This illustration re-imagines Anubis and Ammut based on contemporary fashion and the general state of the world. I took both traditional representations of them and stereotypical representations and went in a new direction. I wanted to create a different kind of Anubis.
I designed Ammut as Anubis' service animal, creating a way to bring her into spaces she otherwise would not be able to. It also provided a way to modernize the diety.
I began with various photographs of the Pizza hut in Cairo. After fixing the perspective, I sketched in the characters and began to block in value and rough color. The image was predominantly worked at 50% or smaller.
