Looks like the entire scene is coming together; keep it up. Maybe move on to other parts of the scene so you don’t focus too much on the demon. Nice work on the bloody mace :slight_smile:

One of the Daevas, Aeshma Daeva (“madness”) is the demon of lust and anger, wrath and revenge. He is the personification of violence, a lover of conflict and war. Together with the demon of death, Asto Vidatu, he chases the souls of the deceased when they rise to heaven. His eternal opponent is Sraosa.

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.

Hey Amir, nice update. The background looks great :thumbsup: .

I know it’s a bit too late in the challenge for these critiques to matter, but better I say them now than never. For this challenge I don’t think the entire scene captures the steam punkness; Aeshma Daeva is steam punked out (minus his legs) but the rest of the scene seems normal. There’s a lack of a story going on or much description in the scene of who Aeshma Daeva is (other than his legendary bloody mace). This is more about the composition of the scene really. This is for future reference I guess; and these are just my silly little opinions :stuck_out_tongue: .

Great job on the painting though.
