There's something truly magical about late 19th century history paintings.

It's the last gasp of the French Academic style, but instead of lots of drapery and allegory, they are taking cues from the rising tide of archaeological research and forward-looking school of narrative illustration, which adds up to the first real attempts to depict the past as best they it could be imagined. These paintings have more in common with the old-(ish) National Geographic illustrations of life in ancient Knossos than they do with their contemporaries in the Pre-Raphaelite movement.

From top to bottom-

"Cardinal Richelieu at the Siege of La Rochelle," by Henri-Paul Motte (1881)- depicts the siege by the forces of Louis XIII of France, lead by Cardinal Richelieu, against the Huguenots in the port of La Rochelle, 1627-1628

"Zenobia's Last Look on Palmyra," by Herbert Schmalz (1888)- depicts the Palmyrene Queen Septimia Zenobia in the moments before fleeing her besieged capitol and being captured by the forces of the Roman emperor Aureliuan, 272 AD

bThinking back to my second ever dnd combat, an arena style oneshot to see if six level 15 paladins could defeat a tarrasque (we did!)

This is Ogon Helmetshrike, my half-orc oath of watchers paladin. I based their design off the helmetshrike bird. Which is a very cool name, but a little cutie of a bird! (image and image I.D under read-more)
