People wonder how Alexander was such a strategic genius...well I'm sure he had a lot of "brainstorming" sessions ;^)

Drawing these guys is so fun and it's like I'm in my own fandom, making food for only myself. Just a one man fandom ='D

‘You must tell me when I say the Persian wrongly. Don’t be afraid to correct me, or I shall never learn.’

I said I had thought he would never love me. I did not beg him to take me with him wherever he was going; I did not think so far. I was like a traveler in the desert,who comes to water.

In an interesting turn of events, now I'm into a certain historic era. A friend approach me with a story based on historic personas, namely Alexander The Great and his Persian lover, Bagoas the eunuch.

I didn't know much about these people and I was instantly intrigued. Alexander had a Persian boy as a lover? Oooooh the drama. The angst. The tragedy. So here we are. I'm in love with Bagoas. The beautiful eunuch with a tragic life. My friend and I really want to tell his story someday, from our perspective since the stories about Alexander is always told from a Greek perspective. It's time Persians do something as well!

When you draw people from two different cultures you cannot not do an outfit swap. So I put Alexander in an Achaemenid Shahanshah outfit, and gave a Bagoas greek look. I can't get over how good Bagoas looks omg 🥹
