Get ready with me to build a giant wooden horse
Did I just spend 3 days drawing that eyeliner meme? Yes. Yes, I did.
I'm very late to this year's inktober but nevertheless I'm here))) I decided to combine the official prompt list with the classicstober here, specifically prompt 15 - dagger and prompt 20 - Odysseus. I don't know, if I will draw any other prompts, but this one was fun and I hope you like it :)
The dagger was based on Mycenaean daggers in the national archeological museum in Athens and some Mycenaean dagger reproductions I saw, the scene depicted is Odysseus hunting Athena' boar. I hc this dagger was either a gift from Athena herself or from Autolycus, I haven't decided yet.
#I'm not sure how historically accurate is that background. but it is what it is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯#odysseus#“my man's not letting this war keep him from feeling gorgeous” (quote by @dannymotta)#“felt cute. might burn a city later”#“grwm for a stealth mission with my best buddy - the king of Argos”#tagamemnon#the iliad#epic the musical#epic the musical fanart#greek mythology#inktober#classicstober#inktober 2023#classicstober23#my art tag

oh, Lucia…
close-ups under the cut :)
#I will not let the tyrants at instagram dictate my canvas sizes !!!!!#I have been mulling this concept over since very early on in lucia’s inception but I finally took a stab at executing it#but it was important to me to try and do it justice bc it is a pretty thematic piece for her character#it’s not perfect but at least it is something rather than existing solely in my mind#venus was referenced from a couple different historical paintings and ofc lucia herself#but the background is primarily referenced from the sala degli elementi in the palazzo vecchio#my art#my ocs#artistic nudity#to be safe#sorry to people that followed me for asoiaf stuff but I draw what I want and recently what I want has been oc stuff

Writing real world AUs for SW is the biggest exercise in suspending ur disbelief because of those NAMES.
Obi-Wan? Yeah that's just Ben now regardless of what stage of life he's in. Dooku? Sorry you must mean signore Serenno. Legend has it he's some sort of Italian. Qui-Gon Jinn? Um. Uhhh. He was born to hippie parents in the 70s that's why. Yeah I know that's kinda fucked up. Don't ask about Ben's last name btw
#this is worse if you're writing something historical btw#currently chewing on my old west codywan horror cattle drive fic and. yeah#obi-wan is just ben#cody and rex are just names americans can plausibly have thank god#dooku is a british descendant of italian nobility which is funny bc it's kinda close to christipher lee's actual situation lmao#the way sw characters just be obtaining ethnic backgrounds based on their names as soon as you put them in a regular earth setting .... help

I'm reading a book written by an American author where the main girl is named Ladislav bc her dad wanted to name her something dainty and feminine (I'm rolling on the floor laughing every time her full name is mentioned)
#the entire historical background is sooooo...... it's...... soooooooooooooo..... well. Ladislav being a dainty female name.#but the sibling dynamic in this? oh wow. oh WOW. i am SEATED. i am FED. i had to pause reading bc the tension is about to implode#eernatalk#(it's and i darken by kiersten white)#tqt liveblog

"Can you just imagine Norway and Sweden here, forced to take a picture together during their union in the 1800s??"
Or, something like that, is about what @cat-with-a-tie said just before requesting this exact scenario ✨
#hetalia#historical hetalia#aph norway#aph sweden#hws norway#hws sweden#sunor#none of them are happy to be there and would rather be anywhere else#lol I finally finished it!!#can't believe backgrounds are so time consuming even with a reference pic 😩😩😩#also the backdrop for the photo was just so pretty I didn't even try to replicate it#can't believe we spent 5 hours at the museum??? where did the time go??#and oustside while it was windy and snowing as well! How did we manage??#would do again tho

The (late) early medieval period was definitely one of the very rare times Francis had both short hair and no facial hair at the same time. This was also a rare time where Arthur had the privilege to rock the long hairstyle but unfortunately for Arthur, he also had to watch out for Frantic Francis, the hair-snatcher.
