Day 7: ⚔️ Happy ending ⚔️

A knight in battle attire

got into bed with his squire.

Instead of conquering forts,

they played with each others swords.

I feel the ending of KCD2 is a pretty good happy ending for the boys (if you romance Hans, of course 😎). The last dialogue options between them are lovely 🩷

To wrap up the challenge, I wanted to try out a different drawing style. So, I based this one on an illustration from the Codex Manesse, but adapted it to the boys. It’s kind of sad that this Hansry Week is coming to an end. It’s been amazing seeing so many artists pouring their heart into this, and I’m really happy I got to be part of it too. Thanks to everyone! 🥰🥰🥰

More WIPs ✨

(On pause while I have to finish something else 🫣👑)

•After all, bc I wanted to draw the codex manesse with Baldwin (and Lluna), I decided to start drawing some of them in a collage, for convenience. But I also would like them as individual pieces so im not sure how to go about it

•The elamite masks ✨

•from this video that i was obsessed with a few years ago

•Ignore the sword angle, I have to change it. The banner will have a jerusalem cross ofc. The original draft of this is from long ago, and I started making it with his movie look, the scene of him entering Kerak which is one of my favorite shots. But then I decided to adapt it more to my stories, give him a white caftan-tunic (will have golden embroidery running down the center) and another, short sleeved caftan underneath, indigo blue to match the turban… which has lore in HCW.

•Elf Baldwin in Lothlórien

shdjsjsjsjjd i have a few of these that make me laugh

One of my relatively close Irish ancestors is called McAnally for example 😭😭😭 and one of the byzantines (an antecesor of the Komnenos dynasty) is called ✨ Erotikos ✨

I have been seriously building my family tree since 2016, and the amount of names in my head is just ridiculous—sometimes I can visualize the tree in it and navigate thru it, a couple of times I even dreamed about it 💀. But it can get too much. That’s why I didn’t even remember that Fulk was there, in various branches of it. And i don’t think I ever realized that Renaud was there too—i wish I hadn’t Hhhahahahahahhah

My dream is to meet some ancestors 🥲 so thats why im writing Vide Cor Meum, a time travel Baldwin x OC that expresses this wish, by having the OC discover them (in an Assassin’s Creed typa way) and it’s like a mystery adventure kind of story, in part
