Brave Knights

It feels extra awkward to post something like this, since it looks like a birthday present for myself

So... where do we start?
I share birthday with:

And he approached me with this awesome idea for the occasion He imagined an art with his OC - Paladin, and my Jediel standing as a Knights with their guard up, and with "Brave Knights" title on top.
As You can see in the process of drawing I kinda butchered that idea There is no title on top at all, and the poses are way more dynamic, due to me wanting to practice a little something different. Also - most noticeable change - I turned Jediel into a Jedi, rather than traditional knight. Why? Firstly - I'm on the Star Wars hype... again right now. Secondly - I realized that there is some similarity in our OC's names. He is called Paladin - obviously a knightly figure, and my is actually called Jediel... just... I couldn't resist to use it

Drawing Paladin was a lot of fun. I imagined him in leader-like pose, with shield up. Ready to protect, and to lead others.

I had no time to design original lightsabers for Jediel (something I really have to do ) so I based them on the "Sinister Prophecy" sabers from saberforge.com... they are just awesome

So... happy birthday Sonic And sorry for deviating so much from Your original vision
