I decided to draw a church in an axonometric view. The church is fictional and concieved in a Middle Byzantine style, with Saint Nicholas of Myra as its patron saint. I hope you guys like it! #smallartists #architecture #doodles #byzantium #medieval
We pass some webs everyday, never knowing what they truly weave. Qinse. Artisans of subterfuge. Cunning leiges of shadow. Clandestine networks of empirical worlds.

As much as I wish this was a reference to 1054, references to "Persia" in Greek texts are by that time clearly anachronizing, as neither the caliphate, nor the Buyids, nor the Seljuks called themselves "Persia."
But this could be a from 590!

The beauty of the Byzantine eunuch was defined by a highly prized, liminal aesthetic, a delicate fusion of youthful, feminine, and angelic traits. Their appearance was revered as a symbol of both purity and imperial luxury.

The Eastern Orthodox Empire, primarily known as the Byzantine Empire (or Eastern Roman Empire), was a medieval Christian state centered on Constantinople (Istanbul), where the Eastern Orthodox Church served as the official state religion, deeply intertwined with imperial authority. It maintained Roman law, Greek culture, and Orthodox theology from the 4th century until 1453. Eastern Orthodoxy, officially Orthodox Catholic Church, One of the three major branches of Christianity. Its adherents live mostly in Greece, Russia, the Balkans, Ukraine, and the Middle East, with a large following in North America and Australia. The titular head of Eastern Orthodoxy is the ecumenical patriarch of Constantinople (Istanbul), but its many territorial churches (including the huge Russian Orthodox church and the Greek Orthodox church) are governed autonomously by head bishops or patriarchs, who must be unmarried or widowed even though lower orders of the clergy may marry. Eastern Orthodoxy also boasts a strong monastic tradition. The separation of the Eastern churches from the Western, or Latin, branch began with the division of the Roman Empire into two parts under Constantine I. A formal break was made in 1054 (see Schism of 1054). Doctrinally, Eastern Orthodoxy differs from Roman Catholicism in that it does not accept the primacy of the pope or the clause in the Western creed that states that the Holy Spirit proceeds from both the Father (God) and the Son (Jesus). The Orthodox church accepts the decisions of the seven ecumenical councils as well as several later ones. It maintains that there are seven sacraments and has a worship service that is theologically and spiritually rich. In the early 21st century, Eastern Orthodoxy had more than 200 million adherents worldwide.

Enter the dark forests, where the Yvilette satisfy, yet never quench.
Beware her eyes -- which hold power to slumber even the strongest will.

Dark forests have revealed a new pulse.
Not all vampires match the benevolence of their Vloriel (Vampiric Lord).
Some are more... thirsty.

On #InternationalWomensDay, it’s worth showcasing 𝗔𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮 𝗝𝘂𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗮, a Byzantine aristocrat who proved that architecture could be a tool of power.
Her monumental Church of St. Polyeuctus in Constantinople was so impressive that Justinian had to respond by building Hagia Sophia.
