Teja's canon in illustrations

[yakalskovich]

carolinw put her old illustrated copy of 'Ein Kampf Um Rom' (Teja's canon) on the scanner so I can have icons from canon illustrations. But apart from being icon material, the canon illustrations actually illustrate canon! So beyond making a load of icons, I scaled the scans and stuck them up for all that might be interested, on Teja's character journal, here.

But why is he wearing 15th or 16th century armour? ?:-)

Because the illustrator didn't really have a clue? Same as Adalgoth has to walk about bare-assed in some of those pictures, as tekalynn remarked upon?

The illustrator (unlike us two) had probably never seen blokes move in armour, either. He treats Teja's armour like some sort of clothing in some of the pictures that he moves in completely freely.

Like this one, which is highly stylised; or this one, even more, as it's more detailed. Shiny black clothing, but not armour.

You know what that image of Teja looks like to my decadent early 21st century eye?

Yep - the Ministry!
