This is a design for a large coffee mug sporting the faces of the historical Nile Valley queens Cleopatra VII of Egypt (left) and Amanirenas of Kush (right). The vertical gold bar you see in the middle there is supposed to represent the mug’s handle. The inspiration for this came from a type of pottery the ancient Greeks would make known as “janiform” pottery which would each have the face of a dark-skinned African person on one side and the face of a lighter-skinned (most often Greek) person on the other.

This is a tentative cover design for a short story collection starring my Central African warrior princess Nadjela of Batela. I already have three stories written for her, and I plan to have more in the future!

Today I want to do a throwback to some Neanderthal depictions I've made... Neanderthal Man and Woman
Neanderthal trading with H. sapiens
Neanderthal/H. sapiens couples
Neanderthal/H. sapiens hybrid

Nadjela of Batela, my Central African warrior princess character, is riding through the jungle on her okapi steed while her loyal leopard companion Ishaga prowls beside her. I might have made the okapi a bit too big here (they are roughly horse-sized in real life), but I’ll just say that Nadjela’s people have bred them to a larger size the way horses have grown bigger and sturdier due to breeding since they were first domesticated during the Bronze Age.
