moonvoice | [Art] Bastet and Anubis as 'Totems'

Here you can see how awesome they look side by side. Taken with a flash camera, which doesn't do justice, but does at least pick up the gold and metallic highlights throughout the adornments and spirals.

This project has made me think about doing the Vilturj gods 'as animals,' in this sort of style or series. Oooo the possibilities!

Bastet - also known as Bast, Bast-Mut, Ubasti, Baset, among many other names.

Bastet is an Egyptian cat (and sometimes lioness) Goddess within the Egyptian pantheon. Depicted here as a black cat, as opposed to a cat or lion-headed woman.

Anubis - also known as Yinepu, Inpu, Anpu, Anupu etc.

Anubis, the psychopomp / underworld god within the Egyptian pantheon is depicted here as a jackal. Before Osiris, Anubis was considered the most important god of the dead.
