Series Synopsis
Space Knights is an irreverent, genre-mashing comedy about Dyngarth, the oft overlooked “waste master” of Geltrevene, whose quest for purpose beyond shoveling shite is annoyingly hijacked by three oracles claiming to know his true destiny. With the help of his tentacle-flailing, one-eyed best friend and confidante Pender Sudds, Dyn leaves both Geltrevene and the oracles behind, to embark instead on an epic(ish) Arthurian adventure in the company of an outlaw group known as the Seekers.
But destinies are hard to outrun, even in a flying tavern. As Dyn and Sudds trod across plains and planets they’ve never trodden, Dyn finds it increasingly difficult to avoid the conflicted plots staging the fall of King Daveon, the celebrated ruler of the galaxy. And while Dyn grapples with his clouded destiny, he and Sudds encounter plenty of welcome distractions along the way, from getaway barns to all-knowing donkeys, crusading bards to supercharged longswords, windmill-powered space to death-defying knight.
Background
Space Knights was first born over 10 years ago, in Taylor Dahl's first semester at community college, when he took a "Science Fiction Literature and Film" course. With a blank slate to create anything he wanted for the final project, as long as it was science fiction-related, Taylor made a very short, very amateur film entitled "Space Knights". Now Taylor's decided to revive the project as an animated series to see just how far his creative skill set has developed in the last decade. And while his art and design skills have grown tremendously, Taylor's been looking for some writers to bring his freaky-feudal world to life. Enter Second Skye, where freaky-feudal is just another Friday (not really, but that line surprisingly got us the job). Armed with Taylor's creative vision, we've crafted a story to match the already hilarious, wonderfully vibrant universe of Space Knights.
