Never delete or throw away a sketch again, here's how to rework old art into new illustrations using Procreate. Procreate
Sometimes the background plays a huge role in defining your character. An environment can strengthen the characteristics of your figure. However, the opposite can also be true. A simple painterly setting will do for my knight, since all we'll need to know about the illustration will be actually focused on our character itself. But I will attempt some possible archetypes and symbolism in the background, to hint at his identity.

How much of him is really… original? Never stop pushing your ideas.After the last few brushstrokes here and there, some colour adjustments and overall checks… behold the Knight of the Red Sun! From the ashes of an older illustration folder comes this behemoth of a warrior.
