if they toast with Morr!"

hope you like it!

I like it very much.

Is this the draft for a new scratch build or "just" a drawing?

[Malvino]

both things my friend!

Oh my... that is... impressive!

Reminds me of Keith Thompson's 'Baron knight' image, but ... not as weird lol.

Sketch wise the right side of his chest seem a little busy, and get lost between the long beak (too cool by the way!) and the skulls and the ribbons and the chest plate... I think you could define those areas accordingly. His shin guards seem a little... odd. Technique wise it's... flippin' amazing. But just few little bits and pieces that need jinking.

For a mini... dude, I think... like... that'd be totally AWESOME.

Maybe have indentation on the shinguard to not only give the sketch a little bit of direction but it will also be mimicking the raven.

Amazing

Can't wait to see the painting on those knights

[Malvino]

@soju thanks mate! you are right those shinguard are too simple and in some parts the compositions is too "heavy" of details...soon i post you an helm study!
@flameknight thanks!

[SirUlrich]

I love it! It is a manifestation of a Morr's Templar Proper!

Please, convert the mini and post pics - I want to steal the idea!

I love the rest of your Morr's Chosen work also!

Great job!

[Malvino]

And i am a fan of your jobs too, sir urlic!
i love your hooded greatswords!
can Morr travel across your dreams my friend!
soon i post the minis for comments!

[patsy02]

I'd rather not have morr travel through my dreams 

[Malvino]

@patsy Morr is the god of dreams...besides of death...

[stareso]

A beautiful drawing Malvino, I like your style. If this serves as concept art for a mini, I'll be wanting to see him real soon

[wissenlander]

Awesome concept.  How long did it take you to sketch that out?  It's brilliant!

[Grutch]

Lovely work!

I love the drawing! If you can sculpt half as well as you can draw, we're up for a real treat once you get the model done 

We expect it by the end of the week  TM (lol, Midaski will get it)

[Otaku]

Cool!  Are you going to paint him purple also? I also cant wait to see how he turns out. Is he a great sword or a knight?

[Malvino]

@stareso thanks!...
@wissenlander THIS draw about 3 hours, but first i've done some sketches of the helmet and the same figure on horse!
@grutch my lord... when can i see some new works of you?
@wizer thanks ies for the end of the week...maybe the 21 october? ...really i think is a long time project...maybe for the italian gt...2008!^^
@brian lee nice question! ies purple all the life! but i do not know...initially it was a knight (first sketches are on horse) but i like to see him on foot as well....suggestions my friends?!...

[Otaku]

I think he looks cool on foot and would be the most unique that way. There are other knightly orders armed similarly and dedicated to morr (there is a detailed list of Knightly Orders in the Library know and they are organised by who they are dedicated to. Several are dedicated to morr if you want to check them out for ideas, insperation...).  But he would look really cool mounted as well. I guess it depends on what you need in your army, foot troops or knights. As for purple armour.... you could pull it off but I think its risky. If you go with purple I think a dark purple is best.
