The Guardian Knights by Yakra on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

One of the random sketches suffering from the curse of Damas. Despite all its attempts to work its way into obscurity amongst meh unfinished sketch folders, I persevered and put it to rest (though I wonder... was it worth it. Gack! I be horrid with posey pics!! DX )

Medium: Watercolors, pencils and gouche doodle on parchment
Time: No clue?

Anyways, bad posey pic of the Guardian Knights of Harmonie (or Queen's/King's Knights [title would change with whichever monarch be in power], if you prefer). They be the knights you always find standing around looking pretty next to the Queen in any book, and are the first to get beat up by the heros. XD

Ehem... okie, actually the Queen's knights are the elite guard made up of the best, most skilled of the knights of the realm (and usually the advisor/strategist is included amongst the ranks, even if he/she does not know how to fight). And they don't stand around and look pretty and get beat up. X'D Though, mostly, they are sent out on useless city patrols in peaceful times (atleast Izul and Lancel are. Fenrir would never wear out the soles of his boots when he can be sniffing flowers with the Queen in the garden, noooo! XD).

Er.... the posey people from left to right:

[Yip, another long blab! Skip if ye wish!]

Siam Iwail - The only female in the current ranks (and also the only non-human). She's one of the older veterans (83), an arrogant little archer who has to bear the unwanted attentions of both Fenrir and Lancel.

Izul Falmar - Er.... I'm sure I've babbled enough about him in other pics. The shield bearer, he posses the strongest one in the world, one which can render a whole army invincible... if he manages to get it to work.

Lancel Tesnic - Okie, where and how does a chakram bearer keep/hang his chakrams? I'm sure Lancel is quite a nuisance to the public as he patrols the streets with those blades hanging around like a porcupine? Aside from that, Lancel is quite interested in Siam, however all his attempts at charming her are foiled, thanks to Fenrir's early morning flirting leaving her in a foul mood everyday.

Fenrir Falmar - Captain of the knights, Izul's older brother, extreme flirt. He's quite unlike Izul in all ways (taller to start off with and with clothes that aren't falling apart! ). To the surprise of the masses, he was chosen as captain ahead of the much experienced Damas, but has proved to be the best for the job, despite his flighty side. XD

Damas Pendergast - Er... Mr. Veteran of 1000 battles? X'D He be cursed! Any painting with him in it never gets completed! D: Aside from that, a heavy armour warrior, he's one of the older, remaining members of the old knights. It was thought he would be the next to become captain of the knights.

Gawain Tancred - (Har.... can anyone guess who this knight be inspired by? XD) The youngest person ever to join the knights (at the age of nine) when he single handedly defeated a whole legion and protected the King (who was still alive seven years back). Heavy armour knight.

Oghma Calflas - Oghma be the strategist, an alchemist, a traitor to his home country and er... me too lazy to draw his overly ornate rapier? *lost patience* His philosopher's stone/anima is the guardian of Toîle, a great water serpent of the gods - the Leviathan, the taking of which added to his list of traitorly-ness.

And that be it. I'll be amazed if you all actually read that.

Criticism on their woonky poses?
