The magic element of the Green Knight from Castle Crashers (which, incidentally, was the first character I chose to play as), I knew I was going to enjoy doing this piece the moment the idea came to me. In fact, I also drew the Green Knight for day 3 of last year's Inktober, whose prompt happened to be Poison!

And yes, you're seeing that right: I'm using a ballpoint pen (in fact, it's the exact same model I used in high school). That's because, strictly speaking, I'm sketching, not inking. In either case, ballpoints are terrible if you want to vary your strokes, but that's exactly the sort of challenge I crave. And normally I'd be using blue ink, which I did last year (I did not share any of my Inktober 2017 artwork publicly), but I'm using green ink just for the occasion, because duh.

Hopefully I'll be able to keep up for the entire month!
