Paul Sano

Mr and Mrs Cobet having Afternoon Tea

giving myself a little pat on the back because you can tell my art got more dynamic this past year unlike what i had expected

like you're telling me i don't suck at improv as much anymore and don't need to copy references 1:1 all the time?? aww thanks

dumbass field cook guy

i don't know i feel like i will subconsciously make every male background character look like someone out of a british propaganda caricature

i'm sorry i haven't made or posted any art for at least the past two weeks, you get five big booms

the two henchmen

wip from a style exercise

gotta do this again tbh

Long text

if anyone out there is interested in me making more posts like the one on the yt channels and podcast, please do let me know whether that would be helpful in any way, and i will gladly share whatever i have in both german and english

i am also very much open to resource exchange of any kind on the following topics(not limited to, of course):

-imperial germany - main field (militaria, personally looking for stuff like medical reports regarding injuries and treatment of mental and physical illness, militarism)

-history of art (northern renaissance, mexican muralism, expressionism, new objectivity, propaganda art, totalitarian art)

-cold war era

-interwar period (prohibition, weimar republic)

-ww2 eastern front (german+soviet militaria)

(disclaimer: i have limited resources due to the fact that i have only been researching for about a year solid, but it took long enough to find what i have so i want to make it easier for anyone starting from 0 like i did)

having creativity as a core psychological need really sucks because i haven't had the time to draw anything for a month and a half due to masses of work and i suddenly felt extremely hollow when the thought finally sank in. in that regard, i'm sorry to say i am not sure when my next post will be

anyway leaking some poilus i'm going to include in a big section (mainly comprising of character archetypes, gear and uniform turnarounds, weapon studies of the french army)
