Akvila conquest / Tharkan eagle guard (cover)

Cover for Akvila conquest

I think I have illustrations for this chapter of my artbook done.

Its about 30+ pictures for various civilizations set in ancient of my fantasy unKnown world inspired by real history and old thesis about origin of humankind.

On cover is fancy Tharkan guard with some eagle symbols of Thark Akvila which is almost legendary leader who founded Tharkvilon empire.

And this chapter is all about his origin, family, conquest against other nations and decline during cataclysmic event and desperate struggle to keep the empire alive.

Very much like fall of Roman empire during barbaric migration or invasion of Sea people which was main inspiration for ending.

Tharkans look were inspired by mix of Scythians, Thracians and Iberians.

You can check out my older illustrations down in my gallery for more info about story and individual warriors.

As always, thank you for your support. Take care and happy creating.
