Adjarian Chokha

A chokha, also known as a cherkeska, is a woolen coat with a high neck that is part of the traditional male dress of peoples of the Caucasus.

The Adjarian chokha is worn in Adjara, Guria regions of Georgia and was worn in historical Lazeti (modern day Turkey), though, the outfit is more similar to the clothing worn by Pontic Greeks

Adjaran national men's costume consists of a shirt (perangi) and trousers cut out (dzigva) and sewn from wool fabric or sateen of a dark colour, usually black. Because the trousers are folded, wide on top and narrowed down, they were comfortable and practical to wear in action. The chokha was tied around with a special broad colourful belt sometimes made of leather with laces.

The head covering is a Kabalakhi (bashlik) it is a winter headwear made of thin wool. Of course, a traditional Caucasian outfit would not be complete without a dagger in sheath, a rifle and bandoiler, as seen in the above example housed in the Georgian National Museum, Tbilisi, Georgia.

My another fanart of the most beautiful movie: And Then We Danced / და ჩვენ ვიცეკვეთ (2019) dir. Levan Akin

Help, I accidentally made a sociorealistic propaganda poster!😆 I really just wanted to make a picture to pair with Heracles but then things has gotten out of hand🤣

It felt a lot like drawing the same thing twice (a lot like drawing Merab The Rooster again). Also it always itches my ego to draw something that's already been captured in the movie... But there's actually not a single movie scene showing Merab's whole posture right after his final dance! This camera angle is just my own and nobody can take it away from me!🥰

Picture was inspired with the style of my favorite polish illustrator, Jan Marcin Szancer. Now every anatomical mistake you can blame on the stylization, lol, I'm brilliant💪
