Description
I was commissioned to do my take on that guy. Aglagar God of the deadAs it is associated with a fictional prehistoric Siberian culture I gave it mammoth skull to carry as a crown (for the first thing to come to my mind when I thought of prehistoric Siberia were mammoths xP). Tusks of this enormous skull have sockets carved into them were skulls of certain individuals are kept. these are great sages, warriors, leaders etc. given the highest possible honor of being invited into Aglagar's personal council.
A horde of ravens accompanies him as these birds are often associated with death and the dead while also they are beautiful and full of dignity. Both factors make them great familiars for the king of death.
Anyway, I hope you like the result!

Ravens go after the eyes of dead warriors, and so they were thought to serve the death god by giving him or her the eyes of the dead.

I think the mammoth's skull can be a little bit bigger, but otherwise, it's a weird and cool design.

What a beautiful myth and god. Wish I was Mairamutan myself so I could experience this afterlife journey.
Both the original picture and this depiction look equally weird and alien, as I would expect a god far beyond our mundane world to look. The mammoth skull emphasizes a sort of prehistoric remoteness and vastness.
