On this day (27 April, 1909 CE {5/6 Rabi al-Thani, 1327 AH}), Ottoman Sultan-Caliph Abdülhamid II was overthrown and dethroned by the Young Turks.

He is considered the last true Caliph & Sultan of the Ottomans as his reign was the last during which an Ottoman ruler exercised real power over the government.

Full entry (with footnotes) here. Book here. Patreon here. Art notes and whatnot after the cut - but real quick:

Yes, she already has her own animated princess movie. It’s not in English. It was posted in full by the animation studio here, so I hope it’s okay to embed it:

This version seemingly takes some liberties. Her uncle is in league with some shadow demon, there’s a talking dog, and her horse turns into this fiery magic flying creature…? I don’t know.

edit: lol I apologize for responding to the same ask twice, I didn’t realize that this was posted on my art blog! ;7; <3 

Merhaba arkadas, I'm a huge fan of your human take on Turkey and the Ottomans! If you have time could you draw him with made-up parents and siblings? A hot ottoman turkish family portrait in your style is my dream come true!

Sağol! ;u; I really appreciate your request! I think it’s good to give the guy a chance for once to have the happy, real family he’s always wanted. I have been dealing with a hand injury and a lack of resources for a bit but here is a sketch of what I’d think their human family portrait would kinda look like! Have Grandma and Grandpa Adnanir! 

ps: I love and appreciate every one of my followers who have been so patient and understanding with this blog since the beginning. I can’t emphasize how much I miss this... I hope to be coming back soon! I apologize that I let my trauma take me away from everything and everyone I love and I really think I’m beginning to get back up on my feet after so long. I hope that everyone’s been well and safe and continue to be happy no matter what.
