Gilgamesh and His Last Acts

The second piece to the Legendary Leader Gilgamesh. I took two different telling of the endings and put them together here, the first is Gilgamesh went and found a man that could bring others back to life after Enkidu died and Gilgamesh went to find immortality. After a long journey the man promised to teach Gilgamesh the secret but only if he stayed awake for 10 days, but as soon as they stopped talking Gilgamesh fell asleep for 7 days. So to make sure he couldn't deny his failure he had his wife bake a loaf of bread for every day he was asleep. When he awoke he saw the bread and left. The other ending is where the gods crack the ground so that Gilgamesh can see Enkidu again and his spirit comes up to tell Gilgamesh about hell.

Young Arthur at the Stone

Part of the Legendary Leaders thesis, this is the first of the two illustrations for King Arthur. This being the sword and the stone, Arthur's first action as king chosen by the sword to lead England as their new king. you all know the story, playing with fun designs trying to make it look kind of old and faded like it was on fabric.
