Description "They entered Kakariko Village with a presence reserved for either the most dangerous or most vicious of soldiers, and to the villagers who were there to witness their arrival they couldn’t tell if it they were both. Their footsteps shook the very ground beneath them with a deafening bang, their feet sinking into the ground underneath their enormous weight. There were only three of them, but even the Moblins occupying the village knew that they were the ones to be feared.

Dressed from head to two in a thickly coated armor that shined even in the moonlight, these beings moved sluggishly but obviously cared little for their lack of speed. While standing as tall as a regular Hylian, their enormous bulk left an impression of a towering figure swelling with intimidation. Strength rippled through each steel piece they possessed, strength that could tear a thousand men apart with just their bare hands. To amplify this threat even more, those very hands each held a menacing two-headed axe that would take at least twenty Hylian soldiers to lift. The hollow gaze in each of these creatures’ reinforced helmets made it clear that these axes weren’t just for intimidation; if need be, they could destroy an army single handedly with but one clean swipe."

I felt he portrayed their raw power perfectly. I only hope I did it justice.

Heheh, even da boyz'll have a tough job takin' em' down. I loved those guys because of the raw strength they possessed. You could just HEAR their might clanking in the armor they wore.

I loved battling Iron Knuckles...it was so much fun |D

Nice drawing. I like how they are looking around, it adds a lot to the picture. Usually I only see direct frontal views of these guys on fanart, never really any 'movement' to make them seem not like a statue.
