>>49656825
Well, fucknut, that is entirely realistic save for the fact that the sword is a bit thick. If it's the fact that it's a woman with a sword, I'll tell you that in medieval germanic society (of which she is clearly part of) there are plenty of situations where a woman would at least hold a sword. In fact, she's not even armored and clearly isn't using the sword properly. Yeah, I don't like SJW nonsense either, but this is fine, realistic, and sets an interesting scene.

Not necessarily celtic, just germanic in general. You see that kind of garb all over northern europe. And that is only very subtly unusual for a germanic sword. The only innacurate at all thing I see is that I haven't seen a cross-guard quite like that, but it seems pretty accurate overall.

I haven't seen any cloaks like that, but whatever, seems fine.

He's referring to the celtic knot, I think. The red hair probably has something to do with it.

The cross guard is not actually large, I think. I think the idea is supposed to be that the girl is small and the sword looks large in her hands. Classic child hero stuff.

Not necessarily the entire building, though this was sometimes the case, but the pediment (the triangular section below the roofline) and the frieze (band below the pediment), as well as the column capitals would always be painted.

Do an image search for "greek temple painted"; "greek architecture painted"; "roman temple paint" or something like that to give a better idea. Also keep in mind that modern images are largely speculation. A lot of the painted sculpture examples you see are really bad, and I'm sure the originals were more attractive.

Contrary to depictions shown in modern media, the ancient world DID have a color palette beyond black, white, and brown. It can be jarring for modern eyes, but once you get over it, you realize it's much nicer.

>>49659117
I've always wondered why people are so blown away by this revelation.
Why wouldn't people in the past decorate their homes and buildings with color like we do?

>>49659144
They probably dont think about it since they see all the pictures of it being white such as the parthenon and the colloseum.

>>49659144

If anything, it's modern buildings that are bland and colorless. People today live in homes with white walls and brown or black furniture. It's almost unthinkable to paint artwork on the walls, but in the ancient world you were pure plebcore if you lived in a home without murals.

As for modern media depictions, it's a symbolic thing. They want to show that the wold was more ruthless, and less comfortable than the modern day. GRITTIER. And to indicate this GRITTINESS, they need to make everyone wear brown and black. Because that's what GRITTY people do. You can't be GRITTY if you're wearing colorful clothing.

>>49657247
someone explain to me how a grappling lizard works. I get that it climbs up the wall for them with the rope but... did they train the lizard to tie a fucking knot up there too?

>>49659256
>If anything, it's modern buildings that are bland and colorless. People today live in homes with white walls and brown or black furniture. It's almost unthinkable to paint artwork on the walls

I think your sample size may be a bit lacking anon, because my experience disagrees. But then, this is one of those things that's extremely subjective depending on who you spend time with.

>>49659287
I think hes right if you look up any new houses its almost always this bland neutral colour, while most people keep it that way so they dont have to repaint the walls if they have to sell it.

Nigger what? She looks dark age, sure, medieval is way too late for shit like that to be common enough to be realistic.

It's unlikely that in the rare situations where women did bear arms, they had swords, which were symbols of rank.

>>49661843
>medieval is way too late for shit like that to be common enough to be realistic.

Are you kidding me? That's quintessentially early-middle ages right there.

>It's unlikely that in the rare situations where women did bear arms, they had swords, which were symbols of rank.

She's clearly not a warrior on a battlefield or anything. She looks like she just escaped are raid with the family sword or something. I thought it was an interesting prompt. Why does this sad girl with no armor have a sword way too big for her? Is she just being taught or is this an emergency situation? That's an interesting scene, as I said before.

Anyway, even if it's not that, this does not suspend belief to the point that it is illegitimate for a historical looking art thread. I mean, though it's more a late high-medieval thing, it was not extremely uncommon for people to use a sword as a weapon of self defense. Sure they were the weapons of the higher-classes, but who's to say this girl isn't a noble? She's wearing fine patterned clothes with knots and everything.

>>49661994

It's from the comic NORTHLANDERS. It's not one continuous narrative, but a collection of unrelated stories which each last only a few issues. The writing is embarrassing, and the lack of through research is grating to anyone who's studied the time period, but they do have a different artist work on each story, which is very nice. I can't remember much from the story for that pic, tho. And yes, she's just some girl who picked up a sword. She's not supposed to be some warrior-princess or whatever.

>>49662051

Also, everything in that image is perfectly fine as far as historical accuracy goes.

>>49657247

It doesn't look "cartoony" at all. You are an idiot.

>>49659256
Dyed fabric was expensive and dyes were far less stable. A lot of people did use undyed fabric, or fabrics dyed black because black pigment's easy as shit to produce.

