A few of my screenshots from Sands of Faith, a Kingdom of Heaven-inspired total conversion mod for Mount&Blade: Warband. Currently playing as King Baldwin IV in the Kingdom of Jerusalem faction and totally ignoring the fact there's no possible way he could have engaged in physical battle in 1185 (when the mod is set), but that's part of what makes it so much fun. You can customize his appearance in chargen, but, due to the game's graphics, even with texture enhancements and my best efforts he kinda looks like a potato. So we're keeping the mask on, lol.

Baldwin IV, the... Gamer King?

Something I've found interesting - and rather surprising, tbh - is the increasing number of games and game concepts in which Baldwin IV features, and not simply as inspiration for the characters' designs, but as himself.

Here's how many places I've found him and the accompanying artwork of him (all very obviously inspired by - you guessed it - Kingdom of Heaven)

==================

First, the actual games...

1) Evony: The King's Return

This article from One Chilled Gamer gives the details on his statistics.

2) Blood of Steel

You can find the details in this news announcement on the game's Steam hub.

3) European War 7: Medieval

It's a little harder to find information on this one, but there's a discussion thread here on him.

==================

Baldwin also makes an appearance in the mods for several games, including...

Sid Meier's Civilization V

This mod adds the Kingdom of Jerusalem as a civilization to the game, with Baldwin IV as its leader. There's info on him on this wiki page, including his war and peace themes ("The Holy Land" and "Siege of Kerak" from Crusader Kings 2, respectively.)

Sid Meier's Civilization VI

This mod also adds the Kingdom of Jerusalem into the next game of the series, again with Baldwin IV as its leader.

Crusader Kings III

This mod overhauls CK3 to allow the player to assume the role of any leader present in Kingdom of Heaven (as well as their contemporaries around Europe and Asia), including Baldwin IV - although you won't get to play as him for very long before his death.

==================

Finally, I've found some concept-style art of Baldwin floating around out there, too, although I'm not certain they are for an actual game or simply intended for a potential game if they happen to grab a developer's interest.

This one is by ShawnFox on Artstation:

And this one is by XuanHan Chen, also on Artstation:

==================

This is all I've personally been able to find so far, but there's probably more out there I've missed. If anyone has run across any other game-related art of Baldwin IV, please share!

16 year old King Baldwin IV about Saladin probably. You can't convince me that this teenager didn't atleast have some mood swings and sass around that time.

I started this piece back in September 2017 and for some reason it sat on my PC in a near-finished state for over a year until I recently managed to pull myself together and finish it. The idea for this painting came to me when I was taking a bath and listening to Hedningarna, a folk band that I’ve known a long time. They used to have two female Finnish vocalists whose singing has this sort of ancient and witchy quality and I tried to capture a glimpse of the world that opens in my mind whenever I listen to their songs.

Mephisto (1895) by Edouard von Grützner (German, 1846-1925). Also known as Mephistopheles. A cunning demon. First appeared in the Faust legend - and then in various literature, film, comics and music.

You know, your handwriting looks really uniform, I thought it was typed! I bet you could fined a font program to scribe your letters to, and then you can get your "handwritten" style without killing your hands!

I already do have a couple of fonts in my handwriting, but typing it out doesn't have the organic flow and whimsy which I like about manually writing it.

It doesn't kill my hands per se, but the idea of doing 300+ pages of handwriting and then having to go through copyedits is a chore. And I would know - I had to rewrite all 660 pages of The Carpet Merchant. 😓

The World in Deeper Inspection UPDATE Read: (Chapter 1: Pages 33 to 34)

About the comic

Wuh oh!!! Oh no! Oh damb Grimmers!!

-

Also another big revamp. Unlike the previous spread, this is a revamp towards efficiency. I cut out Grimsley’s dialogue since it’s redundant + kinda spoiling the dramatic sense of danger. 6 panels became 4. I clarified Grimsley’s spring-heeled jackiness* – we all can clearly see now he’s jumping over the wolves and landing behind them (I had trouble conveying this action in 2013, can you believe??).

*Spring-Heeled Jack is one of major influences behind Grimsley as a character!

Over the years I learned that my strength is using very few panels to maximum effect (visually or narratively). This has the side-effect of making my graphic novels too simple to read through since my pages are the opposite of a dense and compressed style, but hey, it works.

Historical proof that Manfred von Richthofen was thicc

So uh I feel like sharing this to the emptiness of the internet but a lot of people described MvR as “chubby” so ill just list those accounts here.

First of all, he himself said he is “as big as a barrel” after gaining some weight in the trenches.

Then apparently Wilhelm II called him chubby when they first met “Sie sehen so dick und munter aus” (You look so chubby and happy). Essentially he called him a heckin’ wholesome chonker. [Edit: Yes, in the text he is talking about a meeting with Ludendorff, however he compares his meeting with Ludendorff with his meeting with Wilhelm II.]

Third is that apparently a family friend saw this picture and said “Das ist aber ein Moppelchen” (Moppelchen ist kind of a cutesy word for a chubby person) And my source is “trust me bro” because someone I trust a lot told me lmao.
