More from the Rus series.
Still would love to find some really good watercolor brushes for Krita, but what I have sorta work; I did get a new inking brush today that I used here and I quite like.
It’s interesting trying to imagine the fashion of a fantasy people based on pre-Viking Baltics and western Russia. The historical record is pretty limited to nonexistant that I could find before ~900. I like his little drape thing though, the pattern turned out quite nice - I tried to make it feasible to produce by weaving.
Wow, Im honored that my work is inspiring stuff lol. You could definitely do the brown and beige part of the pattern with tablet weaving, but the colored parts at the bottom would need to be brocaded or youd have to change out the warp to different colors. Other styles of weaving would definitely make more sense in this case though
