TaDa!

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 ☺️

Ende was a Spanish manuscript illuminator from 10th century. She worked on a group of manuscripts, of which there are 24 known copies with illustrations. These manuscripts contain the Commentary on the Apocalypse compiled by the Spanish monk Beatus of Liébana in 786. Her signature is in it. She signed the work as: ENDE PINTRIX ET DEI AIUTRIX. That is: Ende painter and helper of God.

Looking for information on what is illustrated in this image. I am wanting to find context before incorporating it into a project I am working on.

Eufrasia Burlamacchi (1482-1548) was an Italian artist, illuminator, miniaturist and mother superior. She was born in a rich merchant family in Tuscany and joined Dominican nuns at the young age. She studied the art of miniature with the Pisan master Sister Benedetta Arnolfini. She practiced the art of miniature for at least half a century, from the beginning of the sixteenth century until 1545.

Sibylla von Bondorf (sometimes her name is written as Sibilla von Bondorf) (1450-1524) was a German manuscript illuminator and nun in the order of Poor Clares. She primarily illuminated devotional books, music manuscripts and Alemannic legends of saints. She also painted a rule of the order of the Bicken Monastery in Villingen and hymn books of other Freiburg monasteries.

Hiiii! If anyone saw my last post and now this you will be under the assumption that I’m deep diving artworks of Christ’s side wound… this is correct. I haven’t been looking into medieval art for very long but I am just so fascinated by this topic! I found this and I’m just in awe of it and would love to know what the two texts on the side say. Is anybody able to decipher/translate it? Or is there any thing anyone recommends to learn to decipher medieval script? Thanks!

Just some fun doodles I worked on over the weekend of my dog in medieval style. For years her nicname has been Lady Emma so it is very fitting. <3

It was found in 2003, and the sainted statue is considered of really significant European importance

Hi! I’ve been looking into medieval art lately but I’ve been struggling to identify a lot of the figures in artworks (I was never given a religious education so I’m unsure as to whether they are biblical characters or just random figures a lot of the time). I was wondering if anyone knew anything about the figures in this folio from the Psalter of Bonne de Luxembourg? (The two on either side of the coat of arms and also the one with the ladder - maybe a hybrid because of his legs?)

I really enjoyed doing the A a few weeks ago so I've started doing the hole alphabet.

Very pleased with how he turned out and I won’t be selling him because his base body was over $300 and fully poseable 😂 he will stay in my personal collection til death due us part LOL ☠️

I’m currently writing a dissertation on Hildegard of Bingen’s Scivias illustrations.

In Book 3 vision III she refers to the first two figures as wearing purple. The colours used are usually faithful to her descriptions, so I’m wondering if anyone knows why these figures are instead in white and red? I know purple was expensive to produce but I looked it up and apparently it was still somewhat common to use in the 12th century, and if they couldn’t get it they would often emulate it using blue and red mixtures.

Anyone have any idea why it wouldn’t be used?
