I wanted to do my own take on Gilgamesh, king of Uruk. Other than the epic of Gilgamesh this guy has appeared in many final fantasy games and some anime. He seemed pretty interesting, a king who ruled for over 100 years, described as a demi god, and went on a journey to revive his best friend.(in the epic of Gilgamesh). It was hard to shake the final fantasy renditions of him, so much so that I needed to give him face paint. Looking at this now, makes me think of the Joker.
Very interesting take on Gilgamesh. I thought Zaraki Kenpachi myself. It's refreshing to see a rendition of Gilgamesh that isn't Final Fantasy or Fate related.
