Looks more like RPG Avengers

[–]TalekAetem 403 points404 points ago

Or Guild Wars 2

[–]lightow 53 points54 points ago

It does indeed look like some of Kekai Kotaki's artwork.

That Black Widow even reminds me of Eir Stegalkin.

[–]cairneyouhearme 18 points19 points ago

Another of Eir Stegalkin. She's the only reason anyone needs to play through the Norn side.

[–]lightow 10 points11 points ago

Agreed, the Charr and Human starting zones interested me more than the Norn.

[–]troll_dude 35 points36 points ago

Hulk look a lil under powered, but Thor & Capt America is just WOW!!!

[–]rnb673 14 points15 points ago

I agree. Hulk should be a lot bigger, but otherwise these are great!!

[–]Randamba 21 points22 points ago

I don't like how Captain America's indestructible shield is chipped and cracked. It should have just had a coat of arms, since america didn't exist in medieval times, and some dirt.

Edit: I know the shield could have been designed like that prior to USA being a thing, I just believe the likelihood of it having that design rather than something related to the medieval country he was originating from is pretty low. Especially since the shield design isn't arbitrary in the comics, it is based on our flag. Therefore I believe that if he had been alive during a medieval time he would have been different. Like say King Arthur's time, he would have been Sir Camelot, and he would have a Kite Shield with Arthur Pendragon's coat of arms.

[–]Z0idberg_MD 47 points48 points ago

The symbol is a star. There were stars before America. I know, crazy.

[–]boomfarmer 1 point2 points ago

But were there circles? O-o

      I think this is a better picture to show how closely Black Widow resembles Eir from Guild Wars 2.

      A lot of the poses look very similar to Kekai's artwork. Great job.

        They especially look a lot like these images: http://www.guildwars2.com/global/includes/images/wallpapers/GuildWars2_GuardianWallpaper01_1920x1200.jpg

        Looking through the professions page, I think the creator of these was at least inspired by Guild Wars 2: http://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/professions/

        Not a bad thing to be compared to imo ;)

          [–]mutecow 32 points33 points ago

          head artist for gw2 use a pretty uncommon style thats similar to the OP's post. literally 90% of gw2 artwork uses that.

          http://cdnimg.visualizeus.com/thumbs/be/f7/fantasy,guild,wars,concept,art,game-bef74fa7f8a0040002d4274d5b6666ac_h.jpg

          the waterpainting feel, sf4 ish stylized background ink shadows, single color focused images etc are all pretty distinctive. even armor/cloaks design looks a lot like gw's prefered type.

          [–]Scathainn 10 points11 points ago

          His name is Kekai Kotaki and he's one of my favorite artists of recent years.

          kekaiart.com

          [–]silly_pineapple 1 point2 points ago

          SAME HERE! His use of textured brushes is outstanding and very wispy. I love the static scenes he creates. He's definitely one of the more adventurous digital artists these days.

          [–]Crashmo 1 point2 points ago

          Kotaki has been my favorite game concept artist for a while now. Just amazing.

            My first thought was this. I love the art style.

            [–]exteras 1 point2 points ago

            I love how that is so clearly what the original artist was trying to replicate, and you're the first person in this thread to realize it. Apparently the game just isn't that popular yet.

            [–]Anthony0712 1 point2 points ago

            Either way, amazing

                It actually makes perfect sense. They are medieval super heroes, these are their medieval super costumes. They are closer to actual medieval attire than the actual avengers costumes are to anything we wear.

                [–]EyeAmZ 1 point2 points ago

                    You misspelled "Fantasy". Neat stuff though.

                    [–]Xodah 1 point2 points ago

                    Yeah I know this is the "fantasy" version because I saw Joss Whedon's documentary The Avengers.

                    [–]DrDragun -1 points0 points ago

                    I'm surprised people have a problem with this being called medieval. "Fantasy" can mean steampunk era or post-apocalyptic future in addition to the usual sword-and-sorcery. "RPG" which the other comment suggested could obviously be different time periods too.

                    You want to say a time period dominated by steel plate armor and swords. I think "medieval" is ok.

                    [–]DFGdanger 124 points125 points ago

                    "Medieval" implies a period of earth's history (nonfiction).

