Hello, Master artist, I used your stunning art to illustrate some background text on our Ninth Age Belgium Facebook page, giving you due credits of course ! (link : web.facebook.com/groups/220127β¦ )
The text in question is about the Huskarl unit in the Γ
skland Barbarians army.

I'm just going to make a new comment and copy+paste my last one as this has became cluttered.
"Indeed, Think you could draw it?
Like I said I'd love to see the Vendel XIV helmet but you're the artist, All I say is that my friend didn't at all like the spangenhelm with the nasal guard for the helmet.
But like I said if you were to do it could you leave out all the silly fur and leather? What I take from your pictures and comments here I think we could both agree to leaving out fur and leather."

I don't do requests just commissions but a historical Stormcloak sounds like a great idea so I'll probably draw one soon.

I'd have never thought of a historical Stormcloak wearing a Vendel XIV helmet until first asking you, Certainly thought of something new that day.

Oh that's wonderful, I'd pay for a commission but I'm saving my money for a sixty dollar commission byΒ galagraphia.deviantart.com/ once she gets less busy. I cannot pay for both, However given that you said that at some point you might draw one is great news to me.

Such as instead of having that "Tunic and fur/leather boots' look (gematsu.com/gallery/albums/the⦠) It'd have actual trousers.
No fur vambraces just the sleeves.
I do hope I'm not making too many demands that removes artistic freedom?
I mean I basically took away the fantasy aspects in my request.

Not exactly the way they're shown with the equipment in the game, A drawing that takes place a number of yeas later as in the roleplay that has been going on for years.
Something that is similar to the overall design but equipped for fighting in hotter weather, So no fur or leather.
As in the game it'd be equipped with maille and a gambeson, If possible should you be willing to draw this could you make it in a more historical fashion. Such as instead of the whole 'Fantasy Barbarian' look make it mimic a historical practical designs while keeping with the game's style.

I didn't get too much input from my friend whom is also trying to find a good representation but his input that he gave me was in the pictures I could find he was off putt by the spangenhelm with the nasal guard (casiberia.com/img/prod/ab0399_β¦ ).

I mean look at these pictures you've made:Β jlazaruseb.deviantart.com/art/β¦ , jlazaruseb.deviantart.com/art/β¦ , jlazaruseb.deviantart.com/art/β¦ .
You've shown a knack for drawing Norse-Germanic kit.

Perhaps the Vendel XIV helmet?
I'd like that quite a bit.

That is a good helmet to use. Aside from the silly boots and gloves, this guy made the blue cloak look semi-historical. Β The celtic pattern is a nice touch.Β 3.bp.blogspot.com/-mGwuywB_Ticβ¦

Whoops replied to myself, I'll quote what I said again here.
"What I'd like from you is something that fits the overall Nordic style in a much more realistic design."

I think historical Stormcloaks would look good wearing various standard 9th century Norse gear but with identical blue cloaks and/or tunics, and shields bearing Ulfric's Windhelm insignia. Β

Certainly nicely made but not what we're looking for, I do appreciate you helping the search.
Believe me I've been searching for hours at a time in the past, I couldn't find anything in fact I linked my friend (ColonelKillaBee from TES Alliance) some of your pictures and while they were well drawn even they weren't fitting for what he and I had in mind.

In the off chance that you'd be willing to do such a thing could we discuss it first before you'd draw it?
Again in the off chance that you'd be willing.
