Comati familyby ~Merlkir

Digital Art / Drawings / Illustrations / Storybook

400th deviation! Yay! \o/

This is a reconstruction drawing I've done for my MA thesis.

It depicts a family of the comati - Dacian commoners.

I was interested to see Dacians shown carrying their children on their shoulders like this, quite the difference compared to the usual image of a crazy barbarian Dacian with a falx chopping up Romans.
(example of such a depiction is this: [link])

All written histories about the Germanic tribes (even those published recently) have been based upon Roman writings, so, of course, they would usually be depicted killing Romans.

Amazing picture. I love all your stuff.

My favorite by far

It’s good to see you are keeping the good work. You take illustration and history seriously. I salute you

Thanks! I try.

(I enjoyed this one a lot, despite it being basically "school work"

)

I love all the texture you put into this piece with your line work, it really brings it to life. I can almost see a bustling noontime marketplace in the background. Very good job at bringing them to life.

How on earth do you make these drawings of yours look so
natural.._{I mean like it was done in traditional media.}
This looks beyond awesome.
