A pair from Volantis.

These two are not necessarily a married pair, but they are similar in age and their status isn't too wildly different from one another. I wanted him to be more of a "regular, successful citizen" where she is someone who has servants, or at least has enough for gold jewelry. Potentially the wife of a rich merchant, which could be him.

(If you see this without the other Volantis images know that this is a companion-post , not the whole picture. ;D)

Essos Infographic: Volantis

"Volantis, often called Old Volantis and the First Daughter, is a city in southwestern Essos. Located at the mouth of the Rhoyne on the Summer Sea, it is the oldest and the proudest of the Nine Free Cities. Volantis is one of the greatest, richest, and most powerful of these city-states, and despite depopulation by ancient wars it is still the most populous.

There are five slaves for each free man in Volantis. It is custom in Volantis to have the faces of slaves tattooed, to mark their status. This custom is similarly practised in the cities under the control of Volantis, like Selhorys." - A Wiki of Ice and Fire (https://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Volantis)

Known slave tattoos of Volantis include: Squares of motley, a wheel tattooed upon one cheek, a lightning bolt that ran from jaw to brow, a coin upon the cheek, and leopard's spots.

I re-read the wiki page for Volantis to double check but none of the quotes or descriptions of the populace specifically mention either feature. Secondly, it is not a very ethnically homogeneous place with slaves outnumbering free people 5 to 1. Third: I haven’t drawn the highest of the noble classes (I've drawn slaves, merchants & wealthy citizens) so if that’s your head canon, ～⁠(⁠꒪⁠꒳⁠꒪⁠)⁠～.

oh yes, I'm afraid many (if not most) of them have been on Pinterest since they were posted in 2020-2022. It got so bad I made an account on there to post my own stuff so at least most of it would link directly back to me.

Up Next: Volantis

The connection to a major river, warm weather, wealth, etc lead me right to India for the starting inspiration. It's not one to one but hopefully some of the reference carries through. Naturally we also had to have the canonical face tattoos.

A Dothraki pair

Not necessarily a couple-couple but could be. They are similar in age and in decoration.

She is wearing almost like the 'winter' version of Dothraki clothing. Still a riding outfit but with an under-long sleeve/jacket. In a warmer time of year she too would be shirtless underneath her vest.

Essos Infographic: Dothraki

"The Dothraki people are a culture of nomadic warriors in Essos who range across the vast grasslands of the Dothraki seain hordes known as khalasars. People of the Seven Kingdoms and the Free Citiesalso refer to the Dothraki as horselords.

Dothraki typically have copper-toned skin, black hair, and black, almond-shaped eyes.Dothraki men wear their hair in long braids, oiled or greased with fat from the rendering pits.Dothraki warriors carry small bells in their braids, which ring softly when they move. They are only allowed to braid their hair after they have won a victory. A bell is added to their braid after each victory; The braid is only cut when a Dothraki warrior is defeated in battle, an act through which he lets the world know his shame. Only few men die with their braids never having been cut off.Men further might wear metal rings bound in their mustachios.

Both men and women might wear painted leather vests over bare chests and horsehair leggings cinched by bronzemedallion belts, although wealthier Dothraki might also have silver and golden medallions on their belts. Others might wear sandsilk trousers. For footwear Dothraki wear leather boots, leather sandals which lace up to the knee, or sandals of woven grass." - A Wiki of Ice and Fire (https://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Dothraki)
