LIPS, MIND, HEART. KNIGHTS, VIOLENCE. CONVICTION.

some. kind of idea. I might try and tackle next year. tragically, I need to do research on the medieval economy lmao

the first knight is the youngest of the pair, eager for war glory. the priest is thinking of murdering him on his return. the eldest brother is thinking of deserting the army en route for a coastal fishing village where no one will know his name.

the statue with all the swords is our lady of sorrows, traditionally fashioned with seven swords. I've decided to do three on each side and the seventh held in front instead of the usual 3 on one side and 4 on the other split I see so that it matches that other panel's sword/hand position :)))

#generic medieval tag #komiks tag #for the non catholics and the 'i forgot everything in sunday school' crowd: lips/mind/heart = sign of the cross #anyway more importantly. knights and religion and war violence do not exist independently of each other. blood on EVERYONE'S hands #the poetic chivalric knight is still part of the same structure that the historical knights were etc etc. and that's interesting!#fun interdisciplinary dialogue or whatever. much to chew on
