Honestly after reading some manhwas (korean comix)… That doesn’t look that bad. The horrorses I saw…

I always figured when it came to stuff like this it was more a case of “Fuck fuck fuck I fucked up the illustration I spent the last 2 months on and parchment costs like 500 whatever money we use now, there’s nothing in the budget to get more. Just have to do my best with it, like maybe 50 people total will even see the damn thing.”

The little fucking X’s on the eyes of the dead knight

Reminder that most medieval illustrations aren’t from professional artists, but from monks who spent 90% of their time copying the bible and other manuscripts by hand. Not exactly an environment conducive to artistic improvement (doctrine also played a role in the art looking like that, but the point still stands).

People might be bored of it now but this really shows why realistic painting went crazy for so long when it finally came back, because for centuries people literally forgot how (and weren’t terribly interested in learning). Actual middle school skill levels here, no offense.

“Draw a horse from memory” was such a fun online art challenge, most of them were this bad or worse

That’s not a horse though. It’s obviously a knight slaying a mythical egg-beast, with a horse face, shaggy tits and spider legs before it eats the knight’s friendo
Obviously.inspired by St. George slaying the dragon. Duh!

Middle ages lasted for 1000 thousands years, each century a different art style. Some were more stylize and some more realistic. People need to stop treating middle ages as a single time period that last only for one century or something

Biblically accurate Goldship.

You do have to hand it to medieval skill in iconography, that egg shaped abomination is still recognizably a horse.
