This
Chinese New Year, which starts on the 16th of February 2018, is the Year of the
Dog. So my illustrations show one of my favorite mythological Egyptian Gods
called Anubis. Here I drawn him as a puppy that is the new pet for the
protagonists of my novel taking place in planet Twinmortal: The blond
red-haired girl Amaranth and the King of Onom with Egyptian appearance called
Sun Wukong.
To know
more about Anubis in Egyptian mythology I recommend you to visit the National Archeological Museum (MAN) in Madrid which website has plenty of information both in English
and Spanish.
Sun Wukong
is the character of the month for January. He was created in the second part of
the novel when Amaranth, Loto and Enyo are traveling together in planet
Twinmortal trying to find the castle in the map. Therefore, apart from personal
sources, he is based on the Ancient Egypt that arose an interest in me because
I always liked movies like The Mummy (1999, Dir. Stephen Sommers) and
videogames set in Egypt like Tomb Raider The Last Revelation (1999, Core Design) but also he was combined with my fandom for Shonen manga characters
especially Son Goku from Dragon Ball (1984-present, Opening 2 which is one ofthe best songs “We Gotta Power” by Hironobu Kageyama) created by Akira
Toriyama.
I wish
everyone a Happy New Year and to read as much as you can anywhere and anytime!
