Calm Before the Storm by *wraithdt The Suggester said: "The girl's expression in itself remind me exactly of how one feels just before facing a storm, a battle, a struggle. It's full of a strange peace, a confidence, as if she is determined she will do her best... and yet the very fact that she's kneeling makes it look as if she is still seeking something within herself. And ahhhh the way the light falls right on her... So symbolic."

Description

Pardon me for not posting anything for some time now. I've been busy with work and wedding stuff but I finally had the motivation to do some personal work. Here's my latest one.

The usual medieval stuff with a slight twist. A sister knight of the Holy Roman Empire kneels focused and calm before an assault. She is holding a poleaxe, the favored weapon of foot knights of the 14th and 15th century. Not as glamorous as a sword but its versatile and lethal against other knights and armored opponents. Think can-opener.

Cheers!
