An Anubis Photoshoot

The Anubis register

This pack draws on Anubis, the jackal god of the embalmers' hall — the black head with gold ears, the scales of judgment, the necropolis at night. An anubis costume shoot built on documented tomb iconography, not a generic Egyptian costume guess.

Photographically the register runs symmetric torchlit black in the hall of judgment, cold moonlight against one warm torch in the necropolis, and oil-lamp orange cut by a shaft of blue dawn in the embalmers' chapel. The palette holds black, gold, white and torch orange; a black jackal mask lacquered with gold ears and eyes, a broad gold collar on a bare chest, a white pleated kilt, gold armlets, and a gold was-sceptre carry the silhouette — the ears are the shape, black the palette, gold the edge.

Three looks carry the pack: standing beside the great golden scales in the hall of judgment, wrapped in a black cloak in the necropolis under a full moon with a jackal at the feet, and holding an ankh in the embalmers' chapel by lamplight. The output is photoreal — a real-looking photograph of you in that world, not a tomb painting or an illustration. It's a costume portrait; it isn't a depiction of Anubis himself, and it doesn't claim to be.

How to photograph yourself for an Anubis photoshoot

Better source photos make better portraits.

1. Even, soft lightStand near a window with indirect daylight on your face. The pack builds its own torchlight, moonlight and lamplight on top — a flat, well-lit selfie gives it the clearest face to work from.
2. Front or three-quarter angleCamera at eye level, facing it or turned slightly to three-quarter. No selfie-stick uplook, no shot from below.
3. Face fully clearHair off the face, no hats, sunglasses, or filters in the source photo. A clear, front-facing photo is the best input for an AI portrait.
4. A composed, still expressionThe Anubis register favors symmetric stillness over a big grin — a calm expression in your source photo blends more naturally into the hall-of-judgment frames.
5. Plain background is fineDon't worry about your own backdrop — the pack's three settings replace it entirely. A plain wall behind you just helps the model focus on your face.

Frequently asked questions

Will it actually look like a real photograph?

Yes. The output is photoreal — a period-accurate photograph, not a tomb painting or an illustration — built from documented details of the Anubis register: the black lacquer jackal mask, the golden scales, the necropolis, and the settings that carried them.

Is this a real photo of Anubis, or of me?

It's a portrait of you. The pack borrows Anubis's documented mask, regalia and settings as a costume and visual reference; every frame is a portrait of you and doesn't depict Anubis himself.

Can women use this pack?

The styling and sample set are built for men — the bare-chested collar and the jackal mask among them — so it reads masculine.

Can I use this as a profile picture or on a dating app?

Yes — it's a striking, well-composed portrait that reads well on either. Used honestly, as a stylised AI photoshoot rather than a claim of an actual tomb shoot, it works well on any profile.

Can I use it for a themed party invitation or gift?

Personal use like this is fine — an invitation, a themed photoshoot, a keepsake print. It isn't licensed for commercial resale.

Do I need an actual jackal mask for this to work?

You don't need any of it in real life; that's what the photoshoot supplies.

Will the photos look like me?

Every photo looks like you, well photographed. If one is nearly right, say what to change, in your own words.

Do I have to write a prompt?

No. There is nothing to write: you pick a pack, and it is ready in seconds.

How many photos of myself do I add?

Between six and twenty, from different days and in different light, with your face clear. We check each one when you add it.

What happens to the photos I add?

They are used only to create your model, on our own servers in the European Union. They are not shared and not sold.
