God, this is GORGEOUS!

When I go to the Eqyptian afterlife, I'm definitely expecting a huge, buff, intimidating Anubis. Getting his femboy apprentice would be a pretty welcome surprise.

Good work mate.

Dammit, I wanted to see Tartarus, now I'm stuck with whatever the Egyptians have as underworld.

For anyone curious, this is internet-script fake Egyptian: just heiroglyphs arbitrality assigned to English alphabet letters, like that used by modern tattoo artists and jewelry makers.

In ancient Egyptian, this is pure gibberish, because there is no direct comparison between English and Old Egyptian. Hieroglyphs are not letters, but sounds & ideas... more like emoji than an alphabet. Like modern Hebrew, the vowels are all omitted from writing, so we have to guess & infer what those originally were. Egyptian had sounds that have no equivalence in English, and lacked sounds we take for granted in English (such a "L").

For reference, these appear to be the hieroglyphs used here:

V1(rope) D36(arm) E23(lion) V31(basket with handle) V4(lasso) G17(owl) D36(arm)
X1(bread) V4(lasso)
M17a(reeds) V4(lasso) G43(quail chick) D21(mouth)
G1(vulture) I9(viper) X1(bread) D36(arm) D21(mouth) E23(lion) M17(reed) I9(viper) D36(arm)

And here's what they actually transliterate as:

SnT-a-rw-k-wA-m-a
t-wA
ee-wA-w-r
A-f-t-a-r-rw-i-f-a

The period is meaningless & unnecessary.

I thought a little Egyptian translation trivia might be interesting for some. :)

That's fascinating, actually.

But now the interesting question: What would be the right thing to put in the speech bubble in your opinion?

While I can recognize some hieroglyphs, can spot name cartouches and know the most common determinators that categorize names (which identify a name as male, female, god, etc.), and know which order to read the hieroglyphs at a glance (they always face the start of a line)... my understanding of reading ancient Egyptian is still far too novice-level to answer that. You'd have to ask a proper Egyptologist.

For the above, I had to use some online reference material, both to find all the glyphs and to check my work for accuracy.

My reference sources suggest something like "ii-wey, A'aru" might be an approximation of the English phrase here.
"ii-wey!" means "welcome!" ... it's basically the same thing as ''ii-ti!" (hello!), but more emphatic.
"em hotep" might also be used; it means "in peace" and is used in a meeting or parting.
"A'aru" is what the Egyptians called their concept of the afterlife, which was the idyllic Field of Reeds.

A common misconception is that Anubis stands to judge the deceased at the scale, but this is wrong. Anubis is merely the guide through Duat, the underworld, on the path from their tomb to a queue of souls awaiting judgement. At the end is the Hall of Truth, where Osiris, Thoth, Ma'at, and the Fourty-Two Judges stand to observe the arrivals and the Scales of Justice. While a soul waits, it is comforted by various minor deities, including Anubis' daughter Qebhet, who brings the soul cool water refreshment. When it is their turn, a soul recites the Declaration of Innocence, asserting one by one that they have not committed any of the 42 sins... then their heart is weighed against the feather of Ma'at. If it is heavier, it falls to the floor, where the monster Ammut devours it & the soul is destroyed. If not weighed down by sin, then a soul may pass into the mirror-image of the living world, A'aru. In some versions of the story, after passing the Hall of Truth a soul would still need to pass a final test: being kind and courteous to the ferryman Hraf-haf, in spite of his obnoxious & surly nature, before they would be rowed across the river to A'aru. Once there, they would find everything they had cherished in life, including their family, pets, home, and riches, just as they had left it in the mortal realm... for everything in A'aru is mirrored from the mortal realm, as they are bound together. The soul can then live eternally in perpetual springtime paradise in the presence of the gods.

Well he's a cutie, wouldn't mind seeing him on the way to the afterlife

If hotties like that are on the other side, sign me up!

by the way; do you ever do digit-grade legs?

these can be commissioned - but for my personal work I prefer plantigrade :)

Interesting, what does he offer?

This is fantastic, a clever take on Anubis that has just the right amount of modernization of the ancient Egyptian tropes. Feels like a concept Pixar would use for a movie on the theme. In fact I would certainly love to see a whole animated movie made along these lines.
