Ancient Egyptian Series: Anubis

Hello all! Sorry, I've been constantly busy with work and health issues so I haven't been able to post much, I am so behind on the amount that I have wanted to post. Though I haven't done many looks in my downtime anyway. I guess I will just post when I have the chance and not give myself deadlines...

Anywho...This is the look that I came up with to represent Anubis. He was one of the God's of the dead and lead the recently deceased on there journey through the underworld, he was also known as the God of death or God of the Dead. Anubis was represented as a jackal or a man with a jackal's head. His statues in his jackal form were black and parts were gilded in gold and the images of him when he had the body of a man his body was gold and his head black. Black represented death and the night and yellow was the color of gold and the sun and represented the eternal, the indestructible and the imperishable. With this look I used mostly golds, black and brown.

Ancient Egyptian Series

So, I have decided to start a series based off of Ancient Egyptian Gods, Goddesses, icons, symbols, etc. I decided a long time ago that I wanted to do such a series because ever since I was a little child I was obsessed with the Ancient Egyptian culture and mythology. I will not try to make looks exactly like the hieroglyphs, statues or artwork but instead the looks will be inspired by whomever and whatever I am choosing at that moment. 

So, without further ado, we shall start the series. I am going to start with Isis.

Isis was considered the patron saint of women, mothers and children. She was also a goddess of magic. Isis is also a moon goddess, yet gives birth to the sun, creates and sustains all life. She is wife to Osiris and mother to Horus. I could go on and on, but you could look her up.

Here is the look that I came up with for her, nothing too elaborate:
