“In the early days of the Eurasian steppe, knowing how to use a bow and ride a horse could be the difference between survival or death. Wolves, enemy tribes, and other dangers lurked everywhere. “You’re pretty much out on the steppe by yourself [so] the men had to learn how to do the women’s jobs and the women had to learn how to do the men’s job,” says May. While men traditionally protected the camp and women cared for the tribe’s herds, everyone had to be ready to pick up the slack, especially if an enemy tribe decided to raid your own. “If you’re living in a group of 20 people and another 20 people ride over the hill and they want what you have, whether that be water or sheep or you name it, anything, it would be silly to have ten of [your] people just sitting on the ground,” says Greenland.
(...)
Before the late 12th century, tribes scattered across the steppe often fought each other, so every warrior mattered. If an enemy tribe decided to raid your camp, everyone, men and women, took up their bows and battle axes to defend their home.”

Painting I made around 4.5 years ago that went through quiet a bit of revisions, and is currwently still one of my more popular paintings. The character is inspired by Central Asian mythology and lore, something I took a lot of inspiration from in the past.
Hope you like it!
Best,

The Mongols were feared for their horsemanship while the Samurai were master swordsmen. Who would be the final victors?

I will never not love seeing hard as fuck lines pop up in unexpected places, but I have to also appreciate the ones that are completely expected, like in this alt-history video where the Mongols Just Kept Going and sacked Rome
Just look at what they said before executing the Pope.

Character design I mad a while back, a Scythian (proto-Slavic) Horselord.
It was quiet a lot of fun to decide which details to keep, emphasise or simply remove. Need to push myself more in that department.
Hope you like it!
