Huma, a young knight of Solamnia eager for prowess and still unaware of the glorious destiny that awaits him, takes his guard duty on a miserable, rainy evening. Mud splashes on the gleaming armor and tents of the camp, but he carries out his duty without hesitation. Looming in the background there’s his uncle, sir Rennard.
“Young Huma”, is an illustration commissioned by the Dragonlance Nexus for the project “The Dark Patrol”, a DnD 5 game manual which includes an adventure, and a novelette by Dragonlance fantasy author Richard Knaak.
Pencil and paper sketch + digital redraw and painting with Cintiq and Photoshop. Painted in July 2024, was published in July 2025.
Details and work in progress
📕 The manual “Huma: Before the Lance – The Dark Patrol” by the Dragonlance Nexus and Richard Knaak contains 3 original paintings by me, and various decorative elements.
