The other side of the pouches I had printed up. Wapwawet, a more obscure white canid god Sometimes said to be the brother of Anubis. Usually portrayed as a white jackal or wolf. This is the first time I've ever drawn him. 9x12 acrylic and mixced media on illustration board.

Wapwawet? Is that another way to write Wepawet?
Anyway, if I remember it right, Wepawet was also a god of war, so I find it a little funny we haven't seen him with Sekhmet. In fanart anyway.

AFAIK It's Wepwawet and Upuaut as potential spellings for him. God of War and gives directions for the troops to find their target and destination. Has a bow to shoot shooting stars to guide them. But can also apply to help finding solutions for tough decisions or tricky situations.
Thanks for the detailed rundown. I had wondered why a god of war also was a 'opener of the way'.
I've read that title be translated as 'Opener of the Way to Victory'.
And it's great to see art of poor forgotten Wepwawet/Upuaut here on FA.

Yep, this fellow needs more exposure around the fandom.
Not THAT way...
Okay, maybe that way, too.
