Historical Impressions Gallery - this is cool, it has those from the German Luftwaffe too.
A great resource for any digital artist, illustrator, and painter. I actually have all the issues. I learned a lot from the tutorials and workshops, because it includes a CD that has all the actual files, brushes, and images used, so you can follow suit! It’s a bit pricey though, at P850. But it’s a good investment for any artist.

Hey guys, I just realized that there were broken links in the gallery entries. This is mainly because I was accessing the outgoing links while I was logged on to the respective sites. I apologize for this. I corrected those links already. You can view the revised posts below:

A tall, yellow-haired, young European traveler calling himself “Mogor dell’Amore,” the Mughal of Love, arrives at the court of the Emperor Akbar, lord of the great Mughal empire, with a tale to tell that begins to obsess the imperial capital, a tale about a mysterious woman, a great beauty believed to possess powers of enchantment and sorcery, and her impossible journey to the far-off city of Florence.
The Enchantress of Florence is the story of a woman attempting to command her own destiny in a man’s world. It is the story of two cities, unknown to each other, at the height of their powers–the hedonistic Mughal capital, in which the brilliant Akbar the Great wrestles daily with questions of belief, desire, and the treachery of his sons, and the equally sensual city of Florence during the High Renaissance, where Niccolò Machiavelli takes a starring role as he learns, the hard way, about the true brutality of power.
Vivid, gripping, irreverent, bawdy, profoundly moving, and completely absorbing, The Enchantress of Florence is a dazzling book full of wonders by one of the world’s most important living writers. Recommended.
