Everything seems to come together for a really effective atmosphere in this - tinting, hatching, light/dark contasts, converging lines and all. Is he from any particular place and time?
Thanks Ldahl. The flagpost is actually wrong, size and perspective-wise. Heheh.
Johnny Norms, no. I just drew a typical man-at-arms. Chainmail, etc. Not very different from the Normans and Saxons at the Battle of Hastings. Essentially, an early 'knight'.

Thanks Blackrx. It was a quick unplanned sketch.

Love the forground figure and the sloped angle of the drawing ... it makes the figure seem oppressed and sets up a line of tension. Cool!

I'm a Norman, but I don't know if I'm descended from the Normans or no. Did early knights get plenty of sleep!
