Back to my bs with rambling about my own drawings☝️

Who is the ‘knight’? The metal encasing or the man inside? Who is responsible and who is in control?

Personally, I’m fascinated by knight romanticism for two reasons: the visualization of knights in stories and art and the more factual aspects of knighthood. The former usually telling us about modern anxieties and conceptualization of this pinnacle in almost romantic masculinity and latter about…well, history. I’ve always seen Wreg as a man of both of these worlds. He romanticizes knights himself – he easily falls in love with fellow knights and hopes to hold knighthood to high standard but ultimately leaves his title and life behind in face of what being one means. While ‘Knight and Dream’ was on paper a master study, the thought behind the piece was very much of Wreg’s romantic aspects of Knighthood, and it was always meant to go hand in hand with this piece.

Armor: The armour clambering on Wreg’s shoulders is his own. Be it the weight of responsibility, expectations, or past – the weight is heavy burden to carry, especially as it tries to take control in an eternal struggle between man and an ideal. (There’re especially interesting papers on medieval masculinity and the idea of a struggle between body and mind that I relate to Wreg’s character a lot especially as a knight)

Banner: The banner depicts not only Wreg’s own insignia of a growling wolf, but also his family line’s heraldry, and the extensive families as well. While he presents himself as a knight, in and out of armour, he also represents his immediate, extensive family, and ultimately whole lineage with his actions. (His family line wears a wolf with red-tipped tail, while other known lines include purple and golden tail. I also love how banners with both fringe and schwenkel look like so..that’s what they have now.)

Sword: While there’s clear divide between the man and armour, they still share the same body and same decisions. Wreg is a man burdened by myriad of things, and yet he is an active player in his own story. He ultimately holds the sword and has the final decision to give in or make his own path. The sword is sharp enough and as if to test its blade Wreg has cut his other palm.

Knight and the enemy within

[ #art | #ttrpg | #oc ]

knight oc Wreg holding his one-handed sword to his inner thigh, the blade almost ready to puncture the white fabric of his trousers. His outer layers, belt and armor pieces are falling off, and his upper torso is bare. Only half of his face can be seen, looking stern. Background is dark, with illustrated rose thorns and blood drops.

drawing of knight oc Wreg, who's sitting down on a flower field nude. He's drowsy and scratching the back of his head with his other hand while in other holding his hounskull. He's surrounded by flowers, and has stuck some of them into his hair.

It's my birthday so let's do the birthday thing!

If you can, as a little (free) present, it would be really nice if you shared my work.

I'm slowly rebuilding here in bluesky so a bithday boost would help me a lot!

My OC Eliott sitting atop a broken statue that is holding a sword and a quill. There's a crack on the face of the statue, with a skull peeking from underneath. Eliott is reaching for the quill but his other hand hovers over the sword.

An illustration of Kabru from dungeon meshi, surrounded by blue flames that are engulfing his homeland. There's a dark green frame around him with flowers and bloody monster claws, with bright green eyes crowning him.

Gideon Nav and Harrowhark Nonagesimus holding hands and looking at each other. It seems as if Harrow is about to fall and Gideon is catching her. Two spears pierce through their linked hand and the blood pouring from them is dying Harrow's scarf red. It looks like bloody wings.

A doodle of a d&d party, movie poster style. Blue and orange are the main colors, with red and pink accents.

A new addition to the project to illustrated the entire Fellowship of the Ring (and more) from J.R.R. Tolkien's 'The Lord of the Rings' through my love of painting hands. I love the way hands are so expressive, capturing the portrait of the person.
It has been 5 years since the last Middle-earth..
