Ife brass heads (12th - 15th century CE),
from Wunmonije compound, Ife Museum
According to oral traditions, the Yoruba city-state of Ife was known as the place gods descended to create the world.
These brass heads may have been potraits of members of the Oni (king/kingship) of Ife's courts, or of the Oni themselves.
Characteristic to these works of art are their discernible scarification marks; the long vertical lines particularly are speculated to have been distinctions between branches of the royal family

The Ring of Brass.
I have finished the rewatching of the series and its still top tier storytelling. One of my favourite short (ish) stories.

I really had fun doing the Ring of Brass in this ukiyo-e(ish) style. They look cool all gathered together so here’s the full set (plus a Beau for the M9 live show). Individual images are on my blog.
Added Mx Rue from A Court of Fey and Flowers!

It was really lucky for Envy that Ed took a while to figure out how to portal out of Gluttony. Imagine a giant green monster suddenly exploding out of the street into Central City in broad daylight.
