Day 5: The Green Knight

Day 5: The Green Knight

The abominable knight advanced, each step resounding like the snap and groan of a collapsing tree. Vines flowed from it’s oaken helm and back, writhing and twisting their way through the air, exploring their surroundings like the tentacles of an octopus.

Day 5 is here, and this time I decided to design the Green Knight for my Fall of Camelot project, and wrote the above little prose for it.  I wish I could have come up with a plant-related metaphor instead of ‘like the tentacles of an octopus’, but nothing was coming to me.  

I couldn’t quite zone in on the antler design, neither of these feel quite right.  I’m going to spend a few days in a row sketching this guy out in a few ways til I reach a design I’m happy with.

 

Here’s the video-diddeo:
