Hello! Here's another project I've painted recently. This is a Spriggan, another one of the bugelves for my personal dnd setting
Spriggan are knights of the invisible kingdom of Ylfe, with a highly hierarchical caste and titles such as masters, lords, and squires. Their hard armor is often dented from many battles they've survived. Only very young Seelie of their kind, who are very rarely encountered, do not have skin covered with scars and mysterious drawings. Immature Spriggan accompany more experienced warriors on their journeys, traveling in pairs or threes through the forest of Gaol. While they are not naturally loud or daring, it is immediately apparent that the squires yearn to impress their master at every turn. Spriggan are the heroes of many songs, hunting down those who thoughtlessly destroy the forest or act dishonorably. Sometimes they appear out of nowhere to guide the lost through treacherous swamps or mountaintops... for a disturbingly strange price, of course. Spriggan often make deals in exchange for their protection, desiring odd things, such as a rose from the garden, someone's singing voice, or even a firstborn child. The Spriggan hold to their own codes of honor, though the details are a secret to anyone but the Ylfe themselves. These are certainly not morally pure principles, as the offended Spriggan knights will not hesitate to brand an enemy with powerful curses that can cling to the foe's family for generations. It is said that the passage of the Spriggan, who march between our world and the Feywild, can be recognized by the presence of mushroom and plant circles. Woe to anyone who follows the green knights, as a person lost in the invisible world can get trapped there for eternity.
