Anubis technically isn't a death god. He was the god of the process of entombment. In Egypt, jackals would often dig up corpses and feed on them, and the Egyptians believed a body must be preserved properly for its soul to reach the Duat, so they invoked a jackal god to command the jackals and other similar beasts to protect the bodies of the dead. The true death gods of Egypt were Seker, Osiris, and Sobek, and to a degree, Horus.
Also, Set isn't a death god at all. He is a god of chaos and darkness, the "yin" of the "yang" of the justice and order (known as Ma'at) of Ra.
This didn't mean he was a devil either. It was considered necessary and correct to worship Set as well. The closest thing Egypt had to a "devil" was the serpent Apep, or Apophis (where we get the word Apocalypse from), who Ra had to slay every night for the sun to rise.

I agree with the above. He was a god of death in the sense that he led souls to Osiris, his father, to be judged. Seth is merely a god of the wild deserts, or a 'chaos' god.
Also, Sekhmet is Anubis's mother.
But still cute. XD

No, Nephthys was Anubis' mother. She seduced Osiris in a fit of sexual frustration by taking the form of Isis.

in original myth Ra was the father of Anubis while having no mother making this like a relationship similar to Zeus and Hera being together Bro and Sis also in early myth anubis was god of the dead until osiris died and was reborn but even then osiris was seen more as a god of the afterlife with anubis retaining his title and even in later it was normally seen as Set or Seth and Nephthys, it being osiris with nephthys would not fit into story line

well actually in both early and late myth he was the god of the dead until osiris died

ammm,anubis is not the god of death...this is seth,anubis is the god that his job is to bring the soul of the dead man from the corps to the last test that will dicide if the soul will find the serenity of death or will be eaten by an half aligator half lion monster.
this draw is great,i like it very much!keep it up!
and come visit my gallery,it will make me very happy.
