Description Part of a medieval style series I did for the banners of a breedable shop in gaia, The Changed

It was a very interesting challenge that forced me to forget all I've learned about perspective and proportions
I used the illustration of a medieval bestiary as reference

I really love this. I absolutely adore the old heraldric style you used. You don't see people employing that very often anymore.

It's rather tricky because you need to forget just about everything you've learned (perspective, proportions, etc)

But it was a great exercise ^^

Yeah, it's definitely more concerned with drama and style than being accurate in any way, shape or form.

That said, it would be an excellent tattoo flash.
