Hey, guys! What’s up? :D
After so much searching (I even asked my sister @lovesoldier69 to help me choose the creatures) I decided on two. Actually, there were 3 of them, but I don't know if I had a chance to draw the last one. Well, now I present to you the first one.
Ammyt (other spellings: Ammet, Ammut, Ahemait). She was a goddess of the ancient Egyptian religion. As a funeral deity, she was known as the devourer of death, soul-eater or great of death. She was represented as a crocodile-headed being, the front legs were of a lion and the hind legs of a hippopotamus.
Ammyt remained with Anubis in the "Judgment Hall of Osiris" while Djehuty (God of Wisdom) compared the weight of the heart of the deceased with the Maat's feather (symbol of Truth, Justice and Universal Harmony).
For the soul can be considered "fair of heart", the feather and the heart should weigh the same. If the heart was heavier than the feather, that soul was considered impure and Ammyt devoured it. Therefore the soul couldn't enter the Aaru, a heavenly place where Osiris and other Gods were.
The Weighing of the Heart
Here are some images of the process
Well, that’s all. If you liked it, you can upvote or resteem this post, so that, Ammyt devours the hearts of others if they're not pure :P
Have a nice day, guys! <3

That gestural line art technique is very provocative, and well emphasized in all the right places. I'm very intrigued by it.

Thanks!
I didn't think that it would look so flashy while drawing. When using chalk as you can see in the process, I didn't like it at all, but scribbling with a black marker made a big difference :D

Definitely. The intensity and chaos of this linework brings out a sense of terror @sunravelme has felt and relayed already.

This is my favorite entry. ❤️
I spell her name as Ammit, but this Soul eater has a cameo in my novel. Beautiful work.

I didn't know it either, haha. Ammyt is considered a goddess, but in several pages refer to it as a demon or a monster. I think it's because of its appearance.
