Beautiful, alluring, the witchy, enchantress Morgan le Fay is both a healer & wise woman. In Arthurian legend she was, initially, a kind character & protector of King Arthur. As legends developed, so too did the unpredictable duality of her nature.

Been perusing some Arthurian lore this past bit, so I decided to Draw the Green Knight

“Who in your court is the bravest, oh King?
Let him take up my axe, and deal out his answer.
In a years time I shall return the blow in the same manner.”

131.) Garden of Avalon
Not gonna lie this had me bawling by the end lol.
Nasu's short retelling of the Arthurian legend is a simple but effective punch to the gut.
And serves as another beautiful reminder of how good a character Artoria is

My main design for Lionelle, my genderbent Sir Lionel from Arthurian legend and one of the stars of the webcomic I’m planning to launch in the next year. She’s both a knight of the Round Table and a princess of France. What do you think?

The Demon/Etrigan, could do solid as a Dark Fantasy. Again, nix the cookie-cutter aspect of cape flicks with this one. Arthurian flashbacks to present day? Hell, I can already picture the trailer. No one should know what it is until they hear, "Gone, gone the form of man..."

I grew up loving Pre-Raphaelite art to death. Arthurian legends, greek mythology, victorian women with long flowy hair doing something whimsical in the mystical forest. The kind of stuff A Song of Ice and Fire made fun of.
