This is a series of digital paintings by artist Nate Hallinan (of real-life Smurf fame) reimagining the X-Men as medieval characters. He's already completed Cyclops, Lady Jean Grey, Nightcrawler, Colossus and Beast, and has concepts sketched out for Storm, Wolverine and Lord Xavier. I actually like Cyclops and Jean Grey the best, and that's rare because normally I won't side with Cyclops on account of him being such a prissy pants. True story: one time he got all sassy with me for asking him to use his little laser vision to pop a bag of popcorn. After he refused I was all, 'Come on dude, it's movie night and I'm trying to put the moves on Jean.' And *unbuttoning shirt buttons to reveal chest* that's when he laser-eyed both my nipples off.

Hit the jump for the rest.

Thanks to lilco, Patrick and Dougie snugglie, who agree we should all have a Geekologie meet-up at one of those Medieval Dinner Festivals then storm the set during dessert and joust each other's faces off. Fun!
