Medieval Art

[Aiden of Oreland]

Haha I did this in the middle of English class a few weeks ago. maybe I'll actually finish it lol

[Ian]

I don't draw very frequently, but my medium of artistic expression is photography.  These are medieval in nature, and you've seen them if you're on facebook.  So I will slap them in this thread as my 'medieval art.'

The first two are kind of 'Medieval Noir' and go together...


"Chivalry"


"Golden Spurs"


And a more cheerful entry:

I've always been a fan of photography. I do really like the blend of medieval subjects with a modern medium.

Your work reminds me of a photographer who used a Civil War-era camera to take tin-types of his comrades in Afghanistan.

Oh wow, that's really awesome!  You see so many people trying to fake civil war imagery for their LH Civil War kits, and that gets old... but to see the juxtaposition of a modern military subject on a 19th century medium is pretty cool!

THAT is really cool. They look like normal greyscale photos at first, but then you realize...no, something's a little different about them.

That's great! I love seeing these kinds of photography projects.

Considering that the Maciejowski Bible depicted ancient events with contemporary soldiers, I'm a bit tempted to illustrate a passage using modern US military troops as the subjects. Nothing quite like David, Saul, and Apache Helicopters.

Ian is one of the only guys here that pulls his photo-ops with ease with genuine authenticity. He shows the true love & look of medieval historia.

Thank you very much Lord Dane!

That would be so awesome! I've actually seen some similar examples to this from artists on the net, with illuminated manuscript-style images made portraying modern settings or even futuristic things.

[Sir Rodney]

I have the poor man's version of Ian's kit.  Some day I'll get to this point!

[Sir Nate]

I finished this for art.

[Mike W.]

That's pretty good. Color is one aspect I never could master.
