SciFi and Fantasy Art Greydale by Benjamin F Battiste

This is of my Paladin character, Greydale. He worships Helm, and carries the holy sword, The Hand of Helm, as well as the shield of earth. Had a lot of fun with this character, playing him for nearly three years. He became a she after finding a belt that I had to try on, and came back as a male in a complicated ressurection process. The paladin's adventures took him through three AD&D universes, and 10,000 years of time.

20 Apr 2002	Aum	Loading... You know, this picture is like perfect, but I love the simple BnW background best... Too many people here try too hard to make complex PS backgrounds and just mess up their whole picture... Yours give it a storybook feel. And, oh yeah, paladins use only swords, never blunt objects (those are barbarians and trolls.)
14 Jun 2002	Savant	Loading... I know what you mean about the "BELT" happend to me too.. darn i hate kenders... anyway.. love the picture.. looks like what i would imagine a servant of helm to be

4 Jan 2003	ChaoticGood	Loading... To answer the question about paladin weaponry: In Second Edition D&D (AD&D to those of us who experienced it), CLERICS (not Paladins) were limited to blunt weapons. The Holy Avenger (Holy Longsword +5) is the classic Paladin's weapon... the Hand of Helm is a variation of that weapon. I will repeat the comment about the background giving this drawing a story-book feel. As impressive as your detailing and shadin are, I think your most impressive skill is in the way you seem to instinctively know just how much background is enough... You manage to never leave your subject hanging, while never detracting from your subject, either.
