I knew russian masks where the closest to pyro's design but I didn't know about the black version... yeup, this is it. Obviously Pyro's mask takes creative liberties but this is pretty much it!

French Foreign Legion, Algeria, 1950s/1960s

Légionnaire, Compagnie d'lnstruction, 1er Régiment Étranger; Mascara, Algeria

From photographs of Norwegian Legionnaire ‘Jean Eric Johanssen’, in uniform and equipment typical of the early part of the Algerian War. During basic training, sketchily armed men of this unit were helicoptered into the hills of the nearby Djebel-el-Biar to intercept a reported ALN force; the subsequent action cost four French dead and six wounded. The 16-year-old 'Johanssen’ was awarded the Croix de Valeur, and was thus one of the few trainees to report to his regiment already wearing a gallantry decoration (he would earn others while serving with the 2 REP). He was subsequently issued a MAT.49 submachine-gun, as illustrated (note security chain used on anti-guerrilla operations). The now-plentiful supply of MAT.49s had led to the tactical division of the Legion infantry section/squad into voltigeurs with SMGs forming the assault team - the proven men; and rifle-armed pourvoyeurs - the less experienced men who carried spare ammunition for the LMG fire team. He wears an M1946 képi with a khaki drill cover; M1947 fatigues, with a scarf in sub-unit recognition color; French M1951 copies of US web leggings; and M1917 boots. The M1946 French brown leather equipment set now in widespread use comprised belt, suspenders, and various connectors and pouches (here, two for MAT.49 magazines) but no canteen carrier - the French M1950 is looped on in its canvas carrier. The pack is the 'all-arms musette M1950’.

Légionnaire, 1ere Compagnie Saharienne Portée de la Légion; Laghouat area, southern Algeria 

The field dress of the CSPLs, like their complex ceremonial uniforms, reflected both Legion and Compagnie Méhariste traditions. While M1947 fatigues and bush hat were standard issue in the 1950s - as were camouflaged fatigues and green beret in the early 1960s - this Saharan dress was also widely photographed. Motorcycle goggles were worn on the kepi, which was covered in white or sand-khaki. The traditional desert chèche scarf (in pale sand-khaki, white usually being the mark of an officer) could be worn round the neck or, in sandstorms, rolled round the head as a turban. The sand-khaki smock - gandourah - was essentially unchanged since issued to Legion cavalry of the 1920s. The very loose seroual trousers were made in both sand-khaki drill, and in winter-weight khaki wool for wear with the M1946 battledress blouse (the latter type being essentially the M1923/35 culotte des spahis); taped ankle bands secured-them above the nail sandals. The djellaba was also general issue. Photos show varied personal equipment worn in the field: M1950 type TAP webbing, this M1946 leather set, or even the traditional Saharan red/brown leather equipment with crossed pouch bandoliers. The rifle is the 7.5mm MAS.49/56, a self-loading weapon with a detachable ten-round magazine, which reached infantry units from 1957.

Sergent, 1ère Compagnie Portée, 2e Régiment Étranger d'lnfanterie; Djebel Beni-Smir, Algeria

A figure typifying the legionnaire, on a typical operation, of the second half of the war. Attacking an ALN unit infiltrating the Moroccan frontier south of Ain-Sefra, six 'sticks’ from the 1st Motorized Company, 2e REI were helicoptered onto Hill 1641 at 8.30 am on December 2, 1960. Strong enemy forces held the LZ, however, driving off the helicopters with heavy damage after only six men, led by Sgt. Sanchez-lglesias, had leapt out of the first. They held out alone and surrounded for nearly 12 hours; it took three companies with air support all day to fight their way up the hill. The ALN lost 63 dead and 16 prisoners from some 130 men, plus 60 weapons, 100 grenades, and some 10,000 rounds captured; the Legion, two dead and 11 wounded.

The bush hat appeared in vert armée at the end of the 1950s, fading rapidly in use; sand and green types continued to be worn side by side. From 1960 the green M1947 fatigues were replaced in all Legion combat units by camouflaged fatigues of similar cut except for external jacket skirt pockets - tenue camouflée toutes armes - in the same pattern as used for the paratroopers’ tenues de saut. Note the buttoned-on rank tab of dark blue cloth with two gold stripes. Coloured recognition scarves were often worn at neck or shoulder on operations. The boots are French M1952 'rangers’ with double-buckle ankle flaps, originally issued brown but by 1960 blackened. First line infantry units had increasingly received the M1950 TAP webbing set, here with a Rapco quick-release belt buckle and paired five-magazine pouches for the MAT.49. Stowed visibly on his M1951 all-arms 'bergram’ rucksack are the djeilaba - a loose, hooded native robe of coarse wool, popular as an alternative to the issue greatcoat among Legion motorised units; and a camouflaged tent-quarter, sand-khaki on one side, and in a rather bright pattern of sand, red-brown and green on the other.

I remember when we used to use punk for certain aesthetics and world builing rules. Now we use core and with less wolrd building, just aesthetic. Funny how time changes

GOOD SIR! HE DID NOT ASK FOR CONSENT!

I felt very violated by his uncalled for horniness on the battlefield >:C HARRUMPH!

I wish i was better at drawing other styles... so i could ship at my hearts content... publicly.

I'll be fine.

So I'll probablu do more of these in my own time since I want to do a particular artistic representation of "Star women" from one of east to central african mythology.DEscribed as beautiful women who would drop from the skies. I found on account from the Susu, or soso, or soussou... idk how they're written too many options in my opinion XD!but they were also described as women who also loved cooking and you could capture them by giving them white eggplant and force them to marry you and you'll become a king 💀

Not the most progressive. But in my hunt of people and strange critters in the vast abundance of belief systems in the african continent, this has to be one of my favourites! I did also find another version that was a daughter of the star, but I forgot to check if that story was from the same area or a different one x.x

So a I've been thinkering I don't think I quite all the facial bits that characterize the people from the region I might need to study it, but this is just a sketch I can make mistakes ;U;I do meniton this becuaseI have characters inspired by different areas of the world! and mostly mythological >u<! So I do want to better represent where each creature is comming from :D
