The Amour of Armor. 

Painting originally in an Iranian story-book. 

I thought this was by Jennifer Hom on deviantart. Does she do book illustrations? 

ETA:  Yeah, this is by Jennifer Hom (who is also on tumblr) and who has posted some really fascinating posts on the process of creating this image. So, not from an Iranian story-book. 

yay credit! Thanks for tracking that down, I knew I’d reblogged this from the artist specifically, but I couldn’t find it.

deleting and reblogging this so that it has the proper credit, because the artist is fantastic.
