in ancient egypt, the canopic jars were used to store the organs during mummification. the intestines, stomach, liver and lungs were removed to prevent the mummy from getting putrified(grossest word ever). each jar represents one of horus's sons, and each son/jar holds a specific organ. and each of the sons/jars are protected by different goddesses.

This turned out really good! I really like the final version of all of their faces, especially the baboon's funny nose and mouth. It'll be nice to see them on a coloured background, I'm sure their bodies will pop out more then.
haha, noice!
