Direct Reference Study - Dark Souls, Red Knight

Dark Souls 1 is amazing for inspiration. If you have any interest in knights or the Soulsborne universe, then pick up the Dark Souls concept art books. Amazing stuff.

Frontpage? AHHHHHHH. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for looking at my art. I added a process gif for you!

The shield looks beautiful, almost looks real. Love everything else as well, especially how you did the cloth.

DeadSM responds:

Thank you very much! The cloth was fun because I had never really thought about the emblems on knights until I did it.

I really love the lighting on the shield. It captures that metal feel really well.

DeadSM responds:

That's my favorite part, too. When painting it, I was worried it wouldn't look good. It caused me to take a small break. I returned and gave it more love, and now I am glad I did. Thank you for taking the time to comment!

Beautiful art, I love the souls series!

DeadSM responds:

Same! There's nothing like the satisfaction you get once you run through enemies who gave you struggle before. Thank you for commenting!

this is so good I also really appreciate the gif at the end it really helps me understand your art process

DeadSM responds:

I'm glad you liked the process GIF! I added it only after being featured, but I know now how much it can help someone recreate something they enjoy. This is something I will try to include more often. Thank you for taking the time to comment!
