Naval Medicine Chest, Genoese / Venetian, 1565  © Science Museum/Science & Society Picture Library

This example weighs about 38 kg. and has been completely preserved until today. It was probably used at the battle of Lepanto 1575 before it was probably transferred to a merchant ship.

Here you can see the beginning of the Naval Medicine Chests. Since its content was still very extensive, this changes over the centuries and is reduced more and more until only small boxes with little content were left. In the middle of the 19th century, however, the content is expanded again.

I got this ready in the spring but didn’t post here because....lol dunno. My wip post about this drawing is my most liked one. I’m really surprised by its popularity and flattered of course. Usually I get like 8 likes and that’s it, so seeing it doing so well made me happy :3

I didn’t really change much in this, I kinda went like ehhh it’s ready.

SoOoOoOo it's another wip that I started today (I mean, why finish the old ones, that's like totally overrated am I right?!?!). I feel like the face is... meh. I've probably stared at it too much and gotten blind to it and I feel like it doesn't really look like Henry at all. I have a lot of work ahead with this (and couple of nervous breakdowns).

And you bet your ass that Toss a Coin to Your Witcher was playing in my head while drawing this.

It will never leave my head.

Neverrrrrrrr.

(I had to delete the last post because I made it on my phone and the pic was so god damn small it made me crazy D:<)

A wip of Poirot I'm drawing in SketchBook. I started this last week (?, lol can't remember) and hopefully this will be ready some time next week or the week after that (I am a lazy bastard after all so you never know).

I just love this guy.

I drew a self portrait in the spring when Corona was on full force here (the first time *sigh*). I planned to make more, kinda like a slide show of me going more bonkers 😂 But alas, I was too lazy (no surprise here) to make more. Maybe I'll try again now that the second wave is coming *groan*

[arokapy]

Long time no ABC. I got this thing ready in spring and as you can see, no jewelry (well okay, no necklaces). It was too much a pain in the ass to draw so I gave up and decided to leave them out.

Anyhoo, I try to be more active here now. Lets see how that goes.

Another wip (oh what a surprise, said: no one). I've always found Henry VIII and his wifes interesting. Especially Anne and all that happened concerning their marriage, its undoing and her untimely death.

I've planned to draw the other 5 wifes too, Catherine of Aragon is next probably 🤔

[arokapy]

Things are getting done but it's still not ready. Just wanted to share to see how much progress I've made with this 🤔

[arokapy]

Another wip. I seem to have couple of projects I'm working on all the time. And then I start something new before I finish any of them 😅 It's the same situation with all the things I do like for example crocheting. I guess I get bored easily or something 🤔 I should really work on that aspect but oh well.

Tl;dr: I have too many wips.

Joker

I guess this is as ready as this will ever be. Or if it isn’t then I will take it down and pretend this never happened :D

Anyhoo, made in SketchBook.

[arokapy]

I might have gone to the movies on Friday to see Joker and I might have been thinking about it a lot. 

It’s a wip, I’m not sure about the background or the text yet and the hair and clothes etc need work but for today this will do.

[arokapy]

A little something I'm working on. Needless to say I think she was the best thing in Downton Abbey. I'll probably have a nervous breakdown trying to draw her clothes and jewelry :DD Oh looord y do I do these things to myself.

[arokapy]

Welp I guess this is as ready as it will ever be (aka I just don’t want to work this anymore :D).

Jane Eyre, made in SketchBook.

[arokapy]

So I got this done and gave it to my bf. It’s not the greatest and I cringe every time I look at it but it’ll have to do *sad trombone sounds*
