Finally, I have made another illustration for the 2004 “LEGO Knights’ Kingdom II” sets. This time, I’ll be focusing on the hero of the journey, the protagonist of the story, the simple youth of the Knights… Jayko the Blue.

Jayko is the youngest of the specific four knights in the land of Morcia, and has hopes of becoming a really great and legendary hero. Of course, his fast actions and lack of thinking often places him at risk. Instead of constantly ridiculing him, the three older knights have hope for him and encourage the lad. But that doesn’t mean he doesn’t receive loving scolding from them. Well, at least from Danju.

Jayko’s hopes for adventure spring about when the King mysteriously vanishes from his throne. When the four heroes discover the missing King and a traitorous plot, they are instructed to find the mythical Heart of the Shield, a fable of olden folklore. And yes, I am listening to Celtic-music while writing this down. Jayko goes through many trials and mistakes (which are mostly found in the books, and the GBA video game), but learns from them along his quest. For some reason, after the knights pass their tests and are given the Heart of the Shield by the Guardian, Jayko is chosen as candidate to challenge the villain (Vladek) in the tournament for the crown. (Yeah, because sending the low-experienced Knight who also nearly got himself devoured is the more brilliant idea anyknigth can ever think of). With his carful thinking and skill, he defeats Vladek with the Heart’s glowing light. Jayko is declared a hero for his boldness, but he and the King agree that the crown won’t move on for a while.

After defeating Vladek and his Shadow-Knights for a second time, Jayko is then clowned the king of Morcia. Years later, he and two new knights rise to prevent a returning Vladek and his new allies, Morcian Rogue Knights, from conquering the kingdom. Once again… spoiler alert, they win and everyone is happy except the villains.

Jayko’s emblem is the Hawk, which if you know, is an extremely fast bird. If his speed isn’t represented by his animal, then maybe his color will speak for it. Blue is often used to symbolize many matters, and speed is a very appropriate one to be matched with. Not to add religious themes into the franchise, but I do believe there might be some heavenly glow coming from the choice of color and species for Jayko.

For the art, it was done really quickly (although separate at times), and yet… not to be void of humility, but I am happy with how this came out. It is really cool and wonderful, I believe this is my best Knights-Kingdom picture I have ever done to date. It has a vibe of 1990s while nearly looking like official artwork. But, maybe that’s too far of a stretch.

Art by I'll draw it because no one else will.
