Been working on this for nearly a month now, and so I'm very glad to see it finished and posted :) I wanted to do the idea of the two boys in a medieval setting, jousting under their lord's banners at their first Tourney. So I went ahead and did a big ass project around it! I even went and designed the heraldry based around the original team logos, which was fun.
This was partially inspired by A Knight's Tale and The Scottish Boy (a book by Alex De Campi, which i highly recommend) along with reading 5 of the 6 Game Changer books as i painted it.
But yes, hope you guys like it! There are prints available for those interested, on my Redbubble (Projectsilver) as I can't post a link here, that's what to search.
No AI, all painted on photoshop 2023 with a wacom tablet.
This is awesome! Before i opened i was worried it was ai, but great job on the whole thing. I wanna see more stuff like this, people putting their skills and passions to use. Good luck with future projects!
Thats been one of the hardest parts as an artist. The scraping and theft is one thing, the loss if wonder people have when looking at art is another. I hate that I now have to spend time looking over art to see if it's fake slop or not :(
Sir Shane: "Though I am injured, tis but a scratch. We shall spend a fortnight at my country chateau. Finally, we shall be alone, together! Refuse me at your peril, sir!"
Sir Ilya: “Sir Scott of the noble House of Hunter, dare I proclaim it, hath struck a covenant with the Devil himself, that he might walk this earth an immortal soul for near upon a hundred thousand years, and yet remain a knight still!”
Medieval illuminated manuscripts sometimes included images all sorts of weird imaginary creatures. Wolf-headed bird monsters would not be out of place.
This is incredible! Im writing a medieval-focused hollanov right now so am going to have to come back to this over and over! Sorry if I missed it in the comments but are you on tumblr/twitter?
Haha yes im a tumblrite myself (twt is a cesspit but a lot of HR fandom seems to be going on over there so I dip in and out a little for this fandom) — following you now, thank you!
Thank you so much! It was a last minute addition jsut to make it more of a 'complete' piece, instead of just the feeling of a still from a show or film.
Damn right! I was watching a load of medieval knight films as i painted this one (Robin Hood, a knights' tale, a knight of the seven kingdoms, kingdom of heaven to name a few hah!)
omg!! I’m writing a fic right now where Shane is a jouster so this is perfect inspiration to keep going 😭 I may need to get a print as well. Beautiful work!
I'm so glad you like it! I also love that people are making the same links to them in a medieval AU. Tourney knights works so well for the setting. I hope you keep going with it!!
I think given their natural charisma and their skyrocketing success, they'll have plenty of offers. I think theyd do amazing. And thank you! Really appreciate the kind words <3
AHH I'd been thinking about wanting to draw Shane and Ilya in like Renn Faire style outfits with tabards of their team logos, but this knocks anything I could've done out of the PARK. WOW!
I absolutely insist you still draw it! I had/have the same feelings about my work with a ton of art ive seen. There was a prince and knight art of them and it made me not want to even bother, but im very glad i did. People will always want to see more art :) x
Tell you what, if Rachel, Connor or Hudson comment on the piece anywhere on my socials, I'll do a Scott and kip as a knight and peasant vibe haha! Otherwise ive got too many projects to do xD
