Black Knight Sketch

Black Knight, final piece for my "Witch's Knights" series. Had some time while listening to speakers at SFBATS to scribble some sketch ideas for this. I have in mind misty-dark woods with the moon gleaming through a gap in the central tree. Hoping to polish this sketch a little bit, and then get down to painting it when I return from Dragoncon next week. Leaving on Thursday, and still so much packing to do!

Alternate background idea. Swirled ridges of the roots here remind me of a huge ficus in hawaii. I know, not geographically appropriate, but tickling my artistic fancy.

  1. I love the swirled roots more. Completely understand the tickling :) They kinda give a "flow" to the background. They also make the foreground pop more if that's your intention.

  2. Love all your works!
    Your paintings are beautiful and I also like all the legends you're inspired by.
    Have you ever thought of made silk scarves or somthing like that with your works, like the bags? They would be beautiful!
