A pencil drawing of an armored skeletal knight. It is humanoid, with a head, torso, two arms, and two legs. It is armored from head to toe in full plate armor. A black handprint is on the left side of its chest plate. A deer/bird skull rests at the center of its belt. It carries a tall medieval warhammer in its right hand and a triangular heater shield in its left hand. The heater shield shows a bunch of wailing ghosts on it. The visor of its helmet is raised, showing a skull. The figure is standing neutrally, looking off to the left, with its shield held loose and its warhammer planted into the ground headfirst, with its hand resting on the pommel. The drawing is on a spiral sketchbook with a signature on the upper right side.
Digital art of an old undead knight. It is humanoid, with a head, torso, two arms, and two legs. It is covered head to toe in a mixture of chainmail and plate mail armor. It wears a chainmail shirt, a breastplate, a split-color tabard, layered pauldrons, couters on the elbows, gauntlets, a pair of belts, quilted trousers, shin guards, chainmail boots with spurs, and an armet helmet. It also carries a flanged mace in its right hand and large mirror-like heater shield in its left hand. The shield has a polished surface showing various dark ghostly figures tapping and peeking through it outward, as if it was a contained portal. The tabard has an emblem on it of a castle tower split in two colors (reversed from the tabard they're on) with an eye in the center. The knights clothing is tattered, with metal parts showing rust, the cloth showing tears, and the plates showing warps and tears. There are holes near the elbow and in the helmet that show the undead humanoid beneath. The visor shows a glowing eye and trailing aura of power and malice from it. The plate armor is a dark metallic grey, the chainmail a lighter grey, the various bands and belts a dark red, the tabard a split red and purple, the mace a dark grey, the mirror shield a light blue ringed by a silver frame, the ghostly figures inside a dark blue, the glowing eye and aura on the helmet a reddish orange, the eye on the tabard purple, the exposed weathered skin a purplish-red, and the exposed teeth through the helmet a weathered dark yellow. There are also rusty red and brown discolorations and weathering throughout. The figure is posed as if it is stalking forward, shield up to protect itself while winding back to swing its mace. The background resembles old parchment and a signature is on the bottom right.
