Remains of Seleucia-on-the-Tigris, Iraq. While most great cities of Mesopotamia were built along the Euphrates, Seleucus I chose the Tigris. By the 1st cent AD, it allegedly had 500K people living in it, & later great cities like Ctesiphon & Baghdad would be built nearby
It's my birthday so I drew some ancient Mesopotamian sculpture.
These scorpion-men of ancient Mesopotamia are best known for guarding the gates of the sun god in the Epic of Gilgamesh

Looking at Ken Ham's batshit Creationist displays and Darren Aronofsky's Noah movie and graphic novel makes me want to write an isekai set in Old Mesopotamia, with pagan gods, biblically accurate angels, dragons that look like dinosaurs and demigods like Gilgamesh and Semiramis.
‘El ciervo sin corazón’ es el tercer título que ilustramos para Ta Chien Publishing. Fue divertido dar vida a este zorro maquiavélico, uno de esos animales habladores que siempre nos han fascinado en las fábulas de Esopo: https://t.co/AAmox3R1dE
