Warriors

This weekend I bought Sims MEDIEVAL! It’s re-heely fun (though your sims don’t age which saddens me). I honour of the awesomeness of Sims MEDIEVAL today I bring you Warriors, knights being one of the hero types you can choose in Sims MEDI-cough cough-EVAL!

Profile of a Warrior in Armour by Leonardo Da Vinci (1480).

Armed Warrior on Horseback by Totoya Hokkei.

Theseus and Ariadne by Virginia Frances Sterrett (1921).

War Maiden by Ben Boos (Sword. Cambridge: Candle Wick Press, 2008.)

Illustration by N.C. Wyeth from page 306 of The Boy’s King Arthur in which Arthur and Mordred do battle (1922).

The Planet Mars. I got this picture from the book Mythology: Myths, Legends, & Fantasies by Dr. Alice Mills. It’s a fabulous resource for a well rounded look at mythology around the world and it has a lot of beautiful and diverse pictures.

I want this blog to be a success and by that I mean totally awesome so I thought I’d ask for some feedback. Anything you like or don’t like about this blog (If you don’t like anything about this blog you probably never will, I’m looking for constructive criticism). What do you want from this blog? Do you want to know about the artists, the artworks or the stories behind them. What do you want from me? Do you like to hear what’s going on in my life, or should I simply stick to the pictures, do you like it when I talk weird or would you prefer me to be utterly serious (there is no middle ground! Ok there is would you prefer a happy medium). Things along these lines, and please don’t be afraid to be the first to comment, I want to hear from you, and hopefully hearing from you will make this a better more interesting blog.

Picture of the Week: What's in an Allegory

Soak it in. Divine its meaning. Tis and Allegory by the great Leonardo da Vinci!

Personally I think it means, WATCH OUT FOR THAT GIANT EAGLE!! But I could be wrong.

On a side note what animal do you think it is in the boat?

Don’t read the next bit until you have answer lest it cloud your judgement.

I originally thought it looked like a pig (I think I’ve seen pigs steering ships before so it was the obvious choice) but then the INTERNET told me it was a wolf and more and more I think it looks like a wolf in everything but the face. That face is a mystery, a pig with a nose instead of a snout, but it really doesn’t look like a wolf to me. Oh woe, if only Leo was here now to clear up the matter, I’m sure he’d return my phone calls, unlike Michelangelo who would totally snub me. In any case, if you have any thoughts on the matter please let me know.

That was a bit of a wacky post for you, but it's a bit of a wacky picture, which is why I like it so much. Have a good weekend (I'm going to a party) and keep those imaginations pumping.
