This is evidently from a promotional portfolio (but for who, or what?) titled Les Dieux (Phylactere publisher, Nov 1983) containing eight illustrations from eight artists, two of them quite big (Caza & Druillet).
(cover)
When I originally posted this, I only included the two above. I later realised that all eight were shared at BDT as individual entries corresponding to each artist. So then--
Artist: Didier Eberoni
Benoît Sokal
Denis Sire
Philippe Druillet
Michel Rouge
Pascal Somon

Caza
If the images stop showing up here for some reason, you can also search them at BDT like so.

That doesn't look like the head of a falcon. More like an Ibis. Are you sure this isn't dad-bod Thoth working at the office?

So let's retitle this then as Thoth..?

Wow, I don't think I've ever seen that series before. Pretty cool and mysterious.
I'll just leave the WP link for anyone who happens to read this far:
