Day 6: It speaks

Day 6: It speaks

I decided to spend this sketch seeing if I could improve the antler design of yesterdays Green Knight.

I’ll be honest, I’m still not that sure about it, but I think I prefer it to the last couple of designs.

Here’s the bit of prose I wrote.  I like this one:
“Up close, the knight’s presence was no less disturbing. It’s armour was a mesh of roots and bark, insects milling through the damp cracks. And then it spoke, with a voice straight from the depths of deepest hells, and breath that reeked of spring flowers and autumnal decay.”

and the video:

I streamed this one on my Twitch channel by the way, and will do so for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday sketches, before working on a bigger painting.
