Sargon of Akkad, ancient Mesopotamian ruler (reigned c. 2334-2279 BC), one of the earliest of the worlds's great empire builders. He established the region's first Semitic dynasty, which left a lasting impression on Mesopotamian culture, and was considered the founder of the Mesopotamian military tradition.

What was the inspiration of his looks, have you based it on some text or was just your imagination? ;]

I like the painting - I love it, in fact. To be honest, though, Sargon looks less like a Mesopotamian and more like Donald Pleasance.

You are right . I wanted to give Sargon both a western and a modern look.
