Greetings one and all.
Well, after almost 4 months of work, bathroom renovations and other distractions, I FINALLY have something to show for my efforts at the workbench. I painted Pegaso's standard bearer to represent the leader of the first Crusade and the scourge of Jerusalem in 1099, Godfrey de Boullion. I tried my very best to find out what Godfrey's heraldry would have been like in 1099, and this is as close as I think I can get. The Jerusalem cross on the banner my seem a little out of date, but there are some sources that claim Godfrey's family flew a similar banner while fighting with William the Conqueror in 1066, so.... a little historic licence and there we go. In any case, I offer him up for your comments and criticisms.
