Description
So here you have it! My first finnished painting in a looooong time x3I'm quite happy with how it came out, feeling that some of my handeling of watercolours are comming back! I left the background fairly simple, giving Haze a more distinct place in the spotlight. I'm feeling more andm ore comfortable with my Naronian army armor, having the color scheme all set and done.
And yes, not really in focus but here's the first view of the official Naronian army's banner with the two black dragons on golder background.
This is an intro picture made for the next chapter of my comic Droran, a chapter by the name of Thornlance. (No spoilers x3)

I don't know where to start: the armour is simply amazing. The attention to details make this Masterpiece a true gem for eyes, the pose of main protagonist, the background that despite its apparent simple look is awesome for the effort put into colouring it. WONDERFUL JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you so much!^^
I do really like how this one came out, therefor I've let this stay as a representation of my art at the moment. Armor, weapons and historical references are huge interests of mine. There's nothing more boring than a high fantasy clonker suit, that can't be worn in real life without killing the one wearing it.Β
I kept the background simple, mostly because I were tired at that point, but I think it divided the focus rather plesantly :3
Thanks again!^^

Beautiful watercolor work! And all that detail! Gorgeous! -- Β It's like Avatar the Last Airbender meets Redwall.

Wow!! That's really high praise!
Last airbender is one of my absolute favorite stories and serie ever! And Redwall is something that I've been thinking of reading for a loooooong time.. Much for inspiration on how to write this story. Thank you so so much! ^^

Considering your gallery and how much you like furries, I'm surprised you haven't read Redwall. An excellent book! And, I'm sure, an excellent series! (i've actually only read the first one) And you're right, Brian Jacques is a good author to study for inspiration on that sort of thing. Plus, he's really fun in the way he writes out character accents. If you get his books on tape, he's the one to read the narration (though they have different actors do the different character parts) and you can tell he really get into it. I just adore him as an author.Β

Really gotta get into it then^^ You think they can be found at audible?

I wouldn't be surprised. I found the digital audio file through my local library system. I'm old school like that I guess.

I've just realized it looks like The Skyrim Guards armor, mixed up with Japanese and Roman armors.

My first design of this armor came well before skyrim, but it's true that I've taken quite alot of inspiration from both roman, japanese, chinese and persian military equipment.

Been meaning to come back and comment on this.
Just wow. Such a delicate, deliberate use of color that doesn't sacrifice any of that stunning ink detail. Seriously beautiful, man!
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm actually not using ink :3Β
I'm doing a finnishing linework with a gentle hand and a small brush. The lines here are a very concentrated dark blue.
And serious thanks, my friend!^^Β

Aah! That makes sense. It looked so unified with the blue tint in the atmosphere.

So you think it works? Was sort of an experiment x3

I'd call it a grand success!

Good to see it on somebody. It does make it easier to guess how the
armor fits for different combat styles... now that we have arms to it.
The classic sword shield combination is probably good off with this
armor, since it's light armor with a lot of freedom for arm-movement.

Pretty much - as usual - an accurate analysis. Other practical functions with the armor is that it keeps your back supported during long marches with lots of heavy gear and necessities. It's also made so that you can take a pee while marching x3 Or should I say, the tunic is. Random fact x3....

Like an artificial bladder in a space suit? Not a bad idea,
since it saves time and is probably not so bad during
battle, where you can't just go off the battlefield.

More like a lining of soft polished and waxed leather, so that it just runs right down without soaking the cloth. x3Β

I enjoy his armor setup a lot. Β Practical and very aesthetically pleasing. Β The green flags building up to the main figure make an excellent background too. Β Well done!
π: 0 β©: 1
Well x3.... this points out one of the major problems with this picture. A problem that I didn't even realize until now....Β
The flags are supposed to be yellow, with a somewhat transparent fabric. That of course makes them look a bit green x3
I'm glad you like the armor design :3
π: 0 β©: 1
Haha well that's okay. Β I thought it was a pretty unique green color to use as a major focal point of the picture. Β Either way it works very well. Β
