Seeking art

[brynndragon]

I have been inspired to get for myself some artwork of the only female paladin that ever graced this earth[1], Joan of Arc. Finding such is proving to be surprisingly difficult - I'd be perfectly satisfied with a simple poster, but I haven't found any artwork that is really appealing as of yet other than this Wikipedia image which started my search (I blame finding_rowan). I really want the image to be of her in armor (by which I mean real armor, not chainmail-bikini crap; thankfully almost all of the images of her in armor are not prey to that sort of stupidity) being all knightly and stuff. If you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them.

[1] AFAIK; if there are others, please let me know. Also some people argue that she was really a genetic male with testicular feminization but frankly her breasts just don't seem large enough.

Hm. Would Boudicca count? Or am I broadening 'paladin' too much?

[brewergnome.livejournal.com]

No good suggestions.

I did find this

Though, which is kinda cool.

You're probably more likely to find something searching for the french version of her name (Jeanne d'Arc) than the english version, especially since she's the patron saint of France.

I don't know quite what you're looking for, but here are the ones that caught my eye...

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Portrait_jeanne_d'arc.jpg (not quite my thing, but still nice-ish)

http://historymedren.about.com/od/picturegalleries/ig/Joan-of-Arc-Picture-Gallery/index.htm - a small gallery of images

http://www.vialin.com/jeannelapucelle/jeanneinarmor1612.html - I rather like this one, actually

http://www.columbia.edu/cu/record/23/17/26c.gif - a bit fanciful, but not horrible

http://www.jehanne-darc.com/ - I like the front image, but no armor, per se. The content of the site is slightly strange, though..

That's all I've got, so far. Hopefully not all of them were repetitions of what you've already found. :)

Made me laugh.
A 3d tutorial. I think I did this one, actually.. years ago.
