👑 King Baldwin IV of Jerusalem ✨

Finally, this monstrosity of a piece is done! 😅

I've been working on this off-and-on since February, probably the longest I've spent on any one piece, and I hope it shows.

This is my little tribute art to King Baldwin IV of Jerusalem as he is portrayed in the movie Kingdom of Heaven by Edward Norton.

He is accompanied by a peacock, a symbol of both early Christianity and of royalty, its white color representative of unique splendor. Alongside are bunches of white damask roses, also symbolic of Christianity as well as part of traditional medicine for skin conditions, among other ailments - appropriate, imo, for the illness that gave him the moniker "The Leper King".

The Latin text around the border, inspired by his real life royal seal, reads "Balduinus IV - By the Grace of God - King of Jerusalem".

My toxic trait is obsessing and fan girling over random historical people as if they were fictional characters and not real people at one point (I’m 839 years late) 💔

Anyways all I have rn is some silly doodles

About this little guy... I'm currently on the waitlist for a new ao3 account dedicated to Baldwin alone (because I'm so normal about him), and I'm not predicted to get invited until July 16 :'} I'm still working diligently on the fic, though!! It WILL be unleashed into the world no matter how long ao3 takes ;]

I just started a fic today about Baldwin accidentally traveling to the future and running into all sorts of shenanigans :} I'm not sure when it'll be finished, but he's already been snatched up by the government...

I’m not over the way Baldwin got off his horse

HELLO??? YOU ATE AND LEFT NO CRUMBS?????

In case you needed an endless loop of Baldwin smacking Raynald.

My hero

[It looks better cropped]

I’m always challenging myself in art. This required skills that I haven’t practiced enough so that’s why it looks a bit wonky, but hope you like it anyway! 🗡️

I cry while drawing him lol. He’s a saint imo✨