                    [–]2bananasforbreakfast 80 points81 points ago

                    You can make medieval style avenger characters, but this is not it.

                    [–]JaronK 2 points3 points ago

                    And in fact they did. Marvel 1602 had Nick Fury in it, for example, as well as Black Widow. But they looked historically reasonable.

                      considering that we're dealing with the avengers, though, if they existed in medieval times it's possible they would have some magical elements.

                      That said, the purple energy on Hawkeye is entirely misplaced because he's just good with a bow. Which supports to argument against labeling this as "medieval"

                      [–]ndchristie 6 points7 points ago

                      None of them are wearing anything remotely similar to what was common or even possible to craft in the medieval world. That makes it rather pure fantasy, I'd say.

                      "medieval" to me would probably have

                      • Iron Man in full harness, milanese and probably highly ornate (inlaid, grisailled and lacquered) with a heavy, visored helmet and a large, roughly cut jewel over his heart, probably on a golden and similarly jeweled chain.

                      • Bruce Banner depicted likely as a clerk or scribe, his monstrous form in contrast to the humble image he cut as a 'normal' man (i.e. no straps or skulls or any of that, but maybe a tattered tunic and hose).

                      • Captain America mostly stripped, covered head to toe with woad dye and carrying a round celtic or viking shield - managing to appear archaic even in medieval times. Perhaps he was frozen after battling the Huns? (Or is that starting to get racist?)

                      • Black Widow - veiled and in funeral garb, but lightweight and more for the purposes of hiding her movements than hindering them. Possibly some Gypsy influence throughout, but still decidedly black.

                      • Hawkeye - a yeoman, something not unlike robin hood, but trading Lincoln Green for black, violet and blue checks - left over from his circus days, but also somewhat effective camouflage, particularly by moonlight.

                      • Thor and Loki would just be...Thor and Loki. There are already countless medieval depictions of both to work from. Perhaps tending towards the more fanciful, but nonetheless working directly with the source material. The Hulk actually could probably have a certain amount of Jotun in his design, to note the particular antagonism.

                      • Nick Fury - Othello with an eye patch. Done and done.

                      • and um....wait, am i done? i guess i am, but it doesn't feel like it.

                      [–]AdonisChrist 2 points3 points ago

                      well your first line makes sense to me. I'll throw my support in with fantasy.

                      I'm still going to respond to your other points, though.

                      • Iron man - His armor being somewhat more advanced than would be typical of the time would make sense given Tony Stark's character and/or the suit's relation to typical weapons/armor technology in its own timeline.

                      • Yeah I don't like seeing the hulk clothed.

                      • I can go for the archaicness of the Captain.

                      • okay.

                      • Hawkeye'll likely also have a custom bow and quiver, but of the sort that a cunning mind could devise with widely available tools/materials. and probably a skilled smith (for parts).

                      • Yup.

                      • Sure. he's boring anyways.

                      • yeah, cool beans.

                          But medieval doesn't truly even mean steel plate. It's s time period roughly between 1000 and 1500 where most things were still Shitty.

                          That said. Fantasy Renaissance.

                          [–]The_Neon_Knight 21 points22 points ago

                          You're off by half a millenium. The middle ages encompassed the 5th (Roman Empire collapse) to the 15th centuries.

                          [–]ENKC 21 points22 points ago

                          You say that as though it's widely accepted, which it certainly isn't. Some would argue the medieval period began with Charlemagne, for example.

                          [–]Xardolan 18 points19 points ago

                          While you are right, the most commonly accepted notion actually is 500 to 1500, just because these are clear simplistic borders.

                          It's still highly debatable and artificial since... I mean... people don't happen to wake up and say "Oh my, this sure feels like the Middle Ages". And since it depends so highly on what factors you consider important e.g. political, cultural, religious [etc.] events, the most common denominator is 500 to 1500.

                          [–]toastymow 2 points3 points ago

                          I always considered everything between the Romans and Charlemagne to be the Dark Ages, but maybe I'm splitting hairs here.

                          [–]montrevux 1 point2 points ago

                          Historians don't like to use that name because it is fairly eurocentric.

