Nice work. Even if just sourced, would you be interested of doing that for icons in my game?
I am looking for this specific style and more specifically real or close to real illustrations for stuff like buildings.
Of course I would pay you for this.

Thanks for the interest, unfortunately I'm currently packed out and can't fit another project into my schedule.
The Icons might be a bit tough, but I recommend looking through the
Bodleian Library's & British Library's collections (or a half dozen other similar European collections) as a starting place. For this set, I pulled the high quality scans and then traced them in Krita (which is free).
You can also use Krita to illustrate them as well, if you'd like to give it a shot.
I didn't have particular time range, the style was popular from 1000s-early 1600s. I just searched for "illuminated manuscript" and"marginalia" (the doodles on the edges of pages by bored monks), and then used the library references to find scans in public collections to flips through until I found one I liked.
I didn't search much outside of English (a bit of Google translated Dutch I think), so if you're in Bavaria you probably have more access than I did. it might be worth finding out the equivalent terms in german and to search any state or public collections that have been scanned.
For animations, I just went with a monty python / south park style where I just transformed the whole layer. Depending on the game it might work for you
You can do color filters to try to unify the colors of different assets too (there are a lot of yt tutorials)
