Description "Many thousand years ago there was an Order
The knights used to run through the realms
Breach into the empires of elves
Explore the dragon valeys

They were know by everyone
Some feared their wrath
Many greeted them with open arms
The saviors of a damned world

But war came upon the land
High gods in their infinite indifference
Lesser beings trying to gain power
Mortals suffering their fate

And now, the Order of the Hammer has fallen
Long time ago forgotten
Just a few survived
Chosen for whom themselves battled against

Their spirits corrupted
The very great warriors of virtue
Lurking like shadows of their ancient glory
Holy knights, unholy souls..."


By Laniere Larkan, bard of Vallspring

I'm very proud of this one. Spent a lot of time on the colors, but the final result is very near of what I expected. Tell me what you think.

The poem is based on my own fantasy world, as the drawing itself.

Hey, thanks!
This is a very old piece. I plan on making a new version, using better techniques.

This is really really cool! I stumbled across it and said "wow, nice!"

I can appreciate how the lines are very stylized, but the coloring and shadows really bring depth and surreal life to the picture, as if it's something out of a dream...

heyho! wow this is uber metal, this.

hte hind hooves of the horse looks rather odd but over all there's nothing to fear

i gues you need a little backlighting on the figure as well since there's a light source from behind
