I would rather see your art than AI

Create in your own way, forget about perfection. You don't need professional equipment or software. I use MS Paint and for this art I used my laptop trackpad!

In a world where people seek polished perfection, and machines can seem to promise results people could never imagine; we're at risk of being watered down and move away from the very thing that makes us human.

Live wonky and imperfect!

All work made in MS Paint (Windows 10) with a computer mouse only.

I started using MS Paint in earnest in April of 2014, and I've been developing my cartoonish style since.

I loved playing with proportions and caricature, which leant naturally to my huge passion of medieval history as I explored the art of the time.

In my work I try to reflect my interests and story, and this is a collection of my Video Game Illuminated Manuscripts. Adapting core parts into a medieval sensibility and referencing it's medieval analogue for proportions and decorations. For example; ● Pikachu is framed in a page representing the Pokedex. ● Sephiroth is depicted as a biblically accurate medieval angel/seraphim.

Thanks for hearing my story ☺️

I make medieval art inspired work with MS Paint and just a mouse to draw.

I like picking out manuscript details such as flowers and gold leaf, while rendering people and animals in that silly medieval style.

Pop culture and memes references find their way in to my work, though I'm keen to not be just another 'basic medieval artist' and make a bunch of rabbits and snails with weapons - it just feels cliche at this point.

Really trying to find my voice in this style and adapting a silly/naive childlike wonder to art creation, and mixing my geeky interests with some political and mental health posivitivy undertones.

Using my super professional MS Paint skills to draw Pokemon in just 3 basic shapes and colour fill.

The first one is the easiest, and I think they get harder as it goes on! Did you get all 20?

Biblically accurate Sephiroth - the One Winged Angel

Drawn with a mix of mouse and laptop trackpad

1. Flowers in border are those loved by Aerith
2. Letter S in the shape of a one winged serpent to reference Sephiroth and his Satanic imagery, but also the green serpent he slays early in the game,
3. Shield with a wheel to the right, pulling on Ophanim depictions which are interlocking wheels covered in eyes and shrouded in wings, I see as an inspiration for Sephiroth's form here.
4. The Latin along the scroll are from his theme song and translate to "Come, come, O come, please don't let me die" and are taken from the Carmina Burana manuscript which was a selection of medieval poems originally. Key artwork of this manuscript depicts a large wheel similar to the shield emblem.
5. A VII corner detail to reference Final Fantasy VII
6. Ending with some marginalia of his katana, the Masamume.
7. Overall depiction of Sephiroth is accurate to the games, his main body wings and doubled halo crown all suit the fancy manuscript page design I've often seen reserved for Saints and Heavenly beings,

I'm a Sheffield born artist and I create medieval manuscripts in MS Paint.

This month I got some works printed at A5, and took them out to places to see if they wanted to help me sell.

First was Off the Canvas, a great venue with other wonderful makers.

Second was Robin's Nest, a cosy geeky anime comic shop, worth a visit!

This has all happened in a couple of weeks and it's a bit overwhelming learning all the ropes of being an artist.

Next plans is to do art markets and make some other things like stickers and some hand-made stuff!

The man, the myth, the legend: Leeroy Jenkins.

Styled and decorated like many medieval depictions of Jesus and Saints. Leeroy is positioned like a brave knight in action, a halo adorning his head, and chicken in hand. Lots of religious imagery and references, including little cherubim angels (be not afraid). It seems the Cupid style of cherubs was more popular in the Renaissance.

Beneath Leeroy is his battle cry quote before he cries his own name to lead the charge. Flanked either side of this are the 2 statues featured on the WoW Login screen, and initialed with an A in the style of the game's Desktop icon.

No fear, no regret, no hesitation - together, we can all be Leeroy Jenkins.
