Description
Arthur runs camelot after he pulls the sword from the stone to win the kingdom... The magician to Arthur is Merlin, and he's the famous wizard of the time. Arthur gets control of the kingdom through mostly warfare and pyrotechnics and sorcery, and Camelot is the shining gold happy city. The round table (round because no one chair is more important than the other) warriors, including lancelot (in the picture) are bored and at home, getting fat and makin babies, and they get restless. Lancelot falls in love with Guinevere, Arthur's wife and the queen... and have an affair, but they both love Arthur too, so this makes them really quite sad about the whole thing. Luckily, Arthur has come up with the quest for the holy grail, and thus the round table warriors pack their shiny metal bits, and go back to questing. Guinevere, however, wants a proper farewell, and so she steals Merlin's time device and takes a few hours to say goodbye to Lancelot properly.

The above is just a small summary of the Arthurian legend, with the last sentence being a silly added detail by me.

Drawing Info:
Mediums: Prismacolor Colored Pencils, Micron Pigma .005, HB graphite for sketching.
Paper: Heavyweight Cold Press Smooth Bristol by Strathmore
Time: approximately 29 hours
References: by `lockstock and ~Cobweb-stock
Progression info: [link]
Translation: [link]

I started out looking at the Lovers Packs during the sketch phase, but when I was doing the colorwork, I wasn't looking at the photos - this is mostly doodling during the holiday events and such. I'm working on a storybook illustration style, and so this is mostly fun practice as usual.

Thanks for lookin!
