Guest Posted September 29, 2018 Report Share Posted September 29, 2018 (edited) Isn’t @Victor Rossi working on Boudica? You also need to sign the following waiver else none of your work can be used.

Victor Rossi Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 (edited) @Lion.Kanzen Which Kushite hero should I take first? From what I understand, the three heroes are: Nastasen Amanirenas Arakamani If there's no priority, I'd like to start with Amanirenas Are the ingame models accurate to use as reference? I'm going to do some research anyway, but it's useful to know if I should be basing the portrait on the model.

Expand Nice, I'll look into it Just one last thing. I'm pretty ignorant on the differences in sub-saharan ethnicities, so I'm doing some research on it. I know it is pretty hard to reconstruct such thing as the average Kushite, but it would be useful to know what to avoid in terms of skin tone and facial features. What I've found so far is that the Nuba people closely resemble the ancient Kushites. And here are the references I've gathered for the face: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundiata Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 (edited) @Victor Rossi, if you do Amanirenas, don't be scared to make her a little chubby Strabo also says she was blinded in one eye, which is often interpreted/represented as a badass battle scar across that eye. He also says that she was "manly", although that may refer to her taking charge in the war, rather than a literal physical description. I wonder if she can be made a little chubby in-game (especially around the hips). Since all the heroes were sitting monarchs, you should try to use either a single or a double uraeus (rearing cobra crown), in combination with or without a golden skullcap. refs: Reveal hidden contents Lordgood's masterpiece: Others artist interpretations of Amanirenas: Aminitore, from Civ VI Queen Amanitore and Queen Amanishakheto (Amanirenas' successors) Nastasen and Arakamani: Reveal hidden contents Nastasen: Arakamani: Other Meroitic Kings for inspiration: Tarekeniwal left to right: Apedemak, Natakamani, Amanitore, a prince Amanakareqerem Arnekhamani Meroitic god or king: 25th Dynasty (Napatan): Taharqa: Edited October 18, 2018 by Sundiata 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor Rossi Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 @Sundiata Awesome! I'm incorporating those into my references. As soon as I start sketching I'll be posting it on the portrait thread to make things more organized. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
