I painted this portrait of Sir Morien a while ago. He was yet another badass of the Round Table, half-brother to Sir Percival, and could deflect spears and arrows with his sword in the middle of combat, like a frickin' medieval jedi.

I find mythology interesting, so a while back while reading I had the sudden urge to paint Thor-but-bionic-arms. So I did and here he is. I also made him thick af, perhaps too thick. Is he too thick? I don't know if I'll do any other norse gods. Maybe

From the deepest darkest depths of the WIP folders of doom, a knight crawls, clinging to life. He looks up at me, and holding his sword aloft, begs for me to bless him with some time in the light.

I think this guy was the first time I realised I could just *not* paint a background, and people would still be into it. I even drew attention to the lack of background, by making his cape disappear into it, and people actually praised it! So I've been riding that ever since

Every now and then I'm lucky enough to have a commission that just kinda... lets me do whatever I want. If I remember right, this client just asked me to paint the Grim Reaper, however I felt like representing him. Coolest job in the world? Maybe

Just a close-up of a thing I'm working on, in which Sir Balin features as a central character and draws a cursed blade, unleashing a great doom upon the kingdom and spiraling the land into catastrophic consequences that would echo through centuries... Also shiny shiny shoulder!

A D&D commission from.... 2019? 2020? After my 'struggling-to-be-an-art-streamer' phase, I went through a period of doing a lot of characters for D&D players, and they basically enabled me to become a full-time freelancer

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 22/04/2026

Hesperus, God of the Evening Star Painted this guy a while back, when I was investigating Greek mythology a little, and also admiring Pete Mohrbacher's Angelarium artwork. Been tempted a couple times to paint some more characters and turn it into a series

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 20/04/2026

Cover I painted for Michael Michel's The Price of Power. I've heard the series is really solid, but when is it going to come out on audiobook?! 😭

'Voidscarred', another one for Games Workshop/Black Library! I used to collect Eldar, so naturally this one was super cool to paint for them.

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 15/04/2026

I put this one away in the WIP folder a while back; I really like the energy and the absurd fabric, but I'm not happy with my choices for the armour at all, and I think the pose could be pushed further. I think with some repainting and reposing it could turn out alright

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 13/04/2026

My first ever piece for Games Workshop, painted a couple years ago! The cover of Shade of Khaine; this was pretty much a dream come true, Warhammer has always been important to me since I was a kid, and gratefully I've done many more paintings for them since

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 11/04/2026

An old sketch that I like a lot and swear that one day I'll do something with it AND I STILL HAVEN'T

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 09/04/2026

The Crimson Dagger; this one's an old'un but golden! Still quite like the composition

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

A thing I've been messing with! Got carried away with brush experimentation on his armour, forgot to work on everything else....

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 04/04/2026

Practicing with some custom brushes and this guy came out.... and I have a good idea how to use him

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 02/04/2026

Sir Gawain, everyone knows him for the Green Knight story, but apparently he was also quite a ladies man, if his title 'The Maiden's Knight' is any indication. Also he's superhuman; when the sun is highest in the sky, it invigorates him with super strength. More than meets the eye!

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 26/03/2026

Endpaper I painted for the Broken Binding special edition of The Riftwar Saga by Raymond E. Feist. Had a good time with this one!

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 24/03/2026

Painted a few years ago; I was essentially trying to redesign angels with this one, but I wasn't very happy with the direction.

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 20/03/2026

A few years ago I was commissioned by a private client to paint this guy: Tekumseh the Accursed, Primarch of the lost XI Legiones Astartes 'The Solar Immortals'. Good fun!

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 19/03/2026

Sir Balan, brother to Balin; Balan is more of a side character in the stories, designed to complete Balin's story, and for me he's no different really! I just painted him cos I like his brother so much

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 16/03/2026

An older painting from my personal project, inspired by the Furies of mythology

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 13/03/2026

King Uther Pendragon, the Half-Dead King, father of Arthur. Poisoned, just like his elder brother Aurelius.

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 12/03/2026

One more of those pieces that was going somewhere, until it wasn't. Not sure what I'll do with this one!

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 11/03/2026

Pallas the Titan, who taught humanity strategy and tactics

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 10/03/2026

Another shiny knight, dragged from dark depths of the folders of doom

314221

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 09/03/2026

An old and messy work-in-progress of a Titan, which I think has some potential

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 07/03/2026

Sir Gaheris, slain by Lancelot during Guinevere's attempted execution

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 06/03/2026

A crop of an unfinished painting of Nyx, the primordial goddess of night, that I never figured out. I think I have some ideas for it though

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 05/03/2026

Yet more knights from the archives, I call this guy the 'Amphiptere Knight'

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 04/03/2026

Sir Bors the Younger, he should have way more fame! He, Galahad and Perceval went on the Grail Quest; the other two died, only Bors returned. He ruled Camelot after Arthur's death! Dude don't get enough respect.

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 03/03/2026

Detail from an unfinished painting from a few years ago.

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 02/03/2026

Sir Balin again, after he commits the Dolorous Stroke and gets half his face blown off (but not his arms, that's just me leaving them off so I have less to paint)

1966

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 27/02/2026

Something scifi for a change! I call this guy a Hounskull paladin

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 26/02/2026

SAGRAMORE!!!! I really like Sir Sagramore, so I wanted to make him look cool

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 24/02/2026

Man, the round brush is a beast of a thing. I have been using a lot more custom brushes recently, but looking at this I wanna go straight back to round brush only

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

Rhaenox, one of the 'dragons' of my setting

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 19/02/2026

'Vanity', a demon I'm working on for my personal thing

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 18/02/2026

I've had this WIP for so long, and always think it's cool when I see it, and then never work on it 😩

Christopher Cant @christophercant.bsky.social · 17/02/2026

Another knight today; Segurant the Brown, the original Arthurian monster hunter! I painted the first version of this for myself, and then was commissioned to expand it for a limited edition mousepad
