This weekend, we got dumped on with snow. Of my 25 years living in southeast Tennessee, I have never encountered so much snow. About 10" of snow. The temperature in approaching zero degrees F didn't help. Houses around here are not build for this sort of weather.
The wife and I watched a lot of TV, but you can only watch so much. So, I retreated to the "soldier room" as it is called by my kids. I did start working on some more ships, but I ended up painting some fantasy figures
My fantasy world is occupied by a number of holy orders. One of which is the Knights of the Holy Chalice. I wanted to make a pseudo-religious, icon-ish banner to lead the faithful into battle. Gemini AI to the rescue!

I played around with different poses and styles and settled on a sort of Bayeux tapestry look. I thought about giving the ladies halos, but I thought it might be too sacrilegious. I printed them off in various sizes on my school's color laser printer and later did a little touch up with paint to bring out some of the features like the cup and the faces. If I could do it again, I'd make the bottom a little longer below the feet. I have to say that its not too shabby.
