SciFi and Fantasy Art Battling against demons by Coen de Moor

What is there to say?
A picture of knights fighting demons. I like to draw knights and demons.
The text is a well known prayer translated into gothic by a fourth century bisshop. In gothic it reads 'Atta unsar yn in himinam' (father ours up in heaven). Since it's a text from the 4th century, I guess there is no copyright on it.
What the connection is between the text and the picture? None, but this was the only gothic text I could find, and I wanted some old style lettering in the picture.
The lettering was done by myself. Of course, the drawing (ballpoint pen) and colouring (computer) was also done by me.

15 May 2003	Sophia 'Trollkind' Sundin	Loading... oh man, I like this one! It just feels like I'm standing in front of a biiiig wall and starring at this. And i would ask deleria, the cleric of my d&d-group, what is written there. and just at that moment a demon comes out of the shades, suddenly we are surrounded by flames ... Do we have a chance to survive? I take my bow... very inspiring picture! Coen de Moor replies: "Yes, I guess something like that would happen..."
17 May 2003	Jorieke JoSav Savelkouls	Loading... Wee! I think this is such a cool picture! The knights are very cool but the demons... the demons are absolutely fantastic! I want one! Lol. Good use of color too. Coen de Moor replies: "Thanks for liking it. I personaly think this is one of my best pictures ever. But other people can always have other ideas about it. You want a demon? That is so typpically you. Other people want kittens or a puppy, but you want a demon. I'll see if I can catch some for you...."
20 Sep 2003	Latromi	Loading... Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Coen de Moor replies: "Thanks."
22 Sep 2003	Crystal Flinn	Loading... Wow, that's beautiful. In a...scary kind of way, I mean. I would expect to see this on the wall of an ancient dungeon, warning of the horrors to come! Coen de Moor replies: "Thank you."
20 Oct 2003	Rochelle Green	Loading... I feel as if the holy ones are losing, because there is that demon flying over the knights looking mighty pleased with himself! Nice work with texture here I really like that poor scared priestie.
27 Oct 2003	Julia Hayn	Loading... You created a wonderful ancient atmosphere with this pic. Really great!
8 Nov 2003	Daniel Maertens	Loading... i think this invokes such a mood, so old, and heavy...of an ancient conflict, and legends, ahhh, this picture has very good story telling. Thats gothic script, i have seen actual gothic script, Its so interesting, Its a langauge, Like germanic or something, visisgoth/ostrogoth? or is it from later ages? anyways, its very intrigueing. Coen de Moor replies: "Thank you.About the text: it is a well known prayer translated into gothic by a fourth century bisshop. In gothic it reads 'Atta unsar yn in himinam' (father ours up in heaven).I don't remeber the name of the bisshop, but it is one of the first attempts to put a Gothic language into writing. Latin and Greek were written languanges, but the "barbarian" languages were only spoken, not written. This bisshop developed an alphabet, based on the latin alphabet, but also inspired by runes, to bring christian messages closer to the barbarians.So, I didn't make it up, I only copied it. It was a lot of work though, to exactly copy the letters.Of coures, I did make the picture up, but not the text. "
13 Nov 2003	Cat Bowen	Loading... Very interesting...It looks very much like a mural. Coen de Moor replies: "That is what I wanted it to look like. Thank you."
13 Jan 2004	Gelfling	Loading... You do not know how much i love this picture and it is impossible for me to describe - it is wonderful. It is beautiful, it brings back memories of a forgotten time - keep up with the excellent work be yourself and keep living
17 Jun 2008	Laura	Loading... Wow! That’s almost the only thing i can say. Keep going and come with more great stuff!
