The music of battle
Here's a drawing I did of I guess uhh... My own headcanon of SatW Sweden during the late 1600's and early 1700's. (The great northern war) The speedpaint will be uploaded on youtube either today or tomorrow. Depends on if I'm able to finish the video editing today or nah. I'm actually really happy with how this turned out! I wanted it to have a cold setting to... Well I guess represent the winter battles the Swedes had against the Russians during the war. It's a serious setting. Neither sides were good nor bad. But of course, that is understandable when war naturally is never "good". Many soldiers fought and lost their lives to protect their families and countries on both sides, and I think it's important to remember that we shouldn't glorify the countries involved, but rather remember what happened. The northern wars should never be seen as something to look up to. Just as any other war. It was started with selfish intentions and ended as such too. History should be remembered, not loved. Me myself drew this because I think it's fun to express and put the history I learnt onto paper, and I want to share the stories! And putting the history I've learnt into stories with characters such as SatW Sweden, it makes it easier for me to process, but also makes it more fun to draw and talk about! I almost wanna make a version of this drawing but with Russia, standing on the other side of the battlefield. Comment if you'd like to see that! Love y'all! I hope you liked it! :D
