Claudius of Kythrea

My username is in Latin. It means "Kythrean." Kythrea is a region in Cyprus. I'm from there. I live in the Republic of Cyprus now. I believe that we should unite Cyprus. 🇨🇾

I make art and write books. My Turkish book, a historical fiction novel, will be published soon (more info on that later.)

All the art is mine, unless specified otherwise. No machine generated art here!

I'm a postgraduate student in Archaeology. I have a bachelor's degree in History.

I use a cane daily. I'm disabled and neurodivergent.

Commissions open! Contact me if you're interested :)

I Know He Won't Come For Me But Imagining That Made Me Happy

Young historian is cleansed by an entity while his spiritual brother Octavian holds him as he bleeds. The title is written in Old Roman Cursive in the side. Also used as a cover for my Turkish novel "Yıkım, Kıyım, İntihar" currently being published.

[Image description: A pencil sketch with the prominent colors of the drawing being orange, yellow, pink, and brown. There is a young man on the ground, held by a Roman helmet wearing entity without eyes. The Roman entity covers the eyes of the young man. The young man is bleeding from his chest with a wound cutting through. The young man is also missing a leg, bleeding out.

There is a tri-bodied angelic entity pointing a sword at the young man. Two of the heads of the entity have multiple eyes. The third head is blindfolded. The Roman entity has a singular wing, and the angelic entity also has a singular wing. The angelic entity has multiple legs. One of the angelic bodies is reaching for the Roman figure.

The... Jungian thing, sir!

Nothing I Can Do Will Bring You Back

Their eyes are closed, and their mouth is gently covered by a foreign hand accented with green and purple. Another foreign hand, accented with the same colors, is holding the person's hand over their chest. The background is black. End image description]
