Artist's commentary

    I enjoy drawing antiquity and women’s fashion inspired by old paintings.

    I don’t really know much about history, but focus more on its artistry. I like to look closely at those old arts I interested, the lines and the choices of elements, try to understand the vibes in paintings. Then draw my understanding with adding the waifu spice. It’s always fun to do so.e!

    Hate to break it to you but ancient Egyptians were not actually as skinny as they look as mummies.

    Ancient Egyptians of higher hierarchy are known to be quite pudgy, really. Obesity is an epidemic then because of their mostly sedentary lifestyle and diet. Of course, this trend gets reversed the lower rung you are on the hierarchy, but even the lowest on the hierarchy (slaves and workforce) are still fed quite well, creating muscular, lean builds.

    It's recorded on some hieroglyphs that there's some people depicted with protruding bellies easily found in multiple drawings and even in wall reliefs.
