This scene is inspired by Nepthys, goddess of night, rivers and  sleep. She is friend and protecter of the dead,  guarding souls on their journey to the underworld.  In some legends she is also considered mother to Anubis, who ushers souls from the world of the living to the afterlife, hence the jackal headed guards at the entrance to the underworld.

Nephthy's cloak  shows an Ankh design, in keeping with her role  in the life/death cycle, though thats rather obscured by the way its draped.  The anubis figure  is an amalgam of M4 and the DAZ milennium dog, which works surprisingly well - hiding M4's head  and neck, and using that of the dog instead, carefully positioned and with suitably edited mats.  I had originally thought to use the Lycanthropos model, but there simply  isn't enough by way of clothing and props for that figure.  In this case I used the "Blue Heirophant" armour set, but have modded the mats particularly on the scythes. « Less
