I'm really liking this style of illustration. I know it goes for a 'dressed up' version of what all these uniforms and equipment actually looked like (I mean in terms of saturation, linework, etc), but it helps bring everything to life IMO. Thanks for sharing all these(!)

Btw, did you see that I tagged you on an Asterix post? If you didn't, it's here: https://piefed.social/post/1205927

Always happy to share! The boys are ready for the parade ground, that's for sure!

lmao, fantastic!

Funny enough, souvenirs were peddled in Classical antiquity! Lamps and glasses in particular, depicting landmarks or famous athletes.

Fascinating. ("no no, Mr. Spock, I'm not trying to usurp your place! no, not the neck-pinch, nahh..")

Sorry.

Anyway, that does make total sense, though, right? I mean, the biggest bloc of us 'hoomans' have been in a capitalistic org for the last... 5-6-7Kyrs at the very least, no? So the invention of the 'kiosk' must go back... oh my gosh, how long, exactly..? (even just as an early example of barter, before standardised currency)
