Illustration for the Spanish edition of the rpg " Through Sunken Lands". This is based in historical events, the Roman invasion of Gallaecia (now Northern Portugal and Galicia). From the ancient historian Appian: "He (the roman general Decimus Junius Brutus) then crossed the river Durius, carrying war far and wide and taking hostages from those who surrendered, until he came to the river Lethe, being the first of the Romans to think of crossing that stream. Passing over this he advanced to another river called the Nimis, where he attacked the Bracari because they had plundered his provision train. They were a very warlike people, the women bearing arms with the men, who fought never turning, never showing their backs, or uttering a cry. Of the women who were captured some killed themselves, others slew their children with their own hands, considering death preferable to captivity." #rpg #illustrations #artistsoninstagram #romanempire #romanlegion #hispanic #artoftheday #blackandwhite https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmw0IpYqT7H/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Illustration inspired by the legend of Isis resurrecting the dead Osiris (probably their names were Iset and Auser in the original egyptian language). I took some references from different eras of dynastic egyptian art, north-eastern modern african people and actual early egyptian tombs.

Capitão português, 1580s These captains were the leaders of the Portuguese invasion of Ndongo (Angola). Only a small number of their soldiers were actually Europeans or Crioule. The vast majority were Africans (Ambundu or Imbangala) under their own captains/ Ilamba. These African soldiers were known as "Guerra Preta", "Black War". #portugal #artoftheday #africanhistory #artistsoninstagram #illustrationoftheday #illustration #digitalillustration #angola https://www.instagram.com/p/CgkmtIXqAEz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Kilamba It's a captain of a military unit. 125 to 500 men. He gave orders by sounding an iron bell. Iron bells are sacred in many african cultures. In Angola these bells had a great religious importance among the ultra militarised Jaga/Imbangala. #angola🇦🇴 #africanhistory #artistsoninstagram #artoftheday #digitalink #illustration #historicalillustration https://www.instagram.com/p/CgUqDAyK6bd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Crioulo de São Tomé These were people of mixed Portuguese and African ancestry born in the islands of São Tomé and Principe, not far from Kongo and Ndongo in Angola. They were employed as soldiers by the Portuguese in the invasion of Angola in 1570s. But even before the invasion they settled with other Portuguese along the western African coast participating in the slave trade and slave hunt. https://www.instagram.com/p/CgACTaiqu_U/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Gunze, Angola c. 1580s In the 16th century in Ndongo (Angola), the Jesuits mentioned a group of special warriors, the Gunze adventurers, who fought on the front lines. They used to fire just two or three arrows before running into hand to hand combat. #africanhistory #angola #artistsoninstagram #historicalillustration #conceptart #archer #artoftheday #instaart #artistsoninstagram @medibangofficial https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfrk4Q3KSSN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Zaporizhian Cossack For Ages of Conflict The Zaporizhian Sich was a semi-autonomous political entity of Cossacks that existed between the 15th to 18th centuries. It was formed by mixed ethnic serfs fleeing feudal lords of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. Cossack probably comes from the turkic word Cosac, "Free man". In Frank Herbert's Dune, the "Fremen" live in desert communities called "Sietch". #ukraine #cossack #zaporizhia #illustrations #artistsoninstagram #artoftheday https://www.instagram.com/p/CbQW7nCqweJ/?utm_medium=tumblr
