Lamashtu, She Who Erases....

The next painting I will be working on will be another Babylonian demon, this time a female...the demoness Lamashtu, great rival of Pazuzu. Lamashtu is described as being a mixture of lioness and donkey features, riding or kneeling upon a donkey, suckling a pig and a dog on each breast respectively, and holding twin-headed snakes in each hand. She is known as the demon of miscarriage and would steal babies from their mother's wombs in the night and then eat them. 

Personally, I find that one of the biggest goldmines of visual imagery ever and I can't wait to start working on it. 

In other news, I do have a major album cover announcement coming soon for a rather notorious death metal band. I'm really excited to announce it, but naturally I have to wait until the band does so first.

Keep checking back for the full details on both!
