I've posted them before, but three websites that are invaluable resources of pre-16th century reference material for me:
manuscriptminiatures.com
armourinart.com
effigiesandbrasses.com/search

Meeting others who are passionate about the same things as you, and sharing those things with them, is an unbeatable feeling.

I post a stupid little mini-rant about AI over on twitter, I then go to check my notifications, and there's now a trickle of bot accounts liking the posts, probably because GenAI was mentioned.

Man... this sucks.

@knightnsfw(on twitter)'s Kobold Cleric, Amani, to work on drawing feminine body shapes, it was pretty good practice. Still got a long way to go though.

As opposed to other, more heavily documented periods, in my experience, where there's more people with a higher standard of accuracy due to the availability of the information.

Vonagh (dragon_passant art) @postludedragon.bsky.social · 29d

Yeah it ends up being real nuanced and a bit more of a rabbithole than other periods due to its popularity but also lack of strong sources to pull from. You end up with such a mix of really good, earnest research, and then others using the "Absence of evidence" phrase as an excuse to make things up.

Just some TTRPG worldbuilding stuff as a warmup.

This right here is one of the many reasons why early Northern European and adjacent reenactment and experimental archeology is such a crapshoot of conflicting ideas and wild speculation, you have to be -really- thorough and extra careful when trying to depict or understand something so undocumented.

Anfor @anforsorrow.bsky.social · Jan 7

I recently played Valheim for the first time, and this was the first thing I noticed, so I had to make a little comic about it.

#anforscorner #comic #art #furryart #furrycomic #avian #anthro #history #viking #vegvísir

"Anfor's Corner - Vegvísir"

Panel 1, Anfor, an anthropomorphic magpie, explains while holding a book "Vikings and medieval norse culture are very popular in media nowadays. And one symbol that is seen a lot in those settings is this one, the Vegvisir"

Panel 2, Anfor continues, along a bigger copy of the symbol "a magical compass, this symbol appears in all kinds of Viking-themed movies, series, video games, tattoos... but it has nothing to do with the vikings!"

Panel 3 shows a photo of the vegvísir, as it appears in the Huld Manuscript. "It first appeared in the Huld Manuscript, a magic book from 1860, way long after the viking age. It claims to come from earlier nordic traditions, but without proof."

Fourth and final panel. Anfor, with a distraught look, continues. "Another magical symbol that is not from the Viking Age, but that I have seen Viking reenactors paint on their shields is the so-called “Helm of Awe.” And although the helm appears in Norse sagas, the symbol is taken from a 1670 manuscript!"

[OC] 🗡️ Dreadful Delilah - the corrupted knight 🐉

Tempted by the sheer power, she fell to the promises of Satan, father of dragons, and was transformed. Now, as a vile half-dragon, she roams the land preying on young and weak knights. Her greatest foe however is her lifelong enemy, Lady Inez.

I got laid off because 2025 can't stop using me as a punching bag. (With terrible timing too, about to move across the country)

But hey, at least I can finally dedicate more time to drawing...
