Black JAC Plague

My character, a Bubonic plague doctor, infected?! I figure, since there were so many killed and sick that wouldn't it make sense if one of the doctor's was bound to get sick at one point. Anyway, learned a lot about this while drawing. 

history lesson:

They believed that covering themselves head to toe would stop infection. The beak of the bird-like mask was to filter out the air and cover up the stink of dead bodies. Oh and if you didn't know, that nursery ryhme we sang as kids..."Ring around the Rosey" is referrring completely to the Black plague. The rod/stick was to look at the patient without any actualy physical contact. The masks are supposed to be creepy to scare off spirits. There were a lot of theories for the cause. Jogees if you read all that...L~

I don't want to say it was fun because it was such a dark time in humanity considering they probably thought it was an apocalypse. But I admit. This was fun =v=
