Some illustrations of Streltsy(Shooters) I retouched to feature the colours and coat of arms I designed for House Vojvodin, the ruling family of The Tsardom of Rus’skaya. These illustrations are for a low-fantasy setting of my design with technology equivalent to the late medieval and renaissance periods, where formations of heavily armoured and mounted knights fight alongside armies of pikemen and matchlock musketeers, where medieval-style stone castles are gradually being outsourced in favour of both lavish country estates and devoted military fortifications due to the advancements made in artillery technology, and where rising nation-states in the form of Kingdoms and Empires look beyond the boundaries of the known world in search of greater wealth and territory. In context to the lore of my fantasy setting, House Vojvodin is the ruling family of The Tsardom of Rus’skaya, or my fantasy setting’s rough equivalent to The Tsardom and Empire of Russia during the Tsarist Period. (1547-1917)
