reasons why alethkar is just poland in 17th-18th century:
overly enthusiastic about wars and conquest
bizarre expectations based on one's gender
lots of religious zealots
always drinking alcohol
most nobles usually carry a sword with them
sword duels are extremely popular
dukes and princes have really big influence on country's politics
fancy outfits

reasons why alethkar is just poland in 2023:
bizarre expectations based on one's gender
lots of religious zealots
always drinking alcohol
ceased to exist in the past
didn't exist as an independent country for generations
more than half of the population doesn't read any books
clever women discovering invisible magical energy

Stańczyk (Stańczyk during a ball at the court of Queen Bona in the face of the loss of Smolensk) by Jan Matejko
The jester is depicted as the only person at a royal ball who is troubled by the news that the Muscovites have captured Smolensk.

I wonder how many Westerners who use the “pondering jester” image as their avatar picture - you know, this one: 
Tumblr media
...know that it’s a painting of Stańczyk by Jan Matejko... and that Stańczyk has major significance in Polish history and literature.

Stańczyk:
painted in 1862
i generally dislike matejko but stańczyk is so iconic that i've grown to like it
long story short Stańczyk was a court jester for the last kings of the Jagiellonian dynasty in Poland in 16th century. he was also politically savvy and known for his accurate satirical comments on the country's past and present political situation.
in the painting he has just read the letter announcing some significant war losses (the fall of Smolensk); he is somber, but in the background, behind the curtain, the royals having fun at a ball and remain ignorant of the news
it's one of Matejko's early paintings; he was just 24 when he finished it
it's also an autoportrait since Matejko gave Stańczyk his own face
Żydówka z pomarańczami:
painted in 1881
looted during ww2 and recovered after almost 80 years!
portraits of elder people are always so good
there is something very pleasing about the blue-orange colour combination
instead of a live model Gierymski probably used this photo as a reference - the woman really is recognizable!
see more of their works! Matejko, Gierymski

Timelapse of my last illustration.
I don't know if it's useful but it exists.
ALT TEXT: I don't know if it is possible to add a description directly on the video, so I summarize here:
it's a timelapse showing all the steps of the illustration's realization. Starting with a rough sketch, a more precise sketch, the lineart so fine that you can hardly see what's going on, the rough application of the colours that I pipetted directly on the original painting, then the polishing of these flat areas, again you don't see much because it's a meticulous step and the video doesn't zoom. At the end, the illustration reappears and slowly zooms in on Copia's face then fades to black and ends the video. There is no sound, the process video is more on the right side of the frame because on the left side I put a preview of the reference: the Stańczyk painting by Jan Matejko.
