Very late 15th knight with some elements prompted by a Polish effigy

Didn't show around here the little coat of arms I designed and embroidered for my boy's fencing jacket (I still have to sew it there)
Filled the medieval room from le Musée des Arts décoratifs with my goobers✨
holi I’d like to know about the existence of more artists who work on medieval stuff! I feel like they reach my acc but I lose them in the interactions and new followers, and I’m sure there’re many of you out there😩 show yourselves on the comments plzz 😼⚔️✨
People sometimes ask where to find references; I have been in the process of refining a website I've been using for quick reference on discord. eol-art.fr/history/ The museums section is the most important one for discovering artefacts at different angles and closeups.
