Osric: ✨HOLY + ICE?

The foolishness of yesterday is over and I'm excited to show you how the actual painting turned out!! I had so much fun with this one - god I love moody gothic fantasy cityscapes like this one here showing the holy city. Heavily inspired by Dark Souls!! And the details of Osric's armor were a blast to design. I enjoyed creating some common ground with Verrix's armor, since they're fighting on the same team together, but also making some unique variations.

I thought long and hard over his name, and ultimately Osric was the one I liked from my list the most. Ozzie for short!! I see this guy as being a close comrade of Verrix's, but different in personality: where Verrix is stern and disciplined, Osric is cocky and impulsive. He's gifted with impressive combat prowess and isn't afraid to show off when battling demons. Despite being from the Ice element, he's a hot-blooded guy - I kinda like that twist on things (and, when we eventually meet the Holy+Fire character, I think we'll see a similar twist where he'll be more cool-headed).
