derive your fantasy settings from somewhere other than medieval europe you cowards

apart from anything else it gives you the chance to read some world history from parts of the world that aren’t europe and that shit is non-stop fun 

some to start you off:

the an lushan rebellion (and literally all chinese imperial court drama makes european political machination look totally pathetic)

the trưng sisters

the battle of tondibi (and literally the entire fall of the songhai empire to the morrocan invaders)

the hajj of mansa musa (the richest man of all history)

kublai khan’s repeated and failed attempts to invade japan

the maurya empire

this isn’t even stretching to like, russia, southern africa, the pacific, or anywhere in the americas yet?

c’mon man don’t you wanna base a fantasy story on patachuti?

#this isn’t even an argument for social justice#i am just fucking BORED

Avatar the last Airbender did this excellently. 

Two of my fantasy novels take inspiration from the Old West and the Dust Bowl/prohibition era America. Another is in a 1940s, 1950s-esque world. I’ve had a lot more researching these than my old standard fantasy stuff.

Also, Full Metal Alchemist.

Laurent and Damen commission for awolfhashowled!!! I was so so, so excited to paint this. Captive Prince art was the first art that I ever posted! (ever really made and liked). If it werent for Captive Prince, then I quite literally would not be the digital artist I am today. So revisiting was so so so amazing, and thank you so much awolfhashowled for giving me the opportunity!

I plan on making more CP art in the future, so please stay tuned!!! I’m DYING to make Nicaise. Lemme know what other CP art you’d like to see! If you would like to see updates and other projects I’m working on, check out my Instagram! I’m constantly on there 😀
