listen. listen, there's a kind of intimacy in having a dedicated rivalry, okay. who else is going to know you like this!!! also it's funny
Ascanio Maria Sforza: la parabola politica di un cardinale-principe del Rinascimento, Marco Pellegrini
Julius II: The Warrior Pope, Christine Shaw
and on della rovere’s soldier comment:
Popes, Cardinals and War: The Military Church in Renaissance and Early Modern Europe, D.S. Chambers
and finally! regarding the delightful Mess of political-family relationships, including the marriage comment (altho the montefeltro family that giovanni married into did have sforza family ties, since giovanna's mother was battista sforza, but this is about the more immediate alliance based relationship and della rovere's hand in the rejection of a milanese match for his brother. and. this is not even remotely a serious comic, but now I am once again thinking about insular all these families are. the fucking medicis are here too, if you go half a step to the left on della rovere's family tree)
Julius II: The Warrior Pope, Christine Shaw
Giulio II, Il papa del Rinascimento, Giulio Busi (Bianca Maria Visconti is Ascanio's mom. btw)
panel inserts of the cards they're playing with are all from the Visconti-Sforza tarot deck! (I used public domain scans/photos for the comic itself)

Want a drawing of your OC for free?
Hi there! I started this blog because I loooove drawing ppls ocs, but it can be kind of hard to find them at will because many of us store them deep inside our minds 😔😔
So help me out! Use the ask or post submission box to submit a pic of/link to your OC. The more info + images about personality, world, and backstory, the more inspired I tend to get, so go wild! Links to more organized posts/pages are preferred, but I know how it goes so an infodump via ask also works haha
Submitting a req doesn't guarantee I'll draw it, and also the level of completion is completely random depending on how much I end up liking the piece I start 🫣 There's no commission, compensation, or trade factor. You don't have to do anything but submit your oc, kick back, and enjoy my fanart of them
Anyway, here's a bit of my work so you know what you're in for. Thanks for coming by!
