Description
Had a hard time with this one but since I consider the armor to have potential, in the future I would like to paint all knights of Gwyn with my own take on the armor.Cheers!

HE DOESN'T HAVE HIS BROKEN ARM!Β
I don't know why, but I love that part so goddamn much.

At the time I guess I thought that it wasn't grimdark enough,
but thinking about it now, the pain of having to bring a whole,
battered arm especially while in a high-octane fight seems pretty
brutal.

True, I can see how that'd be more brutal. I still love the way you went with it nonetheless.

Most of them were on their way to becoming zombies anyway

I just realized something that I really appreciate here.
He didn't skip Leg Day in this version.

Well now he can run that fast all he wants.

Now all the others don't have to make fun of him. Imagine thatΒ
Artorias: "Hey there Captain 'Fabulous hair'."
Ciaran: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!!
Ornstein: "You still skipping leg day Wolf Boy?"
Gough&Smough: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!!
The four knights of Gwyn aren't the most functional group.

Imagine you would meet him in this state, but he would still move as fast as always, just in a more cracking and scary way.
I'm sure that many would refuse to fight that !!!

Yeah, just like something out of The Grudge.

If the Abyss will not take you... then I will... (You thrust your hands into the earth and rip out a great axe made of stone.) Never trust Manus to do aΒ cuspidis work. (Artorias stabs his sword into the ground and screaming at you as he embraces the Abyss's power.) *hollowed scream*Β I will take good care of Ciaran... (You lift your great axe and point it at Artorias.)Β In your... unfortunate absence... (Artorias pulls his sword out of the ground and charges at you.)

When you write something three years ago, look back at it and say "how was this allowed to exist". Yeah, that's me because when I read this, all I see are my mistakes.

Well... I think he's all... LEFTY
Where's the door?

Only...cheers and thanks.

You gotta be joken.

mhm... not bad.Β
However i think his helmet looks a lot like a Rat in this image. Not sure if intentionall.Β
other than that, awesome.Β

Thanks for the pointing that out. Taking reference would
have really helped. Cheers!

love these images
this would be a a scarier artorias to fight in game simple because he still has his left arm because he is left handed but due to it being broken in game he has to fight you with his shield arm instead of his good one, just imagine how much harder it would be to fight him with his good arm

Glad you think so! I think Artorias would be a force
to be reckoned with had he been in good shape.
Cheers!

I love this one to Death, it really shows how horrifically the Abyss has corrupted one who was once a true hero.

Glad the message got through. I need to do this stuff again. HAHAHAAH
Cheers!

I think next should be Ornstein. What if his armor is burned badly and instead of a regular lion helm, it's an actual lions head with its mane?
π: 0 β©: 1
That's actually a great idea! I will put my mind to that after what might be
Siegmeyer. Cheers, Rexlare!
π: 0 β©: 1
Siegmeyer's next? Oh lordy how are you gonna darken that joyful Onion?
π: 0 β©: 1
To be honest, I don't know.
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm sure you'll think of something epic.
Maybe since his arc focuses on him hollowing, you could show parts of his armor decaying and revealing the hollowed skin underneath?Β

Good idea once again, man! I was also planning on implementing
some poison elements from Blighttown.
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm on a role with these ideas...
Blightown? Cause he's a Onion?

the thumbnail didn't look too bad, but once you get a closer look though...

Yeah, wasn't feeling this one to be honest. Cheers!

and by bad i mean brutal/gory

Ohhhhhhh, I get it. Why, cheers again!

it also applies to your other artworks that i've commented on

Sweet.Β You do all these by hand or are using software?Β Kudos if it's hand done
π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you. Well, in a way it's actually sort of both. I do it digitally
if that's what you mean but I do have the traditional experience to
back it up! Cheers!
π: 0 β©: 0
That would be a sight to see! Cheers!

Edgy and grim dark as fuck...I LOVE IT

I think it might not have matched up to the other ones as much because Artorias already had a dark, torn, and "savage" appearance that matched up better.
But that might just be me being a big fan of Artorias and his armor.Β

Yeah I knew it was gonna be a sort of miss. Didn't feel this as much
as I did aside from the helmet. Cheers!

This was not as good as others.
But even then you draw very well.
