#codex manesse

A knight in battle attire

got into bed with his squire.

Instead of conquering forts,

they played with each others swords.

I feel the ending of KCD2 is a pretty good happy ending for the boys (if you romance Hans, of course 😎). The last dialogue options between them are lovely 🩷

‘Tis ye olde Medieval universum alternativum for day 5 of @codywanweek! I had so much fun making this, it was great 😌.

Codex Manesse, Zürich, ca. 1300-1340, 30r

(On pause while I have to finish something else 🫣👑)

•After all, bc I wanted to draw the codex manesse with Baldwin (and Lluna), I decided to start drawing some of them in a collage, for convenience. But I also would like them as individual pieces so im not sure how to go about it

•The elamite masks ✨

•Ignore the sword angle, I have to change it. The banner will have a jerusalem cross ofc. The original draft of this is from long ago, and I started making it with his movie look, the scene of him entering Kerak which is one of my favorite shots. But then I decided to adapt it more to my stories, give him a white caftan-tunic (will have golden embroidery running down the center) and another, short sleeved caftan underneath, indigo blue to match the turban… which has lore in HCW.

shdjsjsjsjjd i have a few of these that make me laugh

One of my relatively close Irish ancestors is called McAnally for example 😭😭😭 and one of the byzantines (an antecesor of the Komnenos dynasty) is called ✨ Erotikos ✨

I have been seriously building my family tree since 2016, and the amount of names in my head is just ridiculous—sometimes I can visualize the tree in it and navigate thru it, a couple of times I even dreamed about it 💀. But it can get too much. That’s why I didn’t even remember that Fulk was there, in various branches of it. And i don’t think I ever realized that Renaud was there too—i wish I hadn’t Hhhahahahahahhah
