There are so many things wrong with this: namely the grass & Saracen Guy's arms. Please do not bother Saracen Guy's arms; couldn't get them right. (And his hips, too. Come on, Saracen Guy...) Also: this being the time of the Third Crusade, it didn't hit me until I was drawing: Did the Saracens wear this during that time? And would there have been grass?

With the knight, there is "artistic license": his mail mittens are off(which they shouldn't be, unless he did that himself), & he's not wearing his cowl (term?). (He lost his shield & his helm.)

Also don't like how the values don't seem to have gone as dark as would've liked in some places, especially with the grass. Though think this may have been scanned a little too darkly; Saracen Guy looks a lot more silhouetted than in real life.

time: ? a while

3/8 edit: Fixed the knight's eyes (they were kind of going in opposite directions). Or... it ought to look fixed/somewhat better. If not, then... It doesn't.

(note: Third Crusade: 1189-1192. Couer de Lion & Saladin.)
