Description

SMITE LORE (skip if you're not interested):

"Long have there been many different legends told of a great warrior king, who rose to deliver peace to lands riven by war. By his hand was the bloodshed ceased, and all its peoples united under his reign. And with his knights he ventured out, to safeguard with steel all that he had sworn to protect.

  But in his absence, the order he had won was fated to end, as the King's own son—Mordred— sought the power to rule for himself. A betrayal most cold, threatening to turn all that he held dear to ashes.

  Upon his return, the King beheld what had become of his realm and people. He was their guardian, an oath he bore above all others.

  The battle raged, sundering Camelot as surely as the King's own bloodline. He carried the day, in the end, but at the cost in stone, blood, and soul.

  In its wake the king sets out, upon a new journey. For Avalon has called to him, and Arthur shall answer."

First sprite of the new year (26 days in... oops!) and also the first of SMITE latest pantheon: Arthurian! I would have expected for these to just be filed under Celtic, but.. I guess that's not so fitting after all. Also neat about this one is that he is voiced by Xander Mobus, the same guy who portrays the announcer in Smash Ultimate. His voice is great for this!

As for this sprite.. I honestly like it. It looks pretty good. Even the sword came out good. He does look a bit like a baseball player, or a Jedi, but this is just how he stands when he is ready to strike. I totally didn't make him stand like this so I wouldn't have to draw the draconic crest on his chest or anything!
