Hi! Askasknot here with a new model for you guys!

So I have been a fan of the Type-moon universe a good while now, 
and decided to make Lancer Artoria Pendragon, to show my appreciation.

2020 Update: I have updated the model, a new face and fixst many flaws!
If you have questions, ideas about what to make next, Is interested in hiring me for work or just want to talk. leave a comment XD
Or contact me at : Asktegler@gmail.com

What inspired me to make this piece was this story: [Link](https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/unsung-heroes-for-want-of-a-crown-worm-fate-series.687703/)

programs used: Photoshop, Gimp and Blender.

Chinese knot is a hand-made handicraft. The sentiment and wisdom it shows is just one side of the ancient civilization of the Han nationality.  It was originally sewn and knotted in the Paleolithic age, and then extended to the Han Dynasty. It has evolved into today's decorative craft. The jade worn by people in Zhou Dynasty was often decorated with Chinese knot, while the bronze wares in Warring States period also had the pattern of Chinese knot. It was not until the Qing Dynasty that Chinese knot really became a popular art.

If hunting is an art! This is a damn torture!

**What we need to do this experiment:**

- 1º A knot in the brain
- 2º An iron hulk with locking mechanisms
- 3º Smell very bad, (I recommend two weeks without taking a shower)
- 4º to have obtained the patience of a Buddhist monk
- 5º damn, put "bait" for flies, nothing to wear lingerie

The protuberance or topknot on the head (ushnisha) and the raised spot on the forehead (urna) are standard features of the Buddha. The wavy hair combed back from the face is characteristic of Buddha figures from Gandhara. It was only during the early decades of the 1st century AD that the first Buddha images began to appear."

Recumbent 15th-century chamfered cross-slab grave-cover measuring 1.9m long by 0.09m thick, the base of the slab measures 0.64m wide which narrows to 0.54m, in the south-east corner of the chancel of Portumna Dominican Friary church (GA127-019----), Co. Galway. Chamfered slab the top of which has a sunburst-motif with human face representing Christ flanked by a serpent/monster with open jaws, dotted body and curving tail which runs across onto the the sunurst motif.  A triangular-shaped motif above the open jaws may represent the tongue of the serpent with fish beneath. Above this there is an eight pointed encircled rosette and an eight armed encircled cross between which there are two human heads above which there is a base for the shaft of the central cross.  Two four cornered knots either side of the shaft of the central cross which forms the centre of six rows of three encircled crosses with vine leaf terminals representing the blood of Christ.

Recumbent 15th-century chamfered cross-slab grave-cover measuring 1.91m long by 0.09m thick, the slab measures 0.88m wide which tapers to 0.74m, in the centre of the chancel of Portumna Dominican Friary church (GA127-019----), Co. Galway. The floriated Latin Cross is framed within a floriated border.  The shaft of the cross rises from an animal/possible lion based on possible depiction of mane running around the face of the animal.  Described in the Urban Archaeological Survey of County Galway as 'a slab, bears a Latin cross in low relief. The cross shaft (Wth 0.19m) is decorated with a repeated floral motif and there is a knotwork circle near the crossing. Each arm consists of a square panel: that to the S bears a Greek cross which was formed by subdividing the square into four segments decorated with fleur-de-lis motifs. The panel to the N has one large rosette.  An inscription below the N arm reads ‘HERN(?)LI’.  For more details visit: https://tinyurl.com/4fcx6msj

Polychrome drum of the type known as Pax, classified as an “arm drum.” The surface is decorated with ten figures identified as musicians and dancers.  Within the latter group, a principal dancing figure is depicted performing with two sticks tipped with pompons, wearing a knotted maxtatl and a feathered headdress. Behind him, three seated figures appear to observe him with open mouths, as if singing; one of them holds a turtle shell. In front of the dancer, a procession of three figures advances toward him, wearing textile headdresses and jaguar-skin skirts, and carrying what appear to be rattles in their hands. Probably from the Alta and Baja Verapaz region. The piece has been restored.

