Black & white sketch commentary:

The reason why Sweden is called “Lion of the North”, Gustavus Adolphus. A powerful and rare monarch who had support in all classes of society, founder of Swedish Empire and initiator of a Golden Age.

I sneak peeked on some of the released screenshots and arts of CIV V: Gods and Kings, and was more than excited to find this leader being added to the line up!

Colored commentary:

Gustavus Adolphus and his fab beard. I got to use a lot of custom brushes for this one and it was fun! Sweden though. What are you doing what exactly are you aiming at.
