Now, I think knights (and therefore knight paper dolls) come in several stripes. There’s the noble white knight on the noble white steed doing whatever noble white knights on noble white steeds do, but then there’s also the down and dirty, rough and tumble knight who will bite you if that seems like the best to survive the night. This knight
As you might have guessed, today’s Mia knight paper doll is definitely of the second variety.
You see, this version of Mia grew up in the rough streets of a fantasy city. Her choices were to become a criminal or become a Guard and she went the guard route. She’s a graduate from the school of hard knocks, but she’ll defend the city and take down anyone who doubts her ability to do so.
(I always feel a tiny bit absurd when I write this stuff about my paper dolls.)
I knew I wanted to do another warrior Marisole Monday & Friends paper doll. Not just a girl with some weapons, but an actual knight paper doll. That took a little thought, because I’ve done warriors in the past. I’ve got a ninja, a knight in color and black and white. Plus my Silk and Steel warrior whose a little bit absurd in color or black and white as well.
Given that I had already got quite a few warriors, I wanted to do something different. So, I pawed around Pinterest for a while looking for ideas and settled on a city-guard like character. Maybe I’ve ready to many Terry Pratchett novels, but I really liked the idea of a city-guard/policeman type character. That’s how we ended up with this particular paper doll design.
I am particularly pleased with how her chain-mail came out.
Now, I will confess that I had planned to end the year on a modern paper doll, but I asked my patrons on Patreon what I should wrap with and several of them suggested a fantasy set. Anyone is, of course, welcome to join the Patreon to support the blog.
This set is awesome! Thank you, and Merry Christmas!
Thank you. Merry Christmas to you too.
“Whoa” was my reaction to this set. Its awesome!
Thank you. 🙂 I’m pleased with her.
absolutely love the chain mail on this ~ it’s awesome!
also, your descriptions are great. you write good marketing copy!
i know hanukkah is over, but i hope you enjoy some time off this week for the winter holidays! looking foward to all the stuff you’ve got coming in the New Year!
: D
Oh yes. One of the perks of academic work is a long vacation while the campus is closed over the winter holidays. 🙂
Ah, Terry Pratchet. Have you read the Wee Free Men? That one’s my favourite. 😀
This Mia is probably my favourite by far.
I have read Wee Free Men (in fact, you’d be hard pressed to come up with a Pratchett novel I haven’t read). My favorite of the Tiffany books is Hat Full of Sky.
Yea, the Wee Free Men taught me how to speak with a Scottish accent. Hat Full of Sky is a good one. I haven’t read the last one yet though, is it good?
There is no such thing as reading too much Pratchett! 🙂 She could almost be Angua… who is one of my favorites. 🙂
Yes, I liked Angua, too.
I love her maille! She is fantastic. 🙂
Thank you. Her maile was a pain, but I like how it came out.
oh nice merry Christmas!
