[hi everyone!! thanks so much for your support and helping me reach 400!! i seriously appreciate every single one of u and im glad you stuck around for my really sporadic art posts!! once again as a milestone celebration, an OC challenge! i hope you have fun!! 😄 🎉🎊] <><><> The Challenge: • Design an OC that is either a knight or a royal (or both if you feel like it) • Can be any species (because im a sucker for fantasy) • OR use OCs you already have and turn them into a royal & knight AU • ***ONE REQUEST!*** i ask once again if you could give your OC a song of your choice! whatever reminds you of them or think fits the scene they’re in! (this isnt mandatory but it was so fun to see everyones song choices during the last challenge and i even added some to my library lol) • NO DEADLINE!!! HAVE FUN!! background info about this oc: <>The Porcelain Knight<> the appointed knight of a royal who was experienced in magic. one day during an invasion, the royal was forced to flee with their knight to escape their invaders. they were caught and surrounded, so the royal cast a powerful spell across the field that turned their enemies to porcelain. the royal realized too late that this included their beloved knight who was in range during battle, and as the knight was slowly consumed by porcelain, they vowed to wait for their royal, while their royal promised to find a way to undo their spell. however, many years pass, and whereabouts of the former royal are unknown, as are the ruins where the knight resides. song inspo: Remember by Katie

My entry for this challenge: The scavenger ,a knight for live...sounds strange, but actually true.
Scavengers are really useful for a healthy ecosystem, since they eat dead meat and prevent disease and dirty water - which would happen, if the meat could rot.

My scavenger has a few things from real scavengers: The wings from the vulture, fur from the hyena, claws from crabs and the amulet is inspired from the nicrophorus beatle. Also there is some moss, which grows on dead (and living) trees and some flies.

It's weapon is time. It grabs you and makes time pass fast, so the enemy dies and new live can grow. But don't be afraid, for only the evil will be punished.

The song I choose is "Guggisberglied" from Singfrauen Wintherthur. It is a traditional swiss song wich has just this perfect spookiness to it
