Description

This is a quick facial portrait of Malchus, a minor character from my in-progress alternate-history novella Carthage Atlantica. He is the grandson of the Carthaginian Sophet (magistrate) Absalon and has some experience fighting the Numidian tribes to Carthage's west.

In the second act of the book, Absalon invites his grandson over to the new colony on the coast of "Atlantis" (North America) to lead a military campaign against an indigenous empire called the Shaawanaki, and Malchus is more than happy to carry out his grandfather's wishes. But little do they realize what dangers their ambitions might lead them to...

By the way, while I was writing Malchus into the story, I pictured him as looking more than a bit like Donald Glover (or "Childish Gambino"), so that's how I tried to draw him here.
