First Attempt at Freehand Heraldry (1 Viewer)

[JD1990]

Inspired by some members of this forum, whose painted knights are truly fantastic, I've decided to try my hand at repainting some agincourt recasts. These two are painted as Walter Hungerford, and Jean I Count of Pontheiu.

You are making me want to go out and get some more. It looks good from here.

That's the way to paint "real" heraldry
Forget russian painters presenting heraldry as copy of M Angelo ( they are beautifull but mainly innacurates and pure fantasy )

More: the most parts of the nobles participating at the battle were not rich, they paid themself for their equipment and own men at arms .
The price of a knight armour was very, very high; so some went to battle with armour of their father, or grand father, even grand-grand greatfather, sometime roughly reworked to fit, heraldry colours simply refreshed . Keep painting that way or overcharged .

Best
