It seems illustrators, like deviantART user theDURRRRIAN, are still not over The Avengers as they continue to produce impressive works of art inspired by the ragtag team of Marvel superheroes. Differentiating himself from the rest, however, theDURRRRIAN has envisioned the likes of Thor, Iron Man, Captain America, Black Widow, Hawkeye and more as they'd look in the medieval period. The resulting images feature armor-clad badasses with designs that actually look a lot better than their originals.
Not much information is available about theDURRRRIAN, though he does let visitors to his deviantART page know that he's based in Malaysia. His impressive and highly technical rendering skills would suggest that he works as a concept artist. His digital paintings often feature fantasy characters and scenarios, and if you haven't guessed it, theDURRRRIAN took his name from the spiky Asian fruit.
