Character Design for graphic novel project 'Gilgamesh the King'. I envisaged him looking like Tarzan would have really looked - naked, matted hair, beard, massively muscled.
The story and look is based partly upon authentic ancient Sumerian stories and artifacts and partly Von Daniken's Chariots of the Gods inspired ideas of a high tech ancient race of 'gods'.
The first 10 pages of the graphic novel can be seen in the Gilgamesh section of my online folio.