Drum

This is a one-stroke cross-shaped knot domain transformed into a closed tubular mesh with woven crossings and verified topology. 
Generated, not hand-modeled: the Celtic Cross starts as a gate-constrained one-stroke path on a 30-grid cross domain, then becomes a Catmull–Rom ribbon and a 10-sided tube via parallel-transport framing and z-lift weaving. 
Its unique mechanism is a ring inscribed into four arms, with knotwork continuously filling both the circle and the axial cross
The generator builds it as a circular ring inscribed in a four-arm cross, then fills both the ring and the arms with continuous knotwork so the form reads as one braided spatial system. 
In 3D, the Celtic Cross gains a strong ceremonial mass: the central ring stabilizes the object while the four arms extend as balanced directional axes, giving the piece the presence of a carved ritual sign translated into full volumetric topology.

**Material:** Antler

**Dimensions:** 13,6 × 1,8 cm

**Dating:** 	568-710 CE

The tool is made of antler, and is possibly one of the tines of a red deer antler. It has been hollowed out at the thicker end, and features a central perforation, decorated with a diamond and dot pattern. 
In older literature, such objects of unknown function are identified as devices to loosening tight knots. On occasion, similarly decorated antler segments have been utilised as components of horse bridles. The antler segments were attached to the bridle bit by means of a central perforation.

This object was digitized through the ‘Kulturerbe digital’ program of the Federal Ministry for Arts, Culture, Public Service and Sport.

Phi Resonance Fibonacci Knot explores resonance through a compact knot structure shaped by proportional logic associated with Fibonacci growth and phi-like harmonic order. 

The form appears as a self-returning geometric loop: balanced, cyclical, and tightly bound, yet still fluid in motion. It reads like a condensed resonance diagram — part knot, part orbit, part encoded signal. 

Visually, the object suggests that harmony can be expressed not only as pitch relationships, but also as recurrence, proportion, and rotational coherence. 

A small structure, but conceptually dense: a geometric signature of rhythmic return and harmonic recursion.

This object is a one-stroke dense knot domain extruded into a closed 3D tube mesh, using the PAPP-OSG route from constrained path to validated woven geometry.
Generated, not hand-modeled: the Dara Knot begins as a gate-constrained one-stroke path on a 32-grid dense circular domain, then is materialized as a Catmull–Rom ribbon and a 10-sided tube with parallel-transport framing and z-lift weaving. Its signature is maximum crossing density packed into a single closed oak-root knot field.
Dara Knot is the most compact and crossing-rich of the set: a filled circular Celtic field built to maximize interlace density, so the eye reads not a single emblem but a continuous root-like network. Inspired by the oak-root 
Dara tradition, it behaves like a woven infrastructure inside a disc boundary, with compressed over/under rhythm, layered continuity, and strong visual depth.

The General Figure, the highest-ranking statue in the Qin Terracotta Army, dates to the Qin Dynasty (c. 3rd century BCE). Its defining attributes are the pheasant-feather crown​ and colored fish-scale armor​ with decorative knots. The figure commands authority with a stern expression and upright posture. Crafted using mold-and-sculpting techniques, it was originally fully painted. Accidentally discovered in 1974​ in Lintong, Shaanxi, during a well-digging, it was later excavated, providing invaluable evidence of Qin military and artistic achievements.

A (21,13) torus knot — where 21 and 13 are consecutive Fibonacci numbers F(8) and F(7). 

The ratio p/q = 1.61538... approximates the golden ratio φ with Δ = 0.0026, making this a topological embedding of φ convergence.

Anatomy: 218,400 vertices, 420,000 faces, 638,400 edges. Built with exact Frenet-Serret frames (TNB orthogonality verified to 0.000000). 

The tube is a true polygon mesh, not wireframe — 8,400 core curve points × 24-sided cross-sections.

Color = Geometry: Vertex color encodes local curvature κ (warm = high bending) and torsion τ (violet shift at twist peaks). 

Brightness tracks radial position on the torus. 48,000 unique colors, zero cosmetic.

Inner Ribbon: A Seifert-inspired ribbon surface (16,800 faces) runs inside the tube, revealing the knot's twist structure and linking number = 273.

Topology: 21 full azimuthal turns, 26 meridional crossings. Single connected solid.
