Nameless King and his Stormdrake from Dark Souls 3

My very first Dark Souls fanart. I’m a big dragon fan since my childhood, and I’m sad that it took me this long to notice, this game is full of them.

Hello people, I took a bit of break from uploading art on tumblr. I cared more about my deviantart, there you can check out my drawings, and commission information. If you’re interested in commissioning me in money with paypal, please send me a message. 

The Nameless King, ally of the ancient dragons, fought beside the Stormdrake in countless battles. When the great beast fell, the king claimed his soul, as was the custom in the age of the gods. 

Nameless King from Dark Souls 3

Quick Drawing, inspired by the in-game Description of his soul:

The Nameless King was once a dragon-slaying god of war, before he sacrificed everything to ally himself with the ancient dragons

While I was brainstorming the sequel for my Deities picture, I thought: What if the Nameless King (and his Dragons) defeated Gwyn? Plus I wanna draw something in my usual artstyle, and what better subject than my favorite Dark Souls character?

For this pic, I will refer to him as Gwyntaran, God of War and Lord of Dragons. I wanted to give this version of NK a vibe of a Conqueror, the god who overcame the wrath of the Lord of Sunlight and took his father’s crown and greatsword for his own. Even his shoulder armor is modified to look more like Gwyn’s. As a symbol of his power, drakes (like the hellkite drake), wyverns and a certain Darkeater guard and watch over the skies of Anor Londo, and storms have as much presence as the sun. Despite this however, he lives a constant state of battle as there are many who’d probably still be loyal to his father, and thus it’s up to him to “quell” these loyalists. In battle, he wields the Dragonslayer Swordspear in his right hand, and the Great Lord Greatsword in his left.

He’s always the first on the frontlines and the last to leave, and his influence is felt from all corners of the world of DS, from Archdragon Peak to Anor Londo itself, with ambitions to go further east to Forossa (where he’s known as Faraam) and beyond. Perhaps even the Ringed City may fall under his circle of influence, rather than be used as a glorified prison as Gwyn intended. He travels around upon his trusty companion, the stormdrake, though now he has a whole host of mounts he could use to travel.

Drew my Blood Elf hunter with two little stormdrake whelps watching a thunderstorm(they're very VERY excited about it).

Took about 30 hours (way too long but I'm still discovering my workflow, got a long way to go)
