[slaps roof of coin] this bad boy can fit so many visual languages in it. 3 actually. only 1 of them is mine
the spiky halo around okosia’s head is the shape of their landmass according to georg ibispaint drawing
the toga picta absolutely did not look like that but i couldn’t find a reference and it was for the third visual language and davies is literally cosplaying so just ignore it
the flowers growing next to okosia are tansy. the flowers on the toga are nasturtium poppies rhododendrons rue and foxglove
luna bernadette is trajan coded and alfred davies is hadrian coded i rest my case
#avatar as seen by exchangee#<- the guy who designed this coin in universe was ostensibly working for chiendra but had very clearly differing beliefs#every single time i’ve drawn eden/okosia they’ve been occupied and miserable and i LOVE it that way#okosia#personifposting#STJ#nationspirits#not a state. not yet#gne#eden mortimer#alfred davies#contemporary old otj#personifwhump tag#art#also yes i did work out okosia’s roman attributes and their slipped chiton and everything#hadrian irl did mint a series of coins with ‘restitvtori [name of country]’ and he and the avatar were posed like that#i’m reading the hadrianic school by toynbee again and i lwk forgot. how much roman personiftranslation#influenced my attribute system lmao
