And now for something completely different…14th century plague Copia. The clothes are based on mid 14th century chausses, cotehardie, and hood. I tried to make his skin look a little ghastly. I did not draw the background skeletons — they are taken directly from Michael Wolgemut’s “The Death of Dance” (i.e. Dance Macabre!) from 1493 (so technically the end of the following century but was supposedly inspired by the Black Death), and the scrolls are based off an image from a 15th century medieval text. And of course I needed dancing rates.
