Lord Soth - Dragonlance

Published:
3.8K Views

Description

One character that really caught my attention from the Dragonlance books was Lord Soth: Knight of the Black Rose.

Really wanted to explore a more realistic version of what the Death knight might actually look like. For me, the most iconic physical trait is his glowing eyes.

If you haven't already, I strongly recommend checking out the Dragonlance books as they are some of the best fantasy books I've ever read.

Made in Photoshop CS2 with a Wacom Bamboo tablet. Roughly 3-4 hours on and off.

I think you did a great job depicting him - the glowing eyes are one thing, but
he's actually having a face here, even if it's incorporeal - and that's how he's
described in the books you've mentioned (and so is he depicted in Ravenloft 
novel, if my memory doesen't fail me). The cloak looks really cool, covering
him from neck to toe, the helmet with the rose is also great.
Hope you'll do count Strahd von Zarovich one day as I think your version
could be the best one to ever be made (especially if you would draw him
using the same realistic principals you did here).
