Cool design, Chen! Looking forward to the results.

Since I already shared this WIP snippet on Twitter and Instagram… here it is.

This is turning out surprisingly better than I hoped it would 🤷‍♀️ but it’s also taking longer… do commissions resume after I am done with this. I apologize to the people waiting for me here… 😅

"Women could be found working on construction sites, if only occasionally, including in specialized roles such as carpenters and masons. The research is found in the article, “Appropriate to Her Sex?” Women’s Participation on the Construction Site in Medieval and Early Modern Europe,” by Shelley E. Roff.

She surveyed a wide variety of records from throughout Western Europe, including tax records, inventories of wages paid on construction sites, and municipal accounts, and discovered numerous instances of women working alongside men on construction sites as far back at the 13th century. Most of these women were employed as day laborers, carrying out tasks such as moving water and building supplies around the sites, digging ditches and serving as assistants to bricklayers and stonemasons. For example, in the Spanish city of Seville during the 14th century, women were hired to dig trenches for the foundation of a new city wall, while at the nearby city of Toledo, one or two women were hired each day for the construction of the city’s cathedral, where they gathered lime and worked on the roof. Meanwhile in the French city of Toulouse, almost half the laborers working on the Perigord college site were women. Ross also finds several examples from England and Germany.

Roff notes that previous historians have seen many examples of women working on construction sites in their research, but they had believed that these were just abnormal exceptions caused by economic crises, or because the male population had been killed off through war or disease. But her new study suggests that women construction workers were more than just odd occurences. She explains that “the expansion of urban centers starting in the thirteenth century set off a trend of increasing female employment for day laborers and in the crafts, which only began to contract on occasion for women working in the crafts in the sixteenth century with ensuing economic crises.”

She also notes that in almost all accounts surveyed, the women were paid at a lower rate than the men, which would make the “a cost-effective solution” for site supervisors looking for ways to reduce expenses. The women who took these jobs would have come from society’s poor – those women who could not maintain their households and families just from their husbands’ (if they had one) income.

Roff also finds records showing women taking part in specialized building trades. In London in 1383, Katherine Lightfoot is recorded as the supplier of 2,000 painted tiles for bath in the King’s palace. Meanwhile, tax records from Paris during the years 1296 and 1313 reveal the existence of two female masons, a tiler and a plasterer. These women were not poorer individuals, rather they were the wives of male craftsman, and in some cases their widows. The 15th-century French writer Christine de Pizan noted in her book The Treasury of the City of Ladies that craftswomen, “should learn all the shop details so that she can properly supervise the workers when her husband is away or not paying attention.”

Women workers could be found on the medieval construction site, Medievalists.net

All this hand-holding lately AND now she gets to go to Maria's place??? Maybe today isn't so bad after all.

Stunning, Chen! Thanks for posting!

This is for an art trade in a small Discord artist community I joined a while back. I decided to make a DTIY of a picture my art partner drew. There is not that much to tell about the piece. The character's name is Talya and her creator is Yumiyu. And I tried to recreate the scene she drew in my style. Background is once more done with the help of one of James Julier's Art Tutorials. The picture was done in Procreate and SAI. Background - Procreate Elf and tupils - SAI 2 (with some finishing touches in Procreate). Since she doesn't seem to have any socials I don't just want to share her original picture here. But the original piece can be found in the gallery here: Link

Terrific designs!

I don’t share WIPs often because they are a Patreon thing mostly. But here I like the outlines a lot already. There are a few minor adjustments that I need to make before coloring, but other than that… I’m quite happy with this so far.

It’s a redraw of a picture from 2015. My Grey Warden Meriana Cousland and Bann Teagan. The moment they realize that time and circumstances are against them after the battle of Redcliffe.

(I won’t return to the DA fandom, but I felt nostalgic.)

Very dramatic, Archer!

While prep work continues for the upcoming faire season, I came across a few location test shots of Rae I before a long weekend of festivities last year.

That golden hour never gets old.

I can't wait to swing steel again soon. ^^

Wishing you all a great weekend.

Ah! I remember these characters well! Here's Pally's original story with links to the other two parts written by me and my friend Chris. I also gave them cameos in my story of my drider OC, Sir Elindra. I made characters based on both of them in Age of Wonders IV, and I think I had versions of Sayir in both Neverwinter Nights I&II. In the D&D campaigns I've been doing at the library, Zyr's house ratted out one of their rivals to the PCs at one point, and I've thought about using them for other stories or campaigns as well.

@heroineimages

Just thought I’d let you know that Saiyr and Zyr Nerazon are going to be in their first campaign, an Out of the Abyss run by my friend @galahadiant. Saiyr, for those of you unfamiliar is an old drow Paladin of Torm of mine who lived most of their first 80 years on the surface, and Zyr is their older sister who survived the purge of their family to become Matron Mother

HI and I wrote a few bits of story about them a few years ago. It didn’t get very far, but Saiyr is getting a revival as an Oath of Vengeance Paladin killing demons and being a pain to her dark elf cousins in the Underdark. This is the vibe I’m going to be going for.