>>49662126

Yes, undyed fabric was common for clothing, with frequency of use depending on the time and place. But in movies/tv shows/whatever that take place in "ye olde days" (real world or pseudo-historical fictional world), pretty much everyone is wearing bland clotting, in browns or blacks. Even the rich, who are often wearing some kind of weird dark leather shirts. It's ridiculous.

If we look at medieval Europe as one example, even commoners would own dyed clothing. Exclusively wearing black/brown garments was notable as being something that only monks did. And don't even get me started on the lack of patterned or embroidered clothing. Historically, aesthetic sensibilities have almost always been more vibrant than what is popular today.

>>49656825
Calm your tits. It's a panel from a comic about several centuries of Northmen. The sword lady isn't actually a warrior or anything like a medieval sjw-boogeywoman. She's the dead Thane's daughter, and she's about to execute the idiot who beat her and tried to take over (her father's vassals are holding him for her).

The reason? They're already gonna die because an army of Christians are about to murderfuck them all so they really just want to kill the cuntiest one of them and do something nice for the little lady who was loyal to them first.

>>49659036

Babies have really soft heads and their skulls aren't fully formed when they're born, mainly so they don't get their heads crushed while being born

Anyway if you bind a babies head when it's tiny as the skull plates bind together it will shape the head into strange shapes, it's thought that it was meant to be a socially stratification thing or something intimidate the Hun's enemies

It's apocryphal, so it doesn't. The idea was that a monitor lizard would climb up a certain distance and then just sit there, grasping the wall. Monitor lizards are strong, so you could feasibly rest all your weight on them.

But the main theory is that a guy called Pajeet Monitorlizard was the first person to scale the walls in this siege, which eventually turned into actual monitor lizards supposedly being used to scale the walls.

Original poster here. What >>49663574 and >>49663822 said are correct. What's even more interesting is that because the Huns were so successful, other tribes began emulating it. Maybe there were hoping to be just as successful. Maybe they thought it looked cool. The Germanic tribes that both fled them and fought them did it too. Not nearly as common as it was among the Huns, but enough that we have some evidence for it

Shit is crazy when you think about it. I know one of the cities in the south of France was greatly reduced in population after the fall of the Roman empire and the barbarian invasions.

It's really like an apocalypse scenario

I got a few. It's crazy to think too that after the barbarians burned all the books, ate all the Roman grain, and tore down the last statues that their children would look around and seek to rebuild the very thing their parents destroyed.

They look back on Rome like some magical kingdom. It would be like the world ending tomorrow and our children looking back on things like electricity and phone technology. Roman tech like pumps, fountains, large scale building, and so on were all amazing to them. It really must have been a shitty time to live. Looking at your parents like "what the fuck did you snowniggers do?"

They never really "burned the books, and tore down the statues." Roman civilization was already declining and morphing into something different on its own. The barbarians moved in and took over, and most of the time it wasn't even violent since they WERE the Roman military at that point. It was more of a slow crumbling than a catastrophe.

Meh, I prefer unpainted marble over the garish colors they apprently used.
Marble is a great canvas for light to show off the details of a piece.
Slapping a thick coat of colours on it fells kinda wrong to me.

You know the painted "reproductions" that love seen aren't really accurate representations, right? It wasn't some "thick coat just slapped on"; the painting would have been just as careful and proficient as the sculpting.

Nah, the Germans only really put the official stamp on it, the EMpire had been fracturing for ages before that, for literally dozens of reasons.

And while the decline of the empire kinda took the "top" of civilizatrion, for a lot of towns and villages, life probably didn't change all that much.

>>49669175
Wouldn't it still have been just a few basic colours though?
Anyway, I realize I'm being a bit of a sjizhead, but for me , pure marble will always look better than painted, no matter the skill.
One of the few inaccuracies, I'll gladly accept in "historical" movies, along with all the probably bullshit but fun stuff from Herodotus.

>>49669160
They're three things - first they're an interpretation based on whatever remains of pigments were found on the object and second they probably didn't bother with anicent pigment.

Finally, they were most likely repainted in hues that feel right to a current-day person, which are going to be pretty strong and flashy compared to what folks could economically achieve back in the days.

>>49669160
They probably weren't gunning for subtle effects on statues that were to be placed at quite a distance from their viewers. I mean, late antique portrait got pretty good in its life-likeness, but ancient art generally wasn't too concerned with photo-realism.

So did everyone else, but an axe or a sword, especially by the 900s and 1000s when the vikings were all over europe by trade and even by politics, they would have an equal amount as to the other peoples, and
