Inspiriert von @skysurfa@pixelfed.art schicke ich das hier hinterher, von der mächtigen #Boudicca, die jetzt gegen billigen Londonkitsch kämpft // Inspired by another submission, I throw in another one of #Boudica the warrior queen, rising up against cheap #London souvenirs

A low-angle shot showcases the bronze statue of Boudica, the warrior queen of the Iceni, standing regally in her chariot. Two powerful horses pull the chariot, their muscles defined and appearing to be in motion. Boudica faces forward, a spear held upright in her right hand, her left arm raised in a commanding gesture. She is adorned in a flowing gown and a crown or headdress, signifying her royal status. The statue is set against a backdrop of a bright blue sky dotted with fluffy white clouds, suggesting a sunny day in London. In the immediate foreground, slightly blurred, is a souvenir stand. A bright red banner at the top of the stand proclaims "Buy Your Tickets Here!". Below the banner, an assortment of London-themed souvenirs are displayed, including baseball caps emblazoned with "LONDON", keychains, and other small trinkets, indicating the statue's location as a popular tourist attraction near Westminster Bridge.

Es ist immer schön, für einen neuen Auftraggeber zu arbeiten. Und auf diesen hier habe ich mich schon lange gefreut: Im Januar ist mein erstes WDR #ZeitZeichen erschienen. Es geht um die keltische Kriegerin #Boudicca , die im 1. Jh. in Britannien einen Aufstand gegen die römischen Herrscher anführte. Die Römer schockierte besonders, dass diese Rebellion von einer Frau angeführt wurde. Vielen Dank an Kai Brodersen und Verena Schulz für interessante Interviews!

Kein bloßer Mythos: Bei den Kelten Großbritanniens hatten die Frauen das Sagen – zumindest wenn es um Landbesitz, das Heiraten und den Wohnort ging. #Kelten #keltisch #Archaeologie #Boudicca #matrilinear

Celtic leader #Boudicca - known in #Welsh as Buddug - speaks Welsh in Sid Meier's #Civilization V. This fierce Iceni tribe warrior led revolts against the Romans in the 1st century, destroying major cities in Roman occupied Britain. More Welsh facts: linktr.ee/walesingames #Cymru #Cymraeg #Wales

Bit of a hiatus, but #Boudicca is finally done.

Related, I need to sort myself out a proper photo booth area, and learn how to use my mobile camera a little better.

Front on photo (from 12 o'clock position) of a bust, painted up as Boudicca. The bust is from the pelvic crease/hips upwards, and is pole mounted on a stone "megalith" in a field of tussock grasses. In her left hand is the start of a cloth, painted as green tartan. In her right is a gladius. Both are cut away.

She's red haired, and pale skin, with freckles. On her arms are a few silver bangles and gold torcs (hiding the join seams), and she has silver/iron bust armour, that is presumably attached with the iron age equivalent of super glue, as there's no other attachments visible. It also protects nothing but "her dignity", so there's very little armour value to it.

Her skin is covered in bright blue patterns and swirls, in a very Hollywood woad colour and set of designs.

Photograph from her 3 o'clock position. Possibly not viable here is the graffito on the megalith in red paint reading "ROMANI ITE DOMVM".

Photograph from the back, showing the patterns painted on her back (still no belts/attachments visible for the breastplates). On the back of the megalith here is visible some lichen patches

Photo of just the bust figurine (not the megalith or the grass), with her looking straight down the camera, looking very... Resolved in a violent course of action.

Wenn ihr den WDR-#Podcast "Furchtlos" zur Piratin Anne Bonny mochtet, gibt es gute Nachrichten. Morgen beginnt die neue Staffel, diesmal geht es um die Keltin #Boudicca. Ebenfalls acht Folgen lang. Die Königin der #Icener führt um 60 n. Chr. in Britannien den legendären "Boudicca-Aufstand" gegen die römische Besatzung an, um Rache für erlittenes Unrecht zu nehmen und wieder frei, unabhängig und selbstbestimmt leben zu können.
Ich freue mich drauf!

Looking for some inspiration, so could you wonderful people #helpMeFind some attractive woad designs for a #Boudicca #miniature that I'm #painting?

For clarity, I'm definitely aiming at the Hollywood "looks cool" not the "historically accurate" end of the spectrum, but it should definitely scream "I'm Boudicca" - or at the very least be shouting "I'm a Celt", not Viking orientated.

Boosts welcome

Boudicca (died 61 CE) was the Celtic Queen of the Iceni tribe who led a revolt against Roman occupation of what is now East Anglia, England. https://www.worldhistory.org/article/97/boudicca-queen-of-the-iceni-scourge-of-rome/ #History #Boudicca #Britain #Celt

Warrior Queen is a six-part 1978 British TV series dealing with Queen Boudicca’s revolt against the Romans in AD 61. An ambitious idea and not without interest but sadly somewhat let down by a minuscule budget.

Lacking in spectacle but well-acted and nicely grungy and quite entertaining.

Tacitus (full name, Publius Gaius Cornelius Tacitus, ca. 56 – ca. 117 CE) was a Roman Senator and an important historian of the Roman Empire. In the following passages Tacitus gives an account of the Iceni Queen Boudicca's revolt against Rome, 60-61 CE.
