This one is one of my favorites thus far.

Thanks Blackrx. It was a quick unplanned sketch.

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?

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!

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'.

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!
