A page from a religious book dating from around 1450, found in the digital archives of the Kingdom of Belgium.
Note:
"The Biblia pauperum (Latin for "Paupers' Bible") was a tradition of picture Bibles beginning probably with Ansgar, and a common printed block-book in the later Middle Ages to visualize the typological correspondences between the Old and New Testaments. Unlike a simple "illustrated Bible", where the pictures are subordinated to the text, these Bibles placed the illustration in the centre, with only a brief text or sometimes no text at all. Words spoken by the figures in the miniatures could be written on scrolls coming out of their mouths. To this extent one might see parallels with modern comics."

FYI, I added solid black lines over the original image, which I vectorized using Inkscape.
THE real BIG FIGHT ;-)
Note: I sincerely hope that the MMA fighter on the far right (both literally and figuratively) will suffer a crushing defeat.
Made with cliparts from here... and Inkscape!
As is often the case, when I design clipart, I always love adding extra elements and overloading my creations... sometimes a little too much, actually.
So, I kept working on my remixed alpaca, and here’s how it turned out.
Also, this remix gives me a chance to thank and congratulate @AreYouPrepared for his awesome animal designs—fun and very educational at the same time. It’s great to have another great artist in the Openclipart community.
Note:
- In French, “alpaca” is spelled “alpaga”... hence the pun in the title.
- You've probably noticed that I'm really bad at animal anatomy, because obviously an alpaca doesn't have a horse's tail, let alone hair ;-)
- I didn't take the time to properly organize the SVG file with clean, well-defined layers and groups.
