Fanart of Henry of Skalitz (Tom MacKay) from Warhorse's Kingdom Come: Deliverance.
I have been working on this drawing while finishing my second playthrough of KCD 2, and ended up finishing both on the same day. Well, a drawing is never really finished, and I do still have the painter and monastery DLCs to go through (I can't wait, I am starting this afternoon), but I did finish the main story the day I finally put down my pencils on this. I cried again when the parents left him under the linen tree. I never cry. This is insane. Again, good job, Warhorse's writers.
As for the drawing itself, I didn't prepare my colors this time; I just went for it, and it kind of shows on the paper where I corrected multiple times, but I am still glad I just let loose, for once. Sometimes you just have to let go and see what happens. It's okay if you fuck up; at least you might have learned something.
This illustration was actually inspired by the Hansry fanfiction I am currently writing. What was supposed to be a short novel turned into a three-parts project, as it always does. I can never just go small; if I am not stopped, I just keep going. Thank god sheets of paper have edges, and I can't just draw in the air, or I would be in trouble. But, as for writing... yeah, it's a problem. Anyway, in this part of the story, Henry leaves on the eve of the wedding without explanation. The readers find him traveling alone accross Bohemia and Moravia, fighting for coin, haunted by nightmares, with no one to wake him by his side, and longing for a presence he is trying to forget. Until he hears troubling news from Rattay.
*cue dramatic pause* Tuduh duh duh.
I used a screenshot by @playpausephoto as a reference, so don't hesitate to check out their account if you like what you see and are looking for high-definition KCD screenshots; they're doing an amazing job.
Time spent on this project: Too long to count, to be honest. I finished Luke Dale's stream on KCD 2, started watching Tom MacKay's stream after, and around part 12, I started Luke's stream on Detroit: Become Human. Pencils take time, is my point.
