Knights of the Abyss

Hey everyone, here is my new work.

This we are going back to waters with

Knights of the Abyss

An envoy has arrived from the deep. Two seahorse knights come bearing a message of peace and good fortune up ahead, but first they are here to help you navigate through the dark waters.

I went pretty far into the details with this one, though it is absolutely not trying to be a realistic rendition of a seahorse- albeit i did quite enjoy studying them for it. This is one is an imaginary one with little hints to a dragon. It is about symbolism and workings of the mind. There is of course a lot of meaning associated with the real ones, the beautiful and fascinating creatures they are. THey´re said to symbolise good luck strength, protection and fatherhood to mention a few. They are good place to start when interpreting a work but the real meaningful part of the art, is not in the symbols you can read about. It is in the reflection of it all, in the abyss. This a representation of something coming from the deep dark place, an ambassador or a champion.

I made this into an unusual edition of 2 NFTs.
these represent the two knights, which will be also reappearing in a future work.
