Sword and Blade Unmasked

Now this picture's in a contest for the Sword and Blade Club!

So here are my versions of Sword and Blade without helmets.

I made them look like Bandits or Thieves, cause that's what they did before they became knights. In my version, Blade is secretly a girl, and Sword and Blade are both brother and sister. Sword is a few years older than Blade is, in their teens. I havn't come up with an official age yet, but they are both pretty young. I gave them anime-ish hair because the Kirby show is an anime and grey skin because their arms are exposed you know. I gave them horns because of the shape of their helmets. Sword's are much longer and bigger than Blade's because he's male, hence the bigger helmet. Blade's left horn is broken because of a fight with a Demon Beast long ago.
Dryadids are born with those markings on their faces, and they get an insignia branded on their hand of their master or lord who earns their complete loyalty.

I designed them as looking very freaky, like Gargoyles. I call them Dryadids. A tribal race similar to the Twili in Legend of Zelda. They have glowing red eyes that are sensitive to bright lights. On their planet, it's very dark there. Not exactly night time, but always in a state of night and day, twilight. They can see perfectly in the dark, and Dryadid's teeth are sharp and hard enough to crunch stone and bone.
They're primarily carnivors, and they have strict policies of loyalty and honor.
Sword and Blade are just youngsters, but when they grow older their teeth will really develope as well as their horns.

Sword is very a kind, but headstrong boy who does what he can to protect Blade, even when she doesn't need it. He's tried to forget and be strong after their home was destroyed, but he hasn't completly gotten over the deaths of their parents.
Blade is similar to her brother, though she's a bit more bashful than she'll admit. She's strong and tough, certainly no damsel in distress. From so much time pretending to be a boy, she's forgotten how to act like a girl. She is very sensitive about he looks though, and believes she's ugly.
