Battle Artist - Anubis

This is going to take some explanation....

This week at Battle Artist, the challenge was to do a piece on Anubis, the Egyptian god of the afterlife, who has a dog/jackel head.

My mind wandered to doing a painting about dogs.....and I thought about the famous Coolidge paintings of Dogs playing Poker from the early 1900s. I chose "Bold Bluff" as the basis for my painting.

I replaced the common dogs, with more famous characters ... i.e. the standard Great Dane became Scooby Doo, the bulldog became Uga, the collie became Lassie, and the dealer is now Anubis, who doesn't seem to like his current situation.

I changed the paintings in the background to heiroglyphics and a pyramids scene.

Anyway, this is ridiculous...and I hope alot of fun.
