Afrasiyab

Umm... done while procrastinating. Might scrap later

Not an original character. Afrasiyab is an evil sorcerer emperor whom originally appears in the Persian epic Shahnameh (in a less powerful role) and later in the Urdu Dastaan, Tilism-e-Hoshruba. The meaning of his name is supposed to be 'Beyond the black river' how awesome is that!

I've only read random scraps of both. I'm not sure about the length of the Shahnameh but the latter is thousands of pages long and has difficult Urdu . There's a translation in the works but I wanna read the original!!

The Shahnameh has comics now, I'll try to get my hands on those.

_{I hope to be able to draw some Tilism e Hoshruba comics someday, a crazy dream of mine...}
