Ywain and his best friend the medieval lion

(based off an idea from the server)

A little art dump of some Arthurian ladies!

To explain their designs:

-Ragnelle has vitiligo because idk, I just see her having that to make her yk, have fantasy or unique vibes

-Elaine has light blonde hair and light blue eyes to symbolise her innocent and naive personality and in her hands she's holding her letter dedicated to her unrequited love for Lancelot

-Enid, though actually a peasant girl by origin, is in very light pink to represent the patient nature she has with Geraint despite him constantly suspecting bad things about her

-Like her sister Morgana, Morgause also wears bold, dark colours, the only difference her having dark brunette hair and green eyes, and in personality, she's more poised.

-And finally, Laudine has a full blue wardrobe since she's The Lady of the Fountain, even having coins on her waist, and her headpiece is inspired by Howard Pyle's illustration of her.

“She is a character in Chrétien de Troyes's 12th-century romance Yvain, or, The Knight with the Lion and all of its adaptations, which include the Welsh tale of Owain, or the Lady of the Fountain and the German epic Iwein by Hartmann von Aue. Usually known as the Lady of the Fountain, she becomes the wife of the poem's protagonist, Yvain, one of the knights of King Arthur's Round Table, after he kills her husband, but later spurns the knight-errant when he neglects her for heroic adventure, only to take him back in the end.”
