I'm Karkki and I'm autistic and ADHD among other things. I love drawing and thinking about historical fashion and fashion history for fantasy worlds. I drawn my OCs, fanart, 2D art for a game and sometimes I'm trying to draw a graphic novel about gosts and queer people at the end of Ancien Regime.

Valeri has a more blue and red colour palette, though once he doesn't have to hide being a Mantgamia anymore he starts wearing more greens. His imperial uniform is black which red cloak (which is also worn with civilian clothes).
Fiolev wears greens and browns.

The main siblings tend towards green colours since that was their clan's primary colour.
Faerathos has more blue colour scheme influenced by his blue cloak of academia, which all academics get to wear.
Cassia wears usually black and green. Black is another colour of their clan,-

I drew another antagonist (I realised I have drawn very few of them)! This is Ráva, she's the main antagonist's, empress dowager Verginia's, trusted advisor. She's regarded with a lot of suspicion and even fear in the court, because she's rumoured to be an Ahinian witch.

I finally decided to finish the map for Dir'ahin. First is a map with biomes highlighted in different colours and then there's a map for easier reading. Now I can finally give them as a context for all the threads about Vuolhú.

I have quite a large cast so there's several stories happening in the background. Faelci, who is Valeri's rival-turned-friend, is spying the imperial army for Cabalusian separatists. He also has a romance with their leader, Aerich. It's very in the background during the first 1/2

"descendant of bear". Manthaushie was a shamanic sage or a witch, depending on who you ask, who practised the ancient magic of the old Cerfi religion, shapeshifting, and was capable of turning into a bear. At the time there was a now lost Ahinian kingdom ruling the Shiethin Forest and 3/7

Avitius I was the first emperor of the Angusian Empire. He conquered the western parts of Horegtos, Chanercian Lowlands (western parts of Cabalusia) and Virén, rode a dragon to battles and build the capital of the Angusian Empire, Civitas. He is considered to be 1/6

Julius had more than a decade long relationship with Marcus, who is also the widow of his sister (it's a long story). Rigantona was very supportive of their relationship and Marcus basically became Rigantona's second queerplatonic husband.
Also look how short Marcus is in comparison.

I'm thinking about the parents of my MCs again and finished a sketch of them being very soft I started some time ago. The parents Julius (tall man with long-ish black hair) and Rigantona (the lady) had a queerplatonic relationship. Julius was gay, while Rigantona was basically aro. -

For context here's a map of the Angusian Empire and it's provinces.
There have been multiple ancient civilizations in that area. Most notable ones are the Horegtosian Empire which lasted a millenium, starting from over 3000 years ago, and at most covered everything south 1/

The third design is Agrippa again in the ceremonial robes of the High Priestess of Moon. The High Priestess is the head of the religion (Dialach) and also hereditary sovereign of Dir'ahin. It's basically theocratic monarchy.

Since I wrote about some Dir'ahin worldbuilding, I was reminded of these Ahinian clothing designs from last year. First is Agrippa in courtly fashion for women, with royal headdress. Second is her brother in a fairly casual outdoorsy men's wear fitting for royalty.

I recently actually redrew the first piece of this year. It's René, the MC of the spooky historical romance graphic novel I've been planning. The story is set couple of years before the French Revolution and René is a failed artist haunted by the ghost of his father.
