Genghis_Khan.jpg
I decided to Genghis Khan because I tend to like war figures and stories as they tend to have a very direct and profound effect on people, cultures, and life in general. He forged the great Mongolian Empire out of Asia and Europe. Not quite sure how I want to approach this yet but I'm thinking about depicting him in a way that he resembles other war hero's such as our George Washington or i'd like to draw him while including subtle images that depict all the people he has killed in his life as near the end of his life he would totally obliterate entire cities. Sometimes his ruthlessness was provoked, other times not so much.
