I will cautiously admit it may be a little better than last years human attempt~ Since doing one a year does not seem to be working as much as I'd like I will also do two photo studies before July. Plus I'll work on some sketchy/gesture stuff but I'm fairly sure they will stay with me like most of my sketches. then I'll go back to avoiding humans at all cost like 90% of the folks here ;3
As for the picture itself it is a casual mix of history and fantasy and you shouldn't worry about it too much as a whole. If I had infinite time or was paid a little for looking into things I would have researched tonnes of stuff and made it accurate to the time period. You can trust me on the dogs and paved roads... maybe wine fields too!
