"Ishkataw Geshané warrior" by me!
I decided to draw some art of my fictional worlds Geshané race. There are many tribes of Geshané, and this one is from the Ishkataw tribe. Maybe I'll try drawing the other tribes soon lol :3
"Photo taken by Jason Shultz from The New Spiraland Press.
Pictured is Ishkataw reenactor Neketa "Keto" Beshnyté wearing late 1800s traditional Ishkataw Geshané warrior clothing. This photo was taken at the Geshané Island History Museum during the 146th anniversary of the Geshané Island War. On this day, the museum held special events to honor the history of the Geshané fight against the Sollony empire.
many reenactors came to the museum to show off traditional wear of their tribes during the time. Among the many Geshané reenactors on show that day, Beshnyté was one of the more popular, and recieved a great amount of attention. This clothing has an iconic look due to it's association with the Geshané Island War. Many other tribes participated in the fight against the Sollonish, although the Ishkataw has garnered the most amount of fame
Much of this fame comes from the famous Battle of Piker outpost. During which around 600 Ishkataw warriors shot volleys of arrows and bullets at a small Sollonish garrison outpost for 11 hours straight. Movie depictions of this battled made the Ishkataw warrior an iconic image. Although many movies aren't completely accurate in their depictions, the outfits tend to be mostly currect. With the poncho like garment, and orange and yellow triangle patterned, this wear is quite unique and easy to spot in historical depictions of the war.
Seeing Beshnyté's outfit, Shultz was entriqed, and was eager to get a good photo of it. Luckily, Beshnyté was more than happy to move to the museums photoshoot room to get this portrait taken of him. Not only that, but he took the time to described the details of his outfit to Shultz, and each pieces significance-"
