[/color][/color]Persian mythology developed in what is now Iran after about 1500 B.C. About a thousand years later, a religion known as Zoroastrianism emerged in the region. It held on to many of the earlier beliefs but added new themes, deities, and myths. The result was a mythology based on a dualistic vision: a cosmic conflict between good and evil.
Background and Sources. The roots of Persian mythology lie in the steppes of southern Russia and Central Asia. Between 1500 and 1000 B.C., Indo-European peoples migrated south from the steppes into the regions now known as Turkey, Iran, and northern India. Those who settled in Iran became the Persians. Their mythology had much in common with that of the early Hindus and probably developed from a common Indo-European source. In time, the Persians also absorbed influences from Mesopotamia* on their western border.
The religious reformer and prophet Zoroaster (probably born around 628 B.C.) founded the faith that dominated Persia until the arrival of Islam in the A.D. 600S. Apart from somewhat unreliable accounts by ancient Greek historians, the earliest information about Persian mythology comes from Zoroastrianism’s sacred book, the Zend-Avesta or Avesta. Much of the original Zend-Avesta was lost after Alexander the Great conquered Persia in 334 B.C. What survives is a set of writings gathered and arranged between A.D. 200 and 600. One section, the Gathas, consists of songs believed to have been composed by Zoroaster. Much mythological material can be found in another section containing Yashts, hymns addressed to angels and heroes.

I think your most recent head design is a bit to remanscint of a Giger alien head/face from the “Alien” series of films. The orriginal however doesn’t and perhaps adding the horns will make a difference.
The colour images look great and the distorted pose really adds to making the demon seem like a demon.

I agree with Legacy40k, when I saw the thumbnail next to your thread I immediately thought of Giger’s Alien. I think your previous design is interesting, the lack of eyes adds to it I think, makes him seem insane. I’m not sure about the leg positions though. They might be twisted a bit too much.

Spawn of the wicked AHRIMAN, who created it as a Weapon of Mass Destruction, AZHI-DAHAKA went on a terrible rampage too horrific to describe.
