I wish I had time and energy to draw comics. I have at least three different epic storylines to finish in my lifetime, spinoffs not included. Here are the three heroes of my "600 AD" project, an Early Middle Ages picaresque. Basically I shoehorn some character concepts that I came up with as a teenager into what we currently know about that time period, which isn't much, but it's a fun thought experiment! #characterdesign #historicalfiction #historicalfantasy #HistoricalFashion #earlymiddleages #lateantiquity #600ad #avars #goths #gepids #inkdrawing

Hrodiko the Gepid shieldmaiden: A black and white ink drawing of a slightly cartoony young woman dressed in Early Middle Ages East Germanic warrior gear, including a Spangenhelm, mail over a Klappenrock, trouser legs tied with leather straps, and leather shoes. She carries a round shield on her back and holds a spear. She is equipped with a knife and a sword hanging from two belts. Her eyes are shadowed by the helmet and her expression is grim.Aybars the Avar tarkhan: A black and white ink drawing of a broadly smiling man with a black beard and long black braids. He is dressed in a caftan style coat with wide lapels, tied with an ornate belt around his hips, and pulled off his right arm and shoulder. He is flexing his biceps. On his feet, he has leather boots with slightly upturned tips. His belt is a clear sign of his Avar identity: it has several straps decorated with metal plaques.Jarir the Romano-Arabized Visigoth: A black and white ink drawing of a young man who comes running, holding a ceramic flask in one hand and a bunch of herbs in another. He has fair hair that sticks out under a hood. He is beardless, freckled and his expression is slightly anxious. He is dressed in late East Roman style: mantle fastened with a fibula on his right shoulder, a wide tunic with decorative patterns, trousers and soft, tall black riding boots. A long knife and a purse hang from his belt.All three characters in one image. For descriptions, see the other images.