                            I was of the opinion -coming out of my Middle Ages overview class- that the period started with the last century or so of the Roman Empire being meaningful in any way. So yea, around the 5th century.

                            [–]ENKC 1 point2 points ago

                            Some would argue that the period post the fall of the Rome was the dark ages and that the middle ages began some centuries after that.

                            The point is, there's no hard and fast definition.

                                            Artwork has more bare skin than Scarlet Johansson did in the movie. Still, better than most female medieval fantasy "armor"...

                                            Not to mention the proportions are completely weird, like the artist doesn't really know how to draw women. Look at where her breasts are and where her neck starts-- that's an awful lot of space between the two.

                                            Yeah, but it's only exposing the skin above her heart. It's not like that a vulnerable area or anything... :D

                                            That is a secondary concern to "amount of visible tit jiggle"

                                              This looks influenced by the new Guild Wars 2 art. Not saying it's a bad thing. This is made of all kinds of awesome :3

                                                  I'm not sure whether this needs to be said but THOR IS ALREADY MEDIEVAL, MAN. IT'S KIND OF HIS THING.

                                                  If we agree that Medieval is a synonym for the Middle Ages, then the Norse Mythology of the Vikings are of the Medieval era. Middle Ages are 5th-15th Centuries, Viking Era are 8th-11th Centuries (early Middle Ages).

                                                  8-11 out of 5-15 seems like middle middle ages, rather than early middle ages.

                                                  11th is starting to stretch it a bit. By that time they were beginning to convert to Christianity, and the Nordic "Viking" culture was starting to fade.

                                                    Although he is of an advanced civilization, and wears high-tech armor. The artist made him look old school viking, which is kind of awesome.

                                                    No he doesn't looks "old school viking". Vikings wore wool and/or simple armor, had no horns or thornes on their helmets and the didn't wore capes. The Thor in the comics is far from beeing "old school viking"!

                                                        Yeah, I came here to say that the facial anatomy is REALLY off on any of the drawings with a face showing, and proportions are definitely severely out of whack (tiny heads, huge bodies, tiny hands). Color and stroke are interesting, but fundamentals are really lacking.

                                                        Captain America: would be from the Hohokam region, due to the technology and cultural impact they had at the time. I could make him knight of the dying Crusades since the symbology fits, but fuck you I want to draw Captain of the Old America.

                                                        Hawkeye: is English due to the excellent history of archery England has.

                                                        Iron Man: ...or Antonio Assoluto, a Venetian trader whose family specialised in glass making, and dabbles with early Renaissance like thinking and inventions. I am actually tempted to make him a Ming Dynasty lord/inventor due to the better technology that region had at the time. Gunpowder and explosions!

                                                        Thor: Is still a God, but dresses and mirrors medieval Scandinavian tradition, at odds with the Christianity that flourishes in his strongest place of worship

                                                        Loki: As above, but far far more in keeping to the lore of him then the version he is presented in both comic and film format.

                                                        Hulk: Is based on the myth and legend of a mixture of European beastmen, or wude-wāsa.

                                                        Black Widow: is an early Russian orthodox woman, loosely based on Sophia Palaiologina.

                                                        Nick Fury: Is a Moorish Saracen, a wanderer well travelled and used to war.

                                                        ...no clue how the fuck these people are all meant to be in one place BUT I'LL THINK OF SOMETHING

                                                        I believe what you are looking for is fantasy and the concept of suspense of belief.

                                                        yeah, I mean-- at a pinch Loki/Thor can discover this version of Captain America due to Vikings exploring America at that time and Nick Fury can discover the rest, but. I'll think I'll just draw them and smarter people then me good at piecing together puzzles can come up with a story why they're in one place.

                                                        ...or ::waves hands:: a wizard did it.

                                                                  [–]Laura_Raptor 1 point2 points ago

                                                                  [–]madman24k 2 points3 points ago

                                                                  [–]iamaravis 1 point2 points ago

                                                                  [–]Sullyismyname 1 point2 points ago

                                                                  [–]Phoequinox 1 point2 points ago

                                                                  [–]warmpita 1 point2 points ago

                                                                  [–]nukefudge 2 points3 points ago

                                                                  [–]oteren 3 points4 points ago

                                                                  [–]XZlayeD 1 point2 points ago
