The Winter Warrior by Kodalynx

The Winter Warrior

Kodalynx

The sweeping blast, the sky o’ercast,
The joyless winter day
Let others fear, to me more dear
Than all the pride of May.

I...am truly at a loss for words as to the sheer presence and detail of this piece. felfi and rogueliger, two truly phenomenal artists who collaborate on incredible works, have made Koda into an absolutely real, realistic character here in art worthy of the best fantasy novel covers. He looks like something of legend.

Koda is a Siberian lynx, thick-limbed, strong, and perfectly content proceeding in sharp-eared silence through a snowy wood on a day that would have others suffering frostbite in minutes. This is his element. It looks like he's on a journey, clothed and cloaked, or perhaps searching for something or someone.

He dresses simply, practically for a fight, but not in peasant rags. The gold threads of his inner cloak and the intricate embroidery on his padded cloth armor over mail show that he has a bit of noble pride to his person.

Here, he seems to have noticed a threat of some sort, he's drawn his one-handed sword, but not enough of a threat to draw the greatsword on his back and prepare for a true battle.

A wary, capable lynx in a silent and frozen world. This is what these two artists have brought to realistic life, and I am grateful for that!
