Today's Character Based On of the day is Sun Wukong, from RWBY.
He is based on the character of same name, also know as Monkey King, from the 16th-century Chinese novel Journey to the West.
Remembered the incredibly atmospheric Dante's Inferno for the C64 today (the 2nd adaptation of the 14th-century classic - there was also a TRS-80 text adventure), a game I could hardly understand at the time but one I still loved roaming just for the eerie environments & mood

The corset was first associated with the aristocracy but was adopted by bourgeois women by the 18th century. Women of lower classes often made their own corsets from less-expensive cloth, using reeds for support and reinforcement.
Beginning in the mid-1820s, women's fashion returned to the full skirts of the prior century. In a repudiation of the Empire silhouette, the waist became the central focus of female dress.

Time for some more historically inspired fantasy!
This time I present you some Orcs, in case you were wondering who that fancy helmet I posted before belongs to.
The characters are inspired mainly by 20th century Native American art and 15th century Iranian armour.
@FrenchiePunk I think my Aztec restoration #9 is one of the most elegant of mine! A scene from the 16th century Aztec Codex Laud - the Goddess Mayahuel upon a snake & turtle in a childbirth pose, with a maguey plant in full bloom behind her.
