Hope you enjoyed the throwback!! I am filled with such nostalgia🥹 If you're new to this holiday, welcome! It's always nice seeing others discovering it lol, even just in passing.

(PS. Incase anyone is confused) These are my characters from my ( VERY MUCH WIP) graphic novel: Republic. It's historical fiction around the time of Caesars death and the downfall of the Roman Republic, with homages to Shakespeare's play, as well as a bit of my own plot points, and explorations of possible motives, etc, especially involving certain figures whose fates and lives were not set in stone in factual history. I like to have a good ounce of freedom to write and explore different angles and nuance of historical existence. Now, the character designs may look ahistorical and that's because they are- purposely.☺️ I want memorable, history-adjacent designs, silhouettes, etc that match the characters' individuality and vibe. I also want to have FUN while drawing and writing this. The story is grounded historically, but I take certain liberties because it is an epic tragedy, not non-fiction!😌 Anyways, if you have any questions feel free to send in asks, and if not, have a good rest of the day and I'll see y'all next year!!😈🗡

Ok I don't like posting backstrories on here cuz I can't control who sees it as much as Instagram and it just feels uncomfortable, so if you'd like to know more about my wonderful soothsayer, Aniyah, head on over to my Instagram @beware_the_idiots_of_March And check it out there! I post daily on my Insta but I only post, like, monthly on here so those of y'all that DO care about Republic miss out on stuff.

3 "expression/emotion" prompts from my insta

-Cassius : 'triumph'

-Calpurnia : 'silly'

-Casca : 'rage'

And one sketch of Cinna carrying Casca except its spoilers and I can't say why

Fun fact, Calpurnia is rarely silly unless around Aniyah(the soothsayer), but Aniyah is blind so she can't really see all that goes on😂 She still appreciates it because she can hear Calpurnia's eventual laugh.

Also Casca is incapable of regulating his facial expressions when under heavy emotional duress, so don't be fooled, he is 100% not enjoying the fact he's about to yeet someone with an axe.
