Horse Artillery of the Imperial Guard by Lucien Rousselot

The only time I've ever spent a full day scrounging the internet to collect all 15 books was for Taylor Anderson's Destroyermen series. I cannot recommend these enough. I still have yet to read the first of the spinoff Artillerymen series, but if you need a SciFi/twisted history series to get lost in--this guy's books are it.

The escutcheon I designed and some illustrations of Pikemen, Musketeers, and Culverin Crewmen I retouched to feature the colours and escutcheon I designed for House Danielewski, the ruling family of The Margravate of Mazowsze. These illustrations were made for a low-fantasy setting of my design with technology equivalent to the late medieval and renaissance periods, where formations of heavily armoured and mounted knights fight alongside armies of pikemen and matchlock musketeers, where medieval-style stone castles are gradually being outsourced in favour of both lavish country estates and devoted military fortifications due to the advancements made in artillery technology, and where rising nation-states in the form of Kingdoms and Empires look beyond the boundaries of the known world in search of greater wealth and territory. In context to the lore of my fantasy setting, House Danielewski is the ruling family of The Margraviate of Mazowsze, a kingdom loosely inspired by the aesthetic and culture of The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth of late medieval and early modern European history. Although taking a degree of inspiration from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth of European history, The Margraviate of Mazowsze differs from its historical inspiration in terms of the patterns of its historical development in the world of my fantasy setting.
