Description
Some think that chivalry has died long ago. If it ever had, it done so while in service...βIt is not the critic who counts: not
the man who points out how the
strong man stumbles or where the doer
of deeds could have done better. The
credit belongs to the man who is
actually in the arena, whose face is
marred by dust and sweat and blood,
who strives valiantly, who errs and
comes up short again and again,
because there is no effort without
error or shortcoming, but who knows
the great enthusiasms, the great
devotions, who spends himself for a
worthy cause; who, at the best,
knows, in the end, the triumph of high
achievement, and who, at the worst, if
he fails, at least he fails while daring
greatly, so that his place shall never be
with those cold and timid souls who
knew neither victory nor defeat.β
Theodore Roosevelt

Indeed, the knight's good deeds will be remembered because he dared to try and uphold his code of honor. A most worthy achievement.Β

Sorry for the late reply. If you are interested in the painting it's available for a reasonable licensing fee. Also if you prefer I can paint a custom fantasy illustration for your card game as a commission. Thanks for visiting my gallery.

I love the composition but the lighting doesn't seem to carry off his armor to the ground.

Thanks
I agree I could have work with the lighting more. I wish I had a real armor at hand to study

Wouldn't that be nice? Anyway, you could always call it "battle fatigue" or dust. I know that older suits of armor lose their luster almost completely.
