Versus the Regal Skullhead
February 17th, 2009
I like to doodle, and boring classes are no exception. Today, as I was in my Greek Myth class, I decided to do an adaptation of a creature from an image we looked at. The topic was Near Eastern Mythology (in order to compare to Greek myth) and I drew the creature Tiamat, which Marduk faces in the Enuma Elish. The name of this piece is silly, but I only care that I got something down.
Adaptation of a creature from a depiction of the Babylonian creation myth, Enuma Elish.
I’m interested in what you have to say! What’s your feedback?
Edit:
I found the image I used for reference. I have several links but the quality is a bit iffy on some. Not all are quite te same either.

I think the colors used compliment each other well. The shading on the teath, tone of the skull, and the blue are great.
The picture reminds me of something but I can’t place it (other than a skull of course).
