Or "How To Tell The Different Egyptian Jackal Deities Apart From A Very Long Way Away, part 1". Illustrator, 5h.
You wake up in an endless, grey desert. You're not sure how you got here; the last thing you remember was– Oh. Right. You just died. There's a distant echo in the back of your head of wanting to utterly freak out about that, but, well. You're dead. You don't have any glands to flood you with adrenalin any more. Just a memory of them.
A little after you realize this, the hazy clouds on the horizon shift in your vision. Nothing moves; you just see them as a man made of stars and jackal, now. Or maybe wolf. You're not sure. He feels like a friend, though. Smells like frankincense and maple syrup.
His name, he says, is Wepwawet, and he's your guide to the Duat. Maybe you remember him? No? Ah. Sometimes you do, he says. Sometimes you even knew him in life. He's solved a few problems for you in some of your past lives. Regardless, here you are now. He's got a map of the underworld. He'll guide you wherever you want to go, help clear a path through the more dangerous parts, maybe take you to his cousin Anubis' court if you think you're ready for what happens there. But if not? Hey, whatever. He knows some interesting places to show you down here. Maybe a few places to improve your chances when you go visit the judge. Or maybe just some places to have some fun before you go back to the world of flesh. Pick a direction.
More details on this one are over on my blog.
Patrons can get the Illustrator source and a high-res copy over here.

Who says I wasn't, when I made that up? I give that song my all, all the time! :D
Well you did say you were doomed :)
maybe just doomed to a hug from this cutie when you meet him.

Really all the Egyptian jackal deities who aren't Anubis get short shrift. Thanks!
Let's swing by Khenti-Amentiu and Anpu and have a jackals' night out. : )
If you are not a jackal at the beginning of jackal's night out, jackal transformation services will be provided.
How wonderfully convenient! *wiggles her taller ears with delight*
(Lovely work as always, by the way. A neon-soaked afterlife isn't quite so foreboding.)

You bring a lot more texture to your illustrator work these days, sparkly and amazing
