Description Just a quick sketch to portray Khanum Sevilay's Face in a much more semi-realistic way. Not sure if everything are in proportion or correct, but i think i Like her new face better

Her original character can be found here .

Oh boy...I'm falling in love with the steppe people.


The tattoo on her face is a basically a Clan symbol, a practice used to distinguish many various Turkic tribes that were part of the Cuman/Kypchack Confederacy during the middle ages. Though, there's still another special meaning behind it, for now I'd simply called it the "triple teardrops"for the sake of convenience.

And yes, I was a bit lazy to draw hair on this one...and was surprised that head cover actually makes it more unique (and practical, more-or-less)!

This is indeed an improvement! I am not familiar with the cap. Is that a Byzantine influence?

I'm not entirely sure, but i see it's commonly depicted with the Turkic people or eastern european. Maybe they had some influence from the byzantine (or was it the other way around), given the geographical and political situation of those times.

I suppose it would take a bit of study to find the correct direction!
