Artistic freedom.

That would be Jozef Brandt's Walka o Sztandar Turecki (Battle for the Turkish Standard). It depicts a clash in the Polish-Turkish war of 1672-1676, not Kosovo 1448.

Dunno where to put this... My humble tribute to our favorite, gonna-beat-'em-all, best-of-the-best mod. Turned out to be rather large, so unless you have ginormous screen on your monitor, you'll have to zoom in to actual size to see all the details. If you're interested, that is. Cheers.

May be too late for this as well. But I do happen to have a few particularly higher resolution pictures here about medieval Serbia. I apologize if these have already been posted.

The first three everyone I think knows about. I just uploaded them because they are in much higher resolution than already posted here I think.

The fourth picture illustrates the death of Tsar Uros "The Weak". Obviously here they made it out to be murder but I think the official case was unknown. I also believe this was shortly after the battle of Maritsa where in general alot of information is shrouded.

The fifth picture is the exodus of Serbs into Vojvodina or what was back then the southern lands of Hungary. This may or may not be considered part of our "time frame" but I posted it up anyway just in case.

The sixth picture is "Titus Dugovic" who was supposedly a Serbian knight under John Hunyadi during the Siege of Belgrade in 1456. The story goes that an Ottoman managed to climb on top of one of Belgrade's highest towers and placed the Ottoman flag on it. Knowing how much of a moral effect this may have had on the rest of the defenders, Dugovic ended up tackling the Turk off of the tower and both plunged to their deaths below. Later on a Croatian noble family (I believe) took credit for the hero and after a series of events, many say that the legitamacy of the character Dugovic is now of questionable. Either way it was an interesting story.

The seventh picture is the standard Siege of Belgrade picture in 1456.

The eight picture is once again the battle of Kosovo but with higher resolution.

The ninth picture is again the Kosovo Maiden but with higher resolution.

And finally the tenth picture I personally found to be pretty cool was the fortress of Nis (I initially thought, now I could be completely wrong).

Like I said, these pictures are fairly high resolution, so I will leave it to you guys to crop it if you decide to use any of them.

EDIT: Sorry, after reading the Cyrillic below, the tenth picture is the castle in Uzice.

You know, someone really needs to stand up for the Knights of St.John

Nothing new, just a coloured Caoursin depiction of the 1480 Siege of Rhodes.

That pic is awesome, but could do with a little bit of shrinking)

**Vipman** · December 11, 2012, 04:00 PM

Or put in a spoiler or just a link to the image...

Just some random fictional fan art.

Dude did you do that yourself? That's great! You should have a chat with DobroVece, maybe he can help you with your 2D skills

**DobroVece** · March 20, 2013, 05:37 AM

Or another way around?

+rep
But seriously, you have a PM.

**Son of Serbia** · March 20, 2013, 07:26 AM

Oh, sheet... I knew I should've elaborated it a bit. I did that image, but using this application. It basically offers you various parts, allows you to rotate, resize, move around, combine together and colorize them, and asks for some imagination and tricks to make glints and shades for a more neat overall look. And GIMP for some little catches you're not able to conveniently solve in that app, and for manipulating the logo and CoA, of course. So how do I give rep points back?

I do have some basic skills with GIMP, but they're quite limited.

Edit But hey, glad I've stirred the public forum a bit.

Good to know you're progressing.

Edit2 Oh... Hahah. I knew I spoke of Heromachine somewhere around here before. But I just realized I did that in this very thread. What's more - it's in this page.
