 My fantasized/demonized take on the Order of the Teutonic Knights.  These were some bad guys, who terrorized Lithuanian and Polish lands during the early 1400s.  Devils, who fought in the name of God.

Greethings from Poland!

:-) Christopher Reach replies: "Wow that is really cool! Must have taken a while with all those feathers, it was worth it though. And thank you for the comment!"

There is a message there.
The helmet is truly menacing. I don’t think colour is really needed here. The details and textures on his armor,cape,mace
and even the landscape are so picked out in the subtle shading. You can almost hear this guy calling forth his troops.

:-) Christopher Reach replies: "Thanks for the comment! Historical accuracy was thrown out the window here but you’re right its more about the idea of facing one of these guys, and the spirit of the time, rather than a literal interpretation."

:-) Christopher Reach replies: "That it is... wow.. its been half a year since I’ve logged in. If you’re still around and can still send the link I would love to see your drawing!"

Nah, Teutonic Knights weren’t that bad. They likely had their vices like any other group - but the people they fought would have had similar vices themselves. But it is certainly easier to just blame others.

But... great drawing. Badass, and intimidating. Very skillfully, and artistically done.

Great work.
But I have to agree with Anon. They brought the christian church by sword ... thats not uncommon in these times (1300).
And they were never reached at their frightening apperance...

A knight does not fight with a scourge. You also forgot his gambeson.
But this is a very beautiful artwork.
