Description
Okey-doke, History lesson girls and boys ^^This here is Boudicca, queen of the Iceni Celts, and my favourite historical figure (Genghis Khan is a pretty close second)
anyway, I've wanted to draw her for a long time, but only just got around to it ^^ Hope she looks okay
Also, I've tried my hardest to get the details of her outfit, hair, jewellery etc as close to real as possible.

Nice job... She's my favorite historical character too!

I'll be honest; I can't exactly sum up what makes her so attractive to me, as a historical figure... is it her defiance? The fact that she's a sort of Proto-warrior woman?
I dunno; but either way; she's a total badass! ^^
Incidentally though; her outfit has more in common with European Celts, I.E, the Gauls and the Halstatt Celts; rather than British Celts. I only discovered that AFTER I'd drawn her, to be honest.

The outfit is not really a problem as we're really only making educated guesses as to clothing as so little survives in the archaelogical record,also the British had close links with the Celtic peoples in Gaul and even further afield so styles and fashions possibly spread!
Anyhow it's a cracking drawing!

I really like this! I did a similar piece years ago, except she was naked and covered in tattoos/body paint. I also gave her one of those wavy spearheads.

^^ Yeah, I was going to go down the whole warpaint route, but I thought I'd give her a dress and cloak type thing, I just thought it'd be more interesting that way

Yeah, I did a bit of research, and was rather surprised to find that the Celts were REALLY into jewellery. We live and learn eh?
