Inktober 2016, October 5: Dark Knight

Posted on in art

Part of my inktober2016 series. See the initial Inktober 2016 post for details.

Disclaimer: Below is a description a fictional character intended to be an evil villain in a fantasy/science fiction tabletop role playing game. I do not promote the occult, magic, or violence. This is a work of fiction.

Inktasy Challenge day 5 is “Dark Knight.” I rolled dark and tattoo. Unfortunately, I didn't get either dark or tattoo, although the knight is kind of dark. It's based on the Supreme Nexus Knights NPC (from Rifts® World Book Three: England™, 91). These things are lesser life essences of a powerful alien intelligence and controlled by Mrrlyn. They're essentially a self-powered mystical suit of armor.

I've been wanting to work on hands, so I did a closeup of the guy's hands, holding a flaming sword (standard equipment for a Supreme Nexus Knight). I used Sword pose stock 30 from Random-Acts-Stock as a photo reference.

Inktasy Challenge day 4 is “Summoner.” I rolled dark and wings. The idea came in a flash...

Part of my inktober2016 series. See the initial Inktober 2016 post for details.

Inktasy Challenge day 3 is “Bard.” I rolled light and wings. So this is the traveling story teller from Rifts® Russia (there isn't really a bard class, per se).

Description

“…and his description was so vivid we could almost see the giant bird in the smoke from the fire.”

Inktasy Challenge day 2 is “Warrior.” I rolled water and scar. This one was hard to figure out. I started with an Inca Warrior, but I didn't like that. I then searched through a half dozen Rifts® books for something. Finally, I remembered Coalition War Campaign had several DBs in it. I found the Vanguard Brawler (Coalition War Campaign, 206) and put him in front of a waterfall.

Inktasy Challenge day 1 is “Witch.” I rolled fire and tattoo. I based the character on the Witchery OCC (from Rifts® Conversion Book One, 55) and the Witch OCC (Rifts® Dark Conversions, 170). These are the same thing, with the Dark Conversions book being the most recent (it's technically Conversion Book Three).

Description

A redheaded witch, with tattoos on her wrists, manipulates fire between her hands. Her demon familiar, in the form of a ferret, is visible at her feet.
