making your own world is hard. anyways here is a dragon priestess. I based this culture somewhat off of how the Minoans were theorized to have been.

So, today I tried to understand how light and shadow work using these sketches as an example. Yes, the line is bad, but that's not the point.
And the last sketch with Kaminoan and her servant, I will just draw in full. It was for this drawing that I sketched trial sketches.

Disney and the Kaminoans have the same business strategy

This is awesome. I was actually looking up some more ideas for my Minoan inspired character and this is great. I was also trying to find out potential ideas for accent she may have, but it seems most comic depictions of greek characters don't really take that into consideration.

Testing out Twitter on my iPad. Also have my Hades OC Anthousa! Based on my Minoan themed characters I’ve been slowly working on. I hope to explain more soon!

Из того, что не все знают: эти милые существа не обременены этическими нормами, а потому без вопросов выбраковывают плохие экземпляры как из подопытных видов, так и из собственного. В частности, цвет глаз может стать причиной уничтожения особи

A volcanic eruption destroyed the Minoan settlement of Akrotiri on the island of Thera (now Santorini) ca 1600 BC. You can order reproductions of some amazing Bronze Age frescoes from my boutique : https://t.co/q2EqhqjBvL

Griffin. One of may amazing mosaics from the royal necropolis of Gonur Tepe, late III - early II millennium BC, BMAC, from the archaeological expedition to Margiana (Turkmenistan) directed by Victor Sarianidi... https://t.co/TTgqzsf3ge. Compare these mosaics with Minoan paintings

The Minoan Civilization existed from roughly 3000 BCE (Before the Common Era) through 1450 BCE. That’s about 5000 years ago!

Saffron Wave takes place in 1625 BCE, a few hundred years before the general time frame for the collapse of the civilization, before the Mycenaean Greeks.

I'm a socialist/progressive, so coincidentally I don't take offense to the "shitlib" moniker, but lets try to keep politics out of this, please.

Yes, the artistic trope & dichotomy of having tanned men and pale women goes back to Minoans, Mycenaeans, and even Egyptian artwork.

A first sketch of a character design Im working on. She’s a minotaur in Minoan fashion. She wouldn’t show up in my webtoon story for a couple major arcs but wanted to draw her cause its fun and just wanted to get the idea out.

Sketching out a character design because a Minotaur in Minoan fashion makes sense.
