A towering Minotaur Paladin stands proudly in a peaceful, sunlit meadow, his expression calm and welcoming, exuding both strength and compassion. Clad in gleaming silver and gold armor adorned with sunburst and radiant cross motifs, he looks every bit the noble guardian of the innocent. Mounted on the outer sides of his forearms are two intricately crafted shield halves, each engraved with half of a holy symbol. These halves are not handheld but secured to the backs of his forearms, designed to interlock perfectly into a single, formidable shield when he raises his arms together in defense. The edges of each shield are curved and engraved to match, clearly engineered to combine seamlessly into a unified emblem of protection and divine might. His stance is relaxed yet confident, arms at his sides to display the shield halves clearly, while a gentle breeze flows through the vibrant grass and distant trees behind him. The warm, natural light and serene background reinforce his role not just as a warrior, but as a kind and watchful protector. See more
