But Beautiful art!
However, there is one anatomical quirk that's bugging me, and that's the orientation of the hands. Poor Sargon here is suffering from what paleoartists call "bunny hands syndrome". Theropod dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus were unable to pronate their hands, meaning they could not rotate their forearms so that their palms faced the ground (this is due to a groove in the ulna that locks into the radius). Instead, their palms faced each other.
I know that some aspects of your art (e.g. lions with horns and battle armor) are unrealistic because it's fantasy, so I understand if you choose not to take this error into account; just thought I would point it out, since I know you take pride in the anatomical correctness of your animals. (That's one of the main reasons I watch you!) Maybe I'm just being too nitpicky, since I come from a paleoartist background.
