Sky-Guard-ian

About this image

"Yeah, no, that title's just silly."

"Sheesh, be quiet! It's a combination of 'Skyguard' and 'Guardian'. I thought you of all people would be clever enough to get it, little dragon?"

"Oh, 'I' got it alright. But do you really expect everybody else to? Most don't even know 'either' of the terms!"

Well, as I was going to explain before I got rudely interrupted there, this is a combination of the Skyguard Suit/Armor some may already know I was working on over the last months and the so-called "Guardian Battle Armor", in itself a combination of an already released outfit of mine named Drake's Guardian Equipment and one of Drake's all-time favorites, the Silverlight Armor by Jojjo (or better yet the male conversion thereof created by AlienSlof, which I can't seem to find anywhere anymore since her website disappeared, but I think I found a, seemingly authorized, compilation including it) which so far has never seen the light of day or a release, yet.

"And let me guess, who's to blame for this again?"

I can't even recall having shown any pictures of it around back then, but coming to think of it, I was actually testing parts of it while taking pictures of the Drake's Gone Wolven and Night Flyer series. Ah, the memories. Nevermind. This is what happens when you wear uniform parts over the suit parts, and dare I say, it's quite befitting Drake?

"Alright, enough of it. Get to the point! What are we seeing here, exactly? And by 'we' I mean 'them', 'course I created it, after all."

"Oh, who did again? Aren't you forgetting that everything 'you' do only happens in 'my' imagination? Any designs 'you' come up with, 'I' imagined first?"

"Yeah, fine, I give you that much. But don't forget the basic concepts of imagination and autonomous beings living therein! You may have imagined 'me' first and foremost, but everything 'I' came up with after that point you merely 'watched' me doing and then put it into your modeling app to the best of your limited ability. So... give credit where credit is due, my creator."

"Ahem, I really hate to break it to you, little dragon, but those so-called 'concepts' you mentioned in themselves were only 'made up' by myself, so their validity is highly debatable at best. Let's not mix up the two distinct worlds we live in, will you? Your's is only imagination, mine's reality."

"Now 'that' is something I can agree on is 'debatable'. Stick to your beliefs, but honor my words, for time will come when we will see who's right."

Oh, my, never argue with a 3+ centuries old dragon, you can only loose, should've kept it in mind!... Well, "to the point", wasn't it?

In this here picture above you see Drake sporting the 'uniform' version of the set. He's wearing the full Skyguard 'suit' underneath, even though you can't see most of it, with rank insignia around his neck, long-legged uniform/combat trousers pulled over it, long fingerless gloves and boots without armor parts, and the long-sleeved black leather coat and a matching hood with silver trimming put over it.

Excuse the pose. He couldn't find anything better fitting the formal attire in this right now very limited collection of only basic pose mods of mine.
