Comic for “The Ruin” a poem written by an unknown author in the 8th or 9th century
How wondrous, this wall stone,
Shattered by fate.
Castles are smashed,
The work of giants, crumbled.
Ruined are the roofs,
Tumbled the towers.
Broken the barred gates.
Frost in the plaster,
Ceilings a-gaping.
Torn away, fallen,
Eaten by age.

I adore the historical illustrations of David Rickman. I have previously admired his miserable sentry painting, without knowing the artist's name, and his work truly enhances The United States Army 1812–15 by James L. Kochan.

Hello, friends! I did a lecture last month at Cartoon Crossroads on doing reference for historically-set stories and adapting that reference into costumes that further your narrative. If you think that sort of thing'd be helpful to you, well, the CXC folks have posted a video of the talk!

No 1615, corsarios neerlandeses preparan un asalto á cidade peruana de Lima. Isabel Flores de Oliva, unha monxa católica, reúne ás mulleres da cidade na igrexa de nosa Señora do Rosario para defendelas e rezar pola seguridade dos veciños. Días despois o capitán da flota neerlandesa falece e o ataque cancélase. Esa coincidencia e relatos de conversas entre ela e outras divinidades cristiás, son os motivos que levaron á Igrexa a convertela en santa, pasando a chamarse Rosa de Lima.

Old Art Round 2!
I think the top two were character design exercises, & I know that I drew the skeleton for a friend. Going through all this older stuff makes me want to draw leg o' mutton sleeves again sometime soon!
