ENDYSIS ♞❄️ The Last Winter Knight ❄️ @endysis.bsky.social · Jul 10

You wake up as a ghost, with no memory of who you were or how you died. The only clue to your past is the empty suit of armour you now possess. ⚔️

The Last Winter Knight is a Gothic visual novel about love, loss & putting the ghosts of the past to rest. ❄️

Cover art for The Last Winter Knight. A girl with white hair clutching a flax flower is at the foreground. Behind her are two figures armed with swords standing back to back. At the very back is a helmeted knight.

A screenshot of a knight in front of a stone wall, viewed from the side. Their helm is bent forward.

A screenshot of a library with shelves, a painting on the wall, a desk and a candelabra. The Nameless Knight's sprite is on the side of the screen and the text box reads: "...I have absolutely no desire to dig through tax documents right now."

A screenshot of a painting in a frame that depicts a woman with a bird perched on her arm. Her face is cropped out of view. The text reads: "A painting hangs above the hearth, flaking and aged, its ornate frame tarnished with time."

Hi #PortfolioDay ! I am a fantasy illustrator who especially enjoys working in grayscale and limited color palettes. I do portrait commissions and am looking to take more illustrative work as well!

grayscale digital portrait of a character wearing a mask of black wings covered in eyes, wearing a dark cloak and a sheer cravat, with long wavy hair. The background is like a spotlight centered n the character's face

A black and white portrait of a woman in a fancy dress. The portrait is in a fancy frame. The top corner is covered in shadow and blood stains.

A young woman holds a candle while looking up at a multi-eyed, toothy creature. She gently pets it.

Illustration of The Ghost from Draculesti lifting the helmet off of the Nameless Knight from The Last Winter Knight. Red flower petals swirl around them and fall out of the knight's helmet.

look at how pretty the game is though seriously ;;v;; 🌟🖤

"They trotted along behind the main party, she on a chestnut stallion, he on a white mare." Screenshot of two figures on horseback silhouetted in a forest.

"She leant her head against the crook of his neck and closed her eyes, the way she had when they were children. His soft hair fell over her cheek and trailed down the collar of her blood-red riding habit."

Two figures in a storybook illustrated art style against a starry background. One a long-haired boy in grey, the other a girl in red leaning against him.

"The magic of the woods had run dry; the boughs no longer sheltered them with their sanctuary." Screenshot of a starry background with a half moon in the sky.

"He held her head against his chest. Strands of his hair fell once more over her cheek." Close up shot of a figure's arm holding another figure in a hug.

The first part of chapter two is also up for sentinels! This update isn't as meaty as I'd like but still gives a good chunk to play through and finally introduces you to the other characters!

reasons why i take so long to make soundtracks:

1. "that was fine but I could do another take to get it perfect" (does this 5 - 17 more times)

2. it needs musical storytelling that 99% of people listening aren't going to notice
