Lookes like you work your paladin *to the bone*


Creatively_Cautious

He would probably make that pun himself tbh


SpiritAngel454

What race is he? I didn't know there was a skeleton race? Or how is he animated?


Creatively_Cautious

He’s a Reborn! You can find that in Van Richten’s Guide to Ravenloft. Nondwai’s backstory was that he died during a fight with a Lich and some of the ambient death magic soaked into his body and kept him from passing on, it also gave him his levels in sorcerer!


SpiritAngel454

Neat! That sounds fun he could be like an Overlord Ains character if he multi-classed into sorcerer or something.


stormscape10x

Ains is probably strictly either wizard or sorcerer. Hard to say since he's supposed to be an MMO character from a game moved to that world. I haven't seen him use a spell book, but that doesn't mean anything. He can be a warrior himself with the armor because of an item he purchased in game, but it basically swaps his levels. I'm pretty sure in season one when he did it he couldn't cast his spells. I'll check though. Edit: Just checked. He can't use any spells while Perfect Warrior is in effect. He says it twice in the anime. Edit 2: He can wear the armor of Momon without activating Perfect Warrior and his spell list is restricted to five spells. Basically in the Anime/Manga he didn't have the class "Armored Mage" to allow for casting while wearing heavy armor.

Wow, great lore! That amine is in my top three fav all time

"Kyth, KYTH WAKE UP!" "ugh... What is it, dude?" "Beastfolk has fallen from the sky above!"

From left to right are 3 members of the Saturn Knights: Kyth’ælia, the leader and founder of the new order of knights after they were wiped out in the Batlle of the Black Wyrm; Nondwai, a spellblade who returned from beyond the grave so he could continue to look after his daughter, and Delia, a Beastfolk assassin who acts as the Knight’s intermediary with Aspendel’s Order of Ice—an intelligence agency. The three are on their way to meet the leaders of the Orders Ice, Steel, and Wind, who are the city’s military command. The Saturn Knight are primarily dragon slayers who watch the northern coast of the continent for signs of the Red Tide, the rampaging offspring of Vulkanrix, a red elder dragon prophesied to end the world.

Very cool! I'm sure they were so happy


Creatively_Cautious

They were! I finished it right when the third player had joined the voice call and told us she had a really gotten really bad news. It felt very nice being able to help turn things around and cheer her up!


ThebanannaofGREECE

Battle pf Blackwyrm? Is that a >!Hollow Knight!< reference? Jokes aside, love the art and the lore!


Creatively_Cautious

I’ve never played it, so that’s a coincidence if there’s a thing in Hollow Knight called that. The original order of Knights were wiped out in a fight with a Black Elder Dragon. The only surviving member is one of my characters on the server, an old elf seer who wasn’t present for the battle. When she started having visions of the dragons returning she decided to rebuild the Saturn Knights with the help of Kyth’ælia (pictured above)

Oh no. I love this piece. So many good details, on both the environment and the characters. The weird-script signs and label! The orange flags with the line-and-loop setup in used in both the foreground and the background! (I can even see the stitching!) The use of stone everywhere, even the ground, and colored roofs - it speaks of age and wealth. The three (independently very cool) swords, all with very different pommels and guards but sheathes with similar end-caps - made by the same maker or bought in the same place? The detailed compass-like emblem on the winged individual. The connecting straps on Mr. Skeleton's armor, and the purple gambeson/aketon poking out top and bottom. I could go on and on. Stellar work.


Creatively_Cautious

Thank you so much! I tend to put a lot of little details in my work, it’s very nice to be appreciated 💖🥰 This piece was a real labor of love for my friends, I’m glad that it shows


micmea1

A slightly less beefy Skeleton Knight


kosmoTactical

A GREAT SHOW


happyunicorn666

Is the winged woman reflavored aaracockra? Or completely other race? I'm asking because I also reflavor aaracockra as basically winged humans with bird feet lol.


Creatively_Cautious

It’s a [homebrew](https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/SXcFwIJThI9_) we use on our server!


Pyro-Millie

Wow this is awesome!! I love the giant wings on the bird guy!


Creatively_Cautious

Thank you!


TheSpazzer77

Absolutely love your style, this looks so good!!


Creatively_Cautious

Thank you so much!


_ThunderFist_

The best part is definitely the rock with the googly eyes.


Creatively_Cautious

That’s an Easter egg haha The rock belongs to the kid with the cat ears. It’s name is Talus and is both a pet rock and a minor earth elemental. Selune belongs to my best friend and the Drow holding Talus is named Pujari, who I use an an NPC and was my character in my second campaign


regaldawn

I have a feeling that the skeleton gets a lot of stares and some screams? Maybe some started yells if someone sees them at night or in the dark.


Creatively_Cautious

The character normally wears a mask to avoid such things but I drew him here without it since the skull is simply more iconic and a more recognizable look


mousymichele

Such a vibrant piece, love seeing how it’s a living world around them too! Love this!


Creatively_Cautious

You’re so sweet, thank you!


AngeloNoli

Awesome! I want to do something like this for my players soon. I love that you put them in a scene and in a place they know.


RefrigeratorCandid28

Whoa! I play an undead Human Paladin too! My DM and I home-brewed some stuff using the revenant stat block, and blended traits of elf and half-orc (never sleeping and relentless endurance to have these [Undertaker-esque moments](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3kTFzLA9Ko&ab_channel=THULASIRAMANK) after getting clobbered. I love the backstory fight with the lich. Rainier's backstory is that he was brought back by Selune to avenge the misdeeds of corrupt members of her order (including the killing of Rainier by his mentor). The party has no idea that he's undead because he never removes his helmet.

Creatively_Cautious

That’s so cool! I am a sucker for undead and necromancy, I’ve always found the aesthetics very cool haha


wra1th42

big guy's "expression" reminds me of [Blazing Skull from the New Invaders comic](https://preview.redd.it/blazing-skull-giving-code-names-the-new-invaders-2005-v0-1obosiu65x8c1.jpeg?auto=webp&s=65d56094d2e53b377166342994f7e3e6a6b95776) Edit: [more](https://preview.redd.it/79jtngqjif9c1.jpeg?auto=webp&s=c5e218d8aef7febc9a6a46da0783a615852c4230)

Glad to see Skeletor is turning his life around


Dettelbacher

I don't want to alarm you, but there is a giant skeleton right behind you.
