Welp everyone. Not originally made for this, here's a goddess that stole all of the influence over earth XD
Even though there are many depictions of Inanna-Ishtar, this card was for the Album Cards contest, and therefore, based on the song "Gates of Babylon" by Volbeat, and in the same sense, on the tales of the Mesopotamian God Inanna stealing influence over all aspects of mortal life, in the form of objects known as Mes. Then. skipping a lot of details to get to the juicy part, she basically journeyed into the underworld, carrying 7 pieces of clothes, each representing one of the Mes that best defined her. Obviously, that didn't turn out so well... but she did make it back.
(Skipped a lot of details. Feel free to look up the tales yourself.)
