happy pride! remember that being a transgender is everything but fiction. there are so many real historical figures from every century about whose transgenderism we aren't even aware of

on this picture i drew Alexandr Andreevich Alexandrov - cavalry officer of the russian imperial army that participated in napoleonic wars. people persistently keep on misgendering mispronounsing deadnaming and calling him a crossdresser although alexandrov clearly stated that he didn't want to be called by his deadname and being treated like anything but a man. that's an interesting historical figure and i wanted to draw attention to his person. i can't tell everything about him in only one post so i recomend you to read about alexandrov by yourself

also be proud of yourself and remember that you're valid! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

2026 - 2025 - 2024 - 2023

in spite of it all, happy 2026 pride.

you can download current and past hi-res versions of these over at my ko-fi (ok to print for personal use): https://ko-fi.com/mxmorgan/shop/freedownloads

you can also snag shirts here which go to various orgs: https://mxmorgan.threadless.com/collections/pride

these get reposted a whole lot from here to reddit to twitter to tiktok and on and on, and i don't personally care whether or not i'm credited. i made these for everyone to use, enjoy, and find meaning in them. i appreciate folks who do credit me, but if able, please at least link to the threadless shop in the previous post - folks can get an official shirt where 90% of earnings go to trans led orgs focused on mental health (which is an important matter in general, but very personal to me) and not from a scam bot site selling AI-churned maga garbage where you probably won't get one anyway. i also suggest downloading the files from my ko-fi - they are free/PWYW and you can use them to make your own shirt, patch, embroidery project, whatever. tips are always nice, cuz i do like a pizza now and then, but never required for download.

final thought - breaking the pride tradition and more than likely won't make a new piece. the top one from TDOV is all i'm making this year. i have my focus on other projects currently and i don't want to force a poster design. these came from a specific head space and my current head space is Very Tired lmao so i wanna work on other things. 👍

Remember when Helen of troy in Xena was played by a black actress and no-one complained because "it was fantasy"?

Remember when almost every Egyptian character in Gods of Egypt got whitewashed and...

Andromeda from Clash of the Titans was whitehashed as well

BUT NOBODY COMPLAINS ABOUT THOSE (at least from the people being mad about Lupita). THEY ARE COMPLAINING ONLY FOR THE ODYSSEY. NOW "IT'S NOT FANTASY" ALL OF THE SUDDEN.

Like are they purposefully excluding facts or are they geniunly that stupid?

Tomorrow is May Day!

Otto's older brothers; Ludwig plays the Hobbyhorse and Peter plays the Fool in this concept art for Moth volume 5. The May Day festival used to be very important in England and Germany, many of the traditions such as the dance of the Fool and the Hobbyhorse were carried on by young men in towns and villages for thousands of years only for the traditions to end during WWi, due to the amount of young men that were killed. In some German and English towns the dance survived or has been renewed. Similar characters to the Fool and Hobbyhorse appear in French, Polish and Scandinavian cultures, but this illustration is mostly based on the Anglo-Saxon tradition. The Odinkirks are canonically of Saxon decent and are implied to have reintroduced the dance to their village, which is situated in Pomerania. May Day was celebrated all across Europe but in Germany and England in some places the horse dance had either faded or evolved; even before WWi the Christian church suppressed the dance as it originated from an ancient horse-cult; as a result it survives in the more Saxon regions today and many English and German people haven't heard of the dance of the Fool and the Horse.

The Greek Gods in the Late Middle Ages- early Renaissance, Eastern Europe-Middle East AU: Aris/Aristedes, Basileus and Autokrator of the Eastern Roman Empire, courting with Afroditi, Queen Regent of Cyprus, Syria, Phoenicia, Palestine, and Mesopotamia.

The clothing that Ares wore reflected the typical late 14th-15th cent. Byzantine Greek clothing style-when Sassanid Persian patterns/ motifs were adopted into the tunic (circular patterns of “tree of life”/ intertwined pomegranate flowers & fruits motifs, mythical simurghs and winged horses, chariot riding & hunting scenes); while Aphrodite’s dress and her giornea much more reflected upon Cyprus’s history- the adoption of medieval Frankish (and later Venetian) clothing after the Crusades, with tidbits of influence from the neighboring Mamluk Egypt and the Levant (the tantour headgear, the kohl makeup & henna hands); while still remaining maximalist Byzantine tastes. All decked in golden threads, sewn in with metallic sequins and carved gemstone beads, silk of all types (from lightweight, flowing liquid-like, ethereal to heavily brocaded shimmering damasks).

According to lugatism.com -one of my resources that specialized in the historical fashion of the Middle East from the time of Pre-Islamic Arabia to the time of the caliphs, the tall headdress tartur/tantour (similar to the Western medieval hennin) began to adorn the heads of many Egyptian, many Greek and Middle Eastern women during the second half of the 15th century for a short time, but only remained to be a traditional headdress to the region of Lebanon, Syria and Palestine 18th-19th century onwards- often bounded together with silken ribbons, and studded with pearls and gemstones. I also did try to stylize the Italian ferronnière jewelry that the goddess worn in her forehead in a much more Middle Eastern fashion; considering how much she is connected to that region, how much the pearl- a symbol of Aphrodite- had always been heavily traded in the Middle East, and how much pearl jewelry have always been held with high importance in many cultures across Europe and Asia.

Book One of my webcomic The Carpet Merchant of Konstantiniyya just finished its rerun! Read the entire thing now on the fancy new site! (<-link)

The Carpet Merchant of Konstantiniyya is an Eisner-nominated completed webcomic set in 17th century Turkiye and 18th century England. Zeynel, a former scholar turned carpet merchant, goes away on a business trip and is murdered by a suspicious traveller. He awakens to discover he has transformed into a vampire, just like his killer. Desperate to cling onto what remains of his humanity, Zeynel returns home to his wife Ayşe. It is their shared love and faith that gives Zeynel the strength to endure and to one day save the soul of the one who killed him.

Book One is a romantic story about how Zeynel and Ayşe met as adolescents, and the 25 years of marriage they lived through together - before the heartache that happens in Book Two.
