Ishtar and the Descent ino the Underworld Ideas

Idea for this Myth for a piece of Art Work


  • Ishtar travelling through the different gates and having to take a piece of clothing of each time.  (female). Maybe a slow transition of her taking her clothes off, seeing her at each gate taking off individual pieces of clothing. All the gates as theirs 7, meaning one of the 7 sins. Making my art more interesting
  • Ishtar lunging and fighting with Underworld Queen. Due to the fact she had to lose all her clothing, she fought with the queen. A basic brawl here, and probably have to draw the god Ishtar naked due to the fact she has been stripped of her clothing
  • The Queen of the Underworld sends 60 diseases onto the God Ishtar and basically entraps her in death. Due to the fact that she brawled with her, she believes this is a fair punishment.
  • After a God's discussion, they decide top punish he Queen of the Underworld and give up her bag containing the waters of life. Enraged but submissive, she gives them up. After, Ishtar is revived and saved from the death state and walks from the Underworld picking up her clothes on the way.
I think all these suggestions could work and make a fine piece of art work but when trying to connect to the main story. I think the one that sounds good could be one of the first 2, more the first one. The first one more due to the fact that it represents the whole story.
