Description
The tale of the Fire Knights known as the Steadfast was used as a cautionary one, against those who claim to follow their heart but do not achieve civilized results. The Knights' Council developed a practice of self-observance bordering on paranoia after their re-founding because of them.I had paints left, so I scraped them into my sketchbook with a palette knife and drew over that with pen brushes. You can see that on my Tumblr if you want, and the alternate version of this one, too.

The atmosphere here is just fantastic. I love the contrast between dark and light, between hot and cold. I love the smoke and the shadows and especially the embers.
The body language is great, too. Everyone looks a little apprehensive, but each knight seems to have a distinct personality: One guy has a fighting stance, another is trying to show some swagger, and the third is proud but cautious.Β And there are probably a lot of other ways to read those poses. I love when there's a little implied story that's left largely up to viewer interpretation.
My only quibble is that the guy on the right seems a little unbalanced, like he's about to fall forward.

Thanks a lot, it was a nice surprise how well it turned out. I suppose concentrating on this one moment was helpful, I normally drift off into worldbuilding while I paint these pieces.
I am working hard on my tiny people (that's what I call these figures that are often there only for scale. Man, they can climb anything!) so I will call these successful - even if that guy might just fall over from the hot fumes

He'll blame it on the armour though. Ninjas do have an advantage in well-aired combat dress.

A very dramatic picture. I like the perspectives of the characters. The background is very dark and is also one of the highlights.
