Another one from my 7 Ancients project. These are the Asturi.

As they say:

“Can you hear it? We are the Asturi and if you call us the Sea Folk, you’ll be right in your guess for we come with the waves and the wind. We are the sailors and we are the explorers. From North and South, West and East we shall venture with our ships and you’ll hear our coming. So I ask you again, can you hear it? It’s the sound of the sea and our lives.”

in old asturian:

“Puet vout olir? Nóm sombre od Asturi i si vout nod yabar ed Peudle o Maad, vout esbadrá derto ent vout indecta, pués nóm vendimos cás lad ordas i mend. Nóm sombre od muraniros i nóm sombre od edolares. Da Nurt i Sub, Otere i Esb nóm ebrenos nons onturar cás nos abidos i vout erá olir nos tegalda. Emontes, Y progeto du uebo, puet vout olir? Esst í u monico da maad i nos lidas."

That's for my personal project called "7 Ancients". These are the norse people of the world. As they say:

“You call us Norse, but Askanni is the name of our people. We have the eternal winter on our backs and we are born true warriors molded by the Goddesses and the Lord of Battles. We fear no death for we have a place of honor in the Hall of the Great Mother. Therefore I say: your lands should be ours.”

In their language: “Du drinn og Norr, mar Askanni ir da nömt eg par prøk. Wi karr da etedun iver an par rigge dak Wi akr sann warkeid folgd ak da Graudein dak Wark Herd gruden. Wi nig tart frugd pök Wi karr eik höderplas im Haut eg da Brag Mude. Dapök draun ik: Dinne mard solt pök par.”

I've realized that I didn't post these studies here yet. So, here they are!

Illustration done for my fantasy project called 7 Ancients

Just joining the Hype, did this sketch.

For a children book.

The knight has this look because the dragon is proposing a scam: The knight should pretend he kills the dragon so he could earn the reward and then they could divide it between them.

Meet Forwën Lainas (from the old language: Foren Ween which means the Winter Beauty), the Warrior Maiden; Princess of Lenes and the Outcast Peregrin.

Started as a simple sketch, but decided to push it a little bit further.
