Commission for AutumnPumpkin8068 on Reddit Was an absolute blast drawing their #ForHonor OC! Full illustration with details on my Ko-Fi ko-fi.com/i/IB0S1262NOW

A For Honor original character, so she is 11th century/iron age flavored. She wears fully plated armor from head to toe - her helmet has a long horizontal slit for her eyes, with holes around her nose and mouth in a floral cross shape. Floral designs don her armor in gold. She has a gauntlet with the same design. She holds a rapier that she is wiping blood from on her poofy red sleeve. She also wears a red fabric around her waist.

New Crown & Anchor update postcard! We see two villains from Book 1 return - with a vengeance. Blagen, front: a portly, bearded black man with metal pauldrons and a big sash around his paunchy tummy. His hands have been replaced with technia, as Mact cut them off earlier. Naifri, back: she wears her wavy hair up in a ponytail and has a very mischeivous look on her face. She wears a coat with a big fluffy collar, with a dress underneath. These two are not here for a good time, or a long time.
