This one was actually done in seven minutes. I spent some extra time with black just to outline some features to make it seem less like a mess of blue.

Friend of mine suggested knight a long while back today. I decided to do knight and love interest. I wasn't quite sure how to draw the knight's exposed arm to the viewer's right, and the girl is a bit boyish looking. But, oh well.

The opinion I was thinking of while doing the sketch is a few moments before the knight has to leave again. Some regret, some solace, but no real desire to part from that position as inevitable that would be.
