Figures of Power

Inspired by this old image (relatively old) I decided to do a series of figures with the same concept.  I ended up going over board with the amount of reference/resource images I found and couldn't help but make sixteen new illustrations.  Some of them work better then others, but I think overall as a whole they work well together.  Even though the figures are all from different eras and locations I think the way I aged the photographs holds them together as one conheisive piece.  I am not sure what I will do with this project in the future, if it is complete or if it will change into something else again.
