Soujel Aircity: The Knight's Arrival

Posted Jul 10, 2022, 3:47:51 AM UTC

This piece took me... two days including breaks, about 4 hours of total work. I'd say this is probably the longest amount of time I've ever spent on a piece... not that I don't think the work was worth it of course! Cuz honestly I really like how this turned out. But boy howdy this project was exhausting and it took me a long time and asking a couple friends for advice before it got to a point that I liked it. And this is why I don't do backgrounds, lol.

The knight had paid for his voyage to the captain of the ship directly. It was a small ship, but he wasn't bringing an army; just himself and his sword. The captain tipped her tricorn hat, decorated with large feathers vermillion and gold feathers, as he walked on. 'Welcome aboard, sir.'

It had been a few hours, and Galaxii had spent most of that time under the deck, taking an accounting of his inventory. His coin purse had enough to get him a couple nights at an inn, just enough to get him by while he looked for work. Other than that, his sword, and his crafting materials, he didn't have much on him.

One of the crew came below deck, knocking on the door of the room Galaxii was holed up in. 'Sir, the captain requests that you come up above deck. We'll be in Avangard soon.'

Galaxii put all of his belongings back into his bag and went up above deck, and he was greeted by the late evening light of the sunset. He was stunned for a moment, walking over to the edge of the ship and looking out. The city's skylines were lit by the orange glow of the setting sun, and as the ship steered closer to the ports, the sound of the city grew louder.

'We're comin' in to port, sir,' the captain said, from behind him. He turned and looked up at her as she continued to steer into port. 'Hope you find what you're lookin' for. Don't see a lot of knights around these parts. What are you even here for, anyway?'

'Work,' he answered simply, turning back to watch the skyline as the sun dipped below the horizon.
