A cunning sailor from the Nordic Bronze Age [1800 BCE– 500 BCE].
Masters of the Northern Seas, sailors, warriors, merchants connected to rich trade routes from Central Europe to Mediterranean waters. To make it short, here are some key points I believe you need to know about them.
I'm not very familiar with this culture myself, but if you're eager to learn more, I highly recommend checking out the YouTube video series by @Tom_Rowsell the video by @DanDavisWrites on the Nordic Bronze Age.
@Tom_Rowsell @DanDavisWrites Some reference images I used.
@Re_my_06 Awesome work bro 💪
@DanDavisWrites Thanks! When I drew him I was imagining a kind of Nordic Ulysses.
@Re_my_06 Do we know whether they coloured their wool or whether the fashion was fifty shades of brown?
@potamopotos As far as i know there's no significant evidence of organic dye used in Nordic Bronze Age cloth, so I decided to follow common depictions with natural brown shades.
@Re_my_06 Such a dapper man!
@Re_my_06 Looks great. Having overview images of ancient peoples and their items is really informative. It gives a quick idea of how they dressed and what they created. In time, I hope to com something similar
@WhiteWolf_Pack Thanks! You're right. This approach is especially useful for lesser-known cultures, helping to build an understanding of their daily life and general aesthetics. Good luck with your projects
@Re_my_06 Grand dibujo! Son pieles de cabra para el traje del tio?
@Bargas_treanty Gracias. Generalmente usan lana, asumo que oveja. Aunque es probable que usen pieles y cuero de otros animales. El lino les llego mucho mas tarde, casi en la edad de hierro.
@Re_my_06 man i always find it insane that people used to live in Scandinavia WITHOUT PANTS
@Re_my_06 well, it's a drip or drown world, and you could say... he's sailing! i'm sorry I'll see myself out
@Re_my_06 Great Work, very well researched and executed. Thanks for sharing.
@Re_my_06 btw, how long did this take to make?
@Re_my_06 Cool
@Re_my_06 Épico
@Re_my_06 Not a sailor without sails...
@Re_my_06 Sailor Bronze age .....ooooh nooo
@Re_my_06 With brown clothes??
@Re_my_06 Agamemnon on his way to Troy
@Re_my_06 Looks like a character from Vinland Saga. Now I know they did their homework and appreciate that anime all the more.
@Re_my_06 More like a rower without any sail. Eh?
