I suggested this before as well. Have you considered drawing ottoman women, where you underline not only the ottoman style,but add elements of their original ethnicity, meanings of their names, personality etc. You could draw members of the sultanate of women, as well as other powerful ones like imperial princesses, powerful Hasekis and influential kalfas.

I think that would be interesting.

Hello! :)

I just saw your suggestion in a comment, which Tumblr didn't bother to notify me of. Which makes me grateful that you tried to write to me again, giving me the chance to answer.

As for the illustrations you are talking about: I never thought of drawing something related to the Ottomans, the Sultans, Hasekis or Kalfas because currently, I don't find an interest in that subject. The illustrations with personalities that I create are part of a personal project, which may or may not materialize in an artist book, that's why all the personalities - women and men alike - are part of the history of England in the 15th century , more precisely Wars of the Roses.

Regarding your suggestion, I can't say yes, but I can't say no either. All I know is that currently, I find neither interest nor inspiration for the subject of the Ottomans to make me want to document myself and study the habits, mentality and traits of these personalities.

Thank you and I hope you have a good day! ^.^

Magnificent Century Rewatch: One Picspam per EpisodeEpisode 8: The Bleeding Wound

If we don't add these to the mirror's foil, the mirror will be flawed and we would look flawed in a flawed mirror.

Two years ago I said that the identical glances were proof these two were mother and daughter and I stand by that statement

These silver earrings with a pink stone was first worn by Mahidevran Sultan in the twenty-third episode of the second season of Magnificent Century. Two episodes later, they appeared again on Aybige Hatun. The earrings can then be seen on Gülfem Hatun in the thirty-sixth episode of the same season. They were also worn by Mihrimah Sultan in the fourth episode of the third season as well as by an older Mihrimah in promotional material of the same season.

The earrings become part of the plot in the thirty-seventh episode when they are used to identify Nigar Hatun as the kidnapper. However, Nigar does not wear them in the thirty-sixth episode when the viewer saw her commit the crime.

The earrings appear three times in the fourth season, first on Nurbanu Sultan in the eighth episode, then on Defne Sultan in the twenty-eighth episode and lastly on Hümaşah Sultan in the final episode.
