Auld Andormira wax knight vessel
🕑 Added 2018-05-14 22:09:37 +0000 UTC A warm-up sketch/ink thing of a 'vessel' that holds a shard of an Auld Andormirian wax knight from a couple hundred years back. The armor on most has rusted away completely, though I'd imagine this one was sheltered in one of the ruins of Blackpine until the day the ash started to pull towards the Andormira towers again.

So much details... simply amazing =D

It's a loooong story. They were known as the Wax Knights due to their protecting the (at the time) Auld Andormira Academy. A repository of arcane and divine that was unsurpassed back then. The mages of the academy used a 'wax' in candles (often worn when reading) that allowed them to see past simple space and time, and 'read the spaces between the pages'.

Very kind of you! I've been finding that it brings me back to the old days of Trampier and Nicholson artwork. When everything had to be expressed in black and white, and not everything was ultra detailed or inked to perfection. Sort of a tribute to those old days with a more digital bent :)

What is a Wax Knight?

Wow! I really, really love seeing you sketch like this. There's a tremendous humanity to your ink technique, a really organic quality, and things like the shadow on the ground take me back to the days when fantasy art wasn't afraid to show its construction lines. Gorgeous!
