This person did cover illustrations for this series of comics or graphic novels or whatever. I didn't read them, maybe I would if I had time, I'm stoked that they're out there.

I like all the stars and the flowing indication of the blood. Like, this is not a single event, this is an ongoing river of blood, maybe something inevitable about this deity consuming people and spitting out the bones 💀

I discovered this is a Lamassu and comes from traditional Mesopotamian cultures, specifically Assyrian?
