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.

No good suggestions.

Though, which is kinda cool.

Wow, that is cool. Particularly how clearly they make the connection between all of these character and Joan of Arc - they all have some variation of "voices in my head" as well as major ass-kicking ability. Which has the unfortunate side effect of depicting strong women as inherently crazy (ala Rambo and other PTSD-burdened male superheroes, but when the pickings are so slim it's a bit disturbing).
