuable Pharaonic myth written in about 4000 BC. ,and is -like most of the ancient Egyptian legends- closely linked to religious beliefs and worship of the sun and the glorification of the River Nile.

This artist used dot drawing to complete this artwork. Isis is saving his husband, try to revive him. And we can clearly see their son, Horus, from the wing of Isis.
I like the emotion of Isis, it looks so harmony and she's showing the affection of a wife and mother.

 Does this look familiar? Yes, this is the concept art from Age of Mythology!
One of the character that you can choose to play in Egypt tribe is Isis.
I like this Isis, she looks so strong.

This is an artwork from Daren Bader. I love the background, especially the front part. With the fire's affection and the reflection of the water, it makes Isis looks so illusion.

And Seth, Osiris's younger brother, killed Osiris to take over his throne. At the end he was defeated by Osiris's son, Horus. And he was banished from the kingdom, become the god of chaos in the desert.
 
This artwork really shows the frantic and cruelty of Seth.

I'll share more artists' artwork in the next post :D
