if you see this, post a Knight!

art @norgad.bsky.social + @theneonmark.bsky.social and i love what they did when drawing my pathfinder PC The Brass Lady and her Knightmare, Latona!

Knightmares are actually from The Frith Chronicles by @gameoverstation.bsky.social

$by norgad a disco elysium style, impressionist dual headshot of The Brass Lady and Latona. The Brass Lady is the catfolk, with horrific scars, a fractured facemask, and a piercing stare. She bears the 7 pointed stars of the aracanist mark, signifying her bond to Latona. Lotana is a Knightmare, a living suit of armor made of shadows. Latona's armor is a brillian brass with a striking dorsal fin on the helm. Knightmares are born when nobles are assassinated and bond with warriors who have pure hearts dedicated to protecting the innocent.$

by norgad
The Brass Lady and Latona have merged to become a single deadly warrior. The Lady is encased in brass armor with silver ornamentation and bears a tower kite shield that has her 7 pointed arcanist star emblazoned on it. She wields a crystaline helix sword dark as night. She crouches over a sigil fashioned after her arcanist mark and uses her knightmare powers to intercept incoming attacks in a web of shadows. She shouts her vows as she uses her powers to save the lives of the innocent: "i shall protect those who cannot protect themselves! I shall save lives so that those i protect go forward to shield others! Let my shield be a roof so those huddled beneath may flourish in strife's absence! I accept that there are those I cannot protect, but I raise my shield despite this!"

Latona, the brass knight, drawn in the style of the Dragon Age tarot cards. her cape is a nebula of stars and she looks contemplatively to the vast gloom of the sky

Long-closed and picked-over businesses.
