I'm late, but....

The Knight of Swords, done for a group tarot project with @perstephane.bsky.social that will be released....eventually!🤪

But it will be worth the wait...if you saw the Color Tarot Project, you know how gorgeous it was. This will be another stunner when it drops, I am sure of it 😎
A young woman in armor looks over her shoulder, sword in hand, ready to fight. Her one visible eye glows with a golden light. She stands in front of a stained glass sunrise, ready to chase away the darkness.

I hope I haven’t missed this! But any chance to show off what remains one of my proudest designs ⚔️ #KnightShare #KnightArt #miniatures
Render of a knight with a sword and shield with the emblem of a grinning wyvern. The logo beneath reads “Familiar Craftsman Miniatures” with a silhouette matching the emblem. The same night as a handpainted miniature fighting a swarm of armed rabbits in a diorama.

Vortigern bargaining to become a demon knight!

King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword (2017) is criminally underrated and fun as hell, so I've felt compelled to do some drawrings about it.
Illustration by MisterAndoff done in shades of murky green. A man in black armour stands next to a huge old bell on a rock in an underground cave with carved stone stairs and pillars in the background. From the foreground at the bottom of the page, huge tangled tentacles arch through the water towards him.

Hello, I've written a duology which is a lesbian lovestory between a dragon and a knight!!! The first one is called Dragon's Daughter and can be found basically anywhere you buy books! The second one, Dragon's Choice, should be publishing later this year!

Another OC! This is Talfryn, also from my comic „Unchained“. He’s a paladin who did a lot of bad things in the past and is now trying to do better. We’ll see when I get around to drawing more about him :D

I have a story about a knight in this anthology, and given the theme I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Knight Captain Jupiter. The Galilean moons are his highest ranking knights!

Nina is a cyborg knight!

Farys and Jonah are paladins! (Details are WIP)

Percy, Jinn, and Esmonde are imperial soldiers. Jinn is a dark knight, Esmonde is almost a knight, Percy has a long way to go!

#OC #OCSky #art
A full body of the knight captain Jupiter. Beside him are side profile pictures of Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. Compiled pictures of Nina; artwork from 2018, and miscellaneous sketches from different years. Character portraits of Farys (blue with white hair) and Jonah (green with strawberry blonde hair). They also have full body pictures of themselves. Jonah is a tikbalang, so he also has a full body picture of him sitting on the grass in that form! Full body pictures of Percy (green with blonde hair) and Jinn (dark blue with brown hair). Beside them is a character portrait of Esmonde (red with black hair), their friend!

Lancelot and Galehaut again, since I figured I should also participate in sharing knight art 💖 Excited for this zine! :D
Sir Lancelot and Sir Galehaut in a cozy embrace. They're wearing mostly chain mail with a few armor embellishments. Lancelot looks exactly like you might expect a man who was raised by fairies under a lake to look -- which is to say, a handsome, blue-haired weirdo. Galehaut would be the more normal-looking one if he wasn't also a half-giant. Good for these two incredibly normal men.

Another look at my cleric, Nea!

On a white background, the poster's original character is poised and ready for battle. She is a water-based humanoid and a cleric, with teal skin and golden armor. Her hair is pastel pink and she has a scar down her throat in pink galaxy swirls. Her skirt has tendrils hanging from it to give the appearance of a jellyfish. She wields a golden staff.

My beetle... please behold my beetle
Drawing of a knight with beetle-inspired armor and weapons. Drawing of a man in spiky but glossy armor, reminiscent of a beetle's shiny shell. His face is hidden under a helmet save for the mouth. He has 4 arms and is holding up a sword with a jagged edge.

T'is a drawing from a few years ago.
Eseguno the Jester Knight. A strange, tall, strong creature not beholden to a biological sex.
She travels the lands as a knight-errant or mercenary, acting as performer and fighter alike. Right from a young age Eseguno enjoyed the performances and was quick--
