The second main character in  abakan commission is the lovely female character Shamira. Now I have done a couple commissions of Shamira a few years ago for Abakan, but my character drawing skills have improved since then so I thought it was wise to revisit the character again and do some new character sketches. One of things that I found challenging while doing research for this piece was lack of concise information documenting civilian fashion and clothing in Germany during WWII.
