Inktober 2016, October 5: Dark Knight
Posted on in art inktober inktober2016 rifts
Part of my inktober2016 series. See the initial Inktober 2016 post for details.
Disclaimer: Below is a description a fictional character intended to be an evil villain in a fantasy/science fiction tabletop role playing game. I do not promote the occult, magic, or violence. This is a work of fiction.
Inktasy Challenge day 5 is “Dark Knight.” I rolled dark and tattoo. Unfortunately, I didn't get either dark or tattoo, although the knight is kind of dark. It's based on the Supreme Nexus Knights NPC (from Rifts® World Book Three: England™, 91). These things are lesser life essences of a powerful alien intelligence and controlled by Mrrlyn. They're essentially a self-powered mystical suit of armor.
I've been wanting to work on hands, so I did a closeup of the guy's hands, holding a flaming sword (standard equipment for a Supreme Nexus Knight). I used Sword pose stock 30 from Random-Acts-Stock as a photo reference.
