Here's the article btw. I can't read it cause I'm in America and no longer in university

He skimmed the paper, but one point mentions it might represent the king having a "sting" that he did not use, essentially saying he could inflict punishment but refrained from doing so unnecessarily. He will update me later with more...

Thanks to my friend in a British university, had access to a paper discussing emblems of Louis XII: After his victory of Genoa in 1507, Louis XII stopped using imagery of the Porcupine and starting using Bees.

Oh my god I peeped at the other months and this ENTIRE calendar is just art of Louis XII 😂

Why bees?! Cause like French monarchy and houses have Fleur de lis as an emblem typically. Is this an artistic choice? I'm leaning toward that. But where do the BEES come from?! I need to know why BEES. Someone explain the BEES

UPDATE AGAIN: WE HAVE A NAME
BEE KNIGHT IS LOUIS XII of FRANCE
This makes sense cause of the time period, armor, and the fact the artist is French . However it does not explain the BEES

UPDATE: WE HAVE A TRANSLATION!!
"Rex non utitur aculeo, the king does not sting."
BEE KNIGHT IS ACTUALLY A KING BEE KNIGHT.
"The king does not sting" is so interesting cause these guys are clearly going off to war but it's describing a benevolent king.
This is very inline with high medieval chivalry

I'm absolutely fascinated by this Bee Knight and I hope a medieval expert explains Bee Knight to me

Clearly the artist wanted to highlight this making him front and center. The detail in this is incredible too.
The bee Knight also has some sort of mantra in Latin at the hem of all the fabric. Unfortunately I don't have the skills to translate it, though I would love to have it translated

He's got BEEs
The pattern on him are bees and he has little bee hives as an emblem or coat of arms. I've never seen that. And the other knights in the background don't have bees or this get up clearly. There's something special about the bee Knight.

Okay so I think this is really interesting. My dad got my this little medieval art calendar (it's of an artist I forget cause I looked him up) but look at the knight featured:

semi-unfinished digital painting of Vampire Hunter D.

my magnum opus <3

Except it's written in the style of Shakespeare. And filmed with Australian actors in Australia. AND the time period is the 1990s. It'd be colorful and outlandish in the spirit of the medieval period

Okay y'all I have a terrible hear me out, but hear me out. It's one of those "so bad it's good" kinda things. Okay imagine: an epic retelling of the Tales/Legend of King Arthur and knights of the round table:

I think it's very weird when someone tries to have a conversation with you in the bathroom stall. Like excuse me, I have IBS, I'm fighting for my life on the toilet here, I'd rather not tell you about how comfortable my boots are and I don't care if they seem odd to you. Let me poop in peace

Bf: I just figured out an incredible DND class build for a path of giants blade singer —
Me: Not now babe, I am trying to listen to this medieval fart joke

—because all of modern history glorifies the Roman Empire so much. But the amount of civil wars, grudges, uprisings, overthrows and seizures of power, traitors, sabotages, misery in the ranks, disdain among citizens there was I'm pretty sure the ancient Romans would think we're crazy

My focus on history is the medieval period which begins with the collapse of the Roman empire. Lately I've found myself doing more Roman Empire learning, and I have come to realize society during the Roman Empire really hated the Roman Empire, which is hilarious to me— (1/2?)

This is a cry for help, like damn bitch I really live like this?!!

I have like 30 paper pads and sketchbooks. Only one is filled 100%. One is 3/4. Two 1/2. The rest either are completely empty or have a sketch. Only one completed piece has a background.

I was going through all my sketchbooks desperately trying to find something I could turn into a print I could sell and I was delighted to see some pretty cool designs and stuff but my god nothing is finished. It's just sketches and a handful are partially inked.
