New sticker of my John Paul Jones illustration. One little history detail I love: British ensigns at sea in the 1770s looked very different from today’s Union Jack flag. Tiny details like this make illustrating history such fun!⚓️

Timeless Market: A Monochrome Odyssey
#MonochromeArt #PencilSketch #HistoricalIllustration #AIArt

A sepia-toned illustration depicts a bustling medieval marketplace set in a historic town. The scene is filled with numerous people wearing long robes, interacting around various market stalls. The stalls are laden with goods such as textiles and pottery. Architectural elements, including ornate buildings with arched windows and domed roofs, frame the scene. In the background, a stone bridge spans a river, leading to a fortified tower, suggesting a castle beyond. The atmosphere is lively, capturing the essence of trade and daily life in a bygone era. The artwork is detailed, emphasizing the textures and patterns of the clothing and buildings.

A little drawing based on the hoplites of IronLilly
I’m still getting used to drawing armor and metal in general but I liked how it came together
