Knight of the Desert - Dark Souls with Sabaku no Maiku

Artwork for an hypothetical "Desert Knight set" - armour, sword, shield - in the universe of Dark Souls' series, inspired by content creator Sabaku no Maiku and his Covenant of the Desert. A gilded armour built to be protective but light, to not weight down these knights who preferred fast and adaptive combat; that's also the reason why a perfectly balanced longsword was their weapon of choice. The shield was mostly used to deflect incoming attacks, but had a great importance bearing their covenant's symbols.
