*~~~* This was my b-day gift to myself. I started this ... back in March, I think and just never got to finish it. But then I suddenly kept thinking about this character and then I KNEW how I wanted to finish this. Firn is General of the Haven Knights, as I mentioned in this pic: [link] , and... pretty much the supreme badass of all badasses. At least in this story. I still don't think this picture does HIM justice. Must try harder >_>.

Yes that is ARMOR. And just the bottom layer. It's called the Ivory Idol and right now it's in 'chill' mode and not all over the place like rapidly growing weeds. It's being kinda lazy. It's organic and uh... alive. He doesn't wear this out in the book a lot because when he does it's a really BIG deal and people need to start praying for their lives. It means danger is coming. I hate myself for designing it like this, and I'm still not sure this will be the FINAL design for the inner layer. As much as I'm already damning the day I created this thing I can't WAIT to draw him in action.

So yes, Happy late Birthday to me !
