The Knight - [School Project]
(Made between January and February 2022)
The Knight is a superhero à la Saint Seiya or She-ra. They're a defender of the Earth, and use fencing to fight. The cristals on their jewels and armour serves as a way to channel the strength of the previous chosen knights, and the metal of the armour can withstand pretty much anything, but it is fairly restricting, hence why it's specifically in places that can be used to parry.
Outside of the superhero life, they're a fairly normal uni student who wear too big clothings because it feels safer, and who is very creative.
This project was a dual project - we were assigned a partner and were meant to draw them as a superhero, using their personality, tastes, and everything about them to create this superhero persona that they could be in a comics, while they did the same with us. I was paired with C. Bré (amy_the18th on ArtStation), who is a friend of mine, so this was very fun to dive into things I knew C. enjoyed, and to build upon it!
