Description My attempt at something different. Usually when people mention knight or paladin, an image of an mounted warrior in spledid shining armour springs to mind, bearing down on evil, armed with a lance. Blonde hair blowing in the wind, proud chin and sharp nose, betraying noble blood.

My version of yea olde fantasy knight, why in the 7 blazes is fantasy almost always centered round medieval Europe? Quite boring.

Yes I watched to much Lion King,


Done in acryllic paint and Pen n ink.

I agree 100% except for the part about too much lion king . all we hearabout is the proud races of europe and asia. we know all about the european knights and the asian samurai but we no almost nothing about medieval africa. I mean i dont even know what the names for its warrior classes are. Though like i said, im well aware of European knights and Asian samurai. this is especially evident in anime. The japanese tend to blend medieval Europe and Asia together into one beautiful master race withoute even thinking of including blacks. People claim that the characters are 100% japanese but i dont ever recall seeing a fair skinned, blonde haired blue eyed jap in my life (naruto). I've had plans on making an african based video game for a few years now. I am currently 17 but I plan to make this game immediately after college to prove my medieval african ancestors as more than just barbarians who have nothing more than spears and loin cloths. If you get the chance, take a look at my gallery and you'll see some concepts that i have. Most of them are but few of them have nothing to do with it, like a drawing of a mayan warrior that i have there.

Wow, thats an aweesome idea and concept! I really really like it! Your art always looks amazing and looks as if it takes a lonnnnng time, yet you must be fast at it, because you whip em out all the time!

He kinda reminds me of Kimarhi Ronso from Final Fantasy X, the big huge blue cat guy,
And I agree with I have never seen anyone use Acrylics like you.

They usually do take a lot of time, but the last couple of things :the jedi one, this one, and the scifi dude with sword and armour (zeus) ones, basiaclly were updated versions of old deviations. I have gotten better at this whole scanning/digital process, so i am updating older stuff, to keep my gallery nice and tight. So normally i finish something every week and half (busy schedule)...

i can see the khimari comparison i think.... (i love them ronso dude's. their accents crack me up....)

nof if only some of the big publishers think the same as you...

catch ya later,

holy shit that's awesome, I love that, the coloring is fantastic, he reminds me of a comic character in Excaliber, I can't remember his name, but it looks like a bad ass version of that character

captainscragg [2003-12-13 14:54:03 +0000 UTC]

Great use of colours to mirror the death of the various animals hund on his body. I really like the way the eyes have been picked out with the white, he gives you a look that tells you he is a real bad ass dude

Imaz2k [2003-12-13 12:27:23 +0000 UTC]

An interesting clash of styles. The lion does look like scar of the lion king. Where as the warrior seems to be from the turok series. Alot of detail has gone into this and it looks great top banana

Thanx, probably beacause I am not connected to the "right" people, or not enough of a forum/comment whore, or because its to niche, who knows. Sometimes stuff I make, that i think suck, gets lotsa attention , and the other way around..

btw way "helped"this piece a bit by visiting the thumbshare forum, so I got lots of comments now.....yay.......

Thanx for the commment, all the positivity made me smile.
