Had to re-read The Epic Of Gilgamesh (This time the Sophus Helle translation) for class, so here are some of the doodles I made along with my notes

Revisited my design for Aya a bit - I like how she turned out in this one! The scan did some weirdness to the background...

Four gods from ancient Mesopotamia. From left to right: This is Enki. He is the god of fresh waters, and of wisdom. The two streams flowing from his head are the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. His humble sheepskin clothing and curly hair identify him with the Lahmu, his people, the hairy hero-men of the sea. Ea's love for the hero, Atrahasis, caused him to take pity on humankind. When we would have been destroyed in a flood, he gave Atrahasis the secret to survive. This is Ishtar. She is Venus, the Evening Star. She is the goddess of sex, and beauty, and war, and violence; and she is the goddess of trans people, who can turn men into women, and women into men. Her symbol is the eight pointed star. Once, she went down into the underworld. When she was gone, nobody had any sex, and so civilization was threatened with extinction. A hero - a prostitute - went down into the underworld and brought her back home. This is Shamash. He is the god of the sun. He can see everything that happens every day, so his role is to administer justice. He carries the rod and ring, and a saw-tooth knife, which serve his role as judge, jury, and executioner. He is radiant. Beams of light emanate from his head. His symbol is a four pointed star with four beams of radiation. His number is 20. He drives a chariot across the sky each day. This is Sin. He is the moon. He is mysterious.

"A FLOOD OF BOILING TERROR PICKS ME UP AND WHIRLS ME, HELPLESS IN ITS FORM."

PIC(S) INFO: Mega spotlight on the demon Nergal giving a bed-ridden John Constantine a really twisted and disgusting "slip of the tongue," from "Hellblazer" Vol. 1 #8 ["Intensive Care"]. August, 1988. Vertigo (an imprint of DC Comics).

"... it's sudden electric contact with my tongue shocking my eyes wide open. A flood of boiling terror picks me up and whirls me, helpless in its form. I throw out a vain anchor of desperate wit."

-- JOHN CONSTANTINE, upon of finding Nergal with his tongue out at the foot of his bed

So-called "Ivory of Shapash" (North-Semitic Sun Goddess) Origin: Syro-Phoenician, ca. 8th century BCE Found in palace of Ashurnasirpal II Nimrud, Iraq (Assyria) (Met Museum 59.107.7, Pub Domain, Enhanced) Built by the Assyrian king Ashurnasirpal II, the palaces and storerooms of Nimrud housed thousands of pieces of carved ivory. Most of the ivories served as furniture inlays or small precious objects such as boxes. While some of them were carved in the same style as the large Assyrian reliefs lining the walls of the Northwest Palace, the majority of the ivories display images and styles related to the arts of North Syria and the Phoenician city-states. Phoenician style ivories are distinguished by their use of imagery related to Egyptian art, such as sphinxes and figures wearing pharaonic crowns, and the use of elaborate carving techniques such as openwork and colored glass inlay. North Syrian style ivories tend to depict stockier figures in more dynamic compositions, carved as solid plaques with fewer added decorative elements. However, some pieces do not fit easily into any of these three styles. Source: The Met Museum

Shamash, the Visage of Light.

Another Visage that appeared in the aftermath of the Rebellion. Which may be shocking, as it shocked me, but still. (How does that square with the fact that Nusku literally lit up the sun and stars and Shamshiel was the sun that lit up the world…? Well… you'd have to ask the authors.) At creation, all Angels interacted in one way or another with the light created by God. And the Angels were also tasked with devising ways to use it, to direct it, to oversee the work of the celestial lights.

Scarah kept his eyes on a modest little star that didn't stand out in any way in the general night sky. He liked to be small and inconspicuous, so even after the Rebellion and the Fall, he preferred this way of life. He served modestly in the Silver Legion, gaining knowledge of the light, of the world, and not standing out in any way.

As the walls of the Abyss cracked, allowing passage outside, Scarah was drawn in by the subtle call of a dying soul. A librarian girl was dying at the hands of her abusive boyfriend. He almost strangled her, but … Scarah had already taken over poor Odette's body. A burst of brightest light, a crunch of bones … He didn't quite realize that he had immediately rushed to her defense and… himself. For now they shared the same body.

He's still quiet and humble. Well, kind of. At least he's one of the nicest Cryptics in town. But his influence as the keeper of knowledge and secrets is steadily growing. Demons come to him for advice and information. Oh, he'll gladly trade his knowledge for something interesting. If you have anything to offer.
