Art vs Artist (Broken neck edition)
A drawing of a 15th century knight based on the recreation of Le Gallois de Fougières by Genzdarmes 1415. A photo of the artist attending a Fiore's dagger class, his opponent both twisting his wrist and pushing his head back in what looks like a very painful move (it was).

Me: The Middle-Ages were actually very colorful.
Also me: I only want to paint black and green.

Peak 2025 is typing "before:2022" in every Google search so the results don't get polluted by AI slop. What a time to be alive!

Still pretending I'm doing #knightober and not doing what I'd do any month of the year anyway.

Starting #knightober, day 1! 🗡️ No particular prompt list for me, and I probably won't be able to do every day of the month. Health and safety first to everyone doing an October challenge this year, then have fun! :)

More mixing nonsense, but I'm having too much fun with it! 😊

The icon, the artist, the art 🗡️
The artist's profil picture, a cute little face with a mop of hair on top, drawn by Lucile Meunier about 12 years ago on the artist's naming badge.

#artvsartist mid-2025 🗡️

There seems to be a running theme here.
I had to cheat with a couple older drawings because of NDAs, but sudden and unexpected unemployment should bring some new personal pieces this year 😬
A 9 square grid with 8 drawings and a photo of the artist in the center, lovingly holding his HEMA mask. Every drawing depicts a different person in every kinds of poses and armor. However if corporate needed you to find the difference between these 8 pictures, you'd be forced to conclude: "They're the same picture".

Still looking for ways to color my sketches that don't rely on over-rendering things.

13th century inspired again, but definitely not historical.
A knight in mail armor and red tabard. She's wearing a closed helmet and wielding a sword and shield.

I really enjoyed the graphic novel, it's a great mix of history and fiction!
