Description
Did you know the Slav tribes and a coalition of Viking mercenaries formed the beginnings of Ukraine and Russia?

This is a character I painted for my worldbuilding, a Slavic Severian warrior. I took inspiration from cossack attire, as well as traditional Slavic regalia.

The Severians are a warlike people, with strong but turbulent ties to family and honour. They became fiercely loyal to the Viking Rus after the latter offered them a chance to grow stronger. Over time the two cultures intermingled, becoming all but indistinguishable.

As always, Love to know your thoughts!

All the best,

JCH
