Day 22: The Faerie Knight
Hello Reader, another interesting fellow today - he’s essentially a half-elf of arthurian origins, and having been obsessed with elves since discovering Warhammer, I couldn’t resist painting him. |
Day 22: The Faerie Knight The Faerie Knight was a bastard son of Tom a'Lincoln, known as the Red Rose Knight, and Caelia, the Faerie Queen. Tom was in turn a bastard of King Arthur’s, from his affair with a woman named Angelica. Thus, the Faerie knight was not just half-human and half-fae, but also grandchild to Arthur. The Faerie Knight’s real name may have been Loswello, though he was known as ‘Oberon the Second’. He inherited multiple magical talents from his mother, the Faerie Queen, and went on many adventures with his better known half-brother, the Black Knight, another bastard of the Red Rose Knight.

Until Merlin engineered the reveal of his bastard son Arthur, through the drawing of the sword in the stone. Arthur’s crowning led to a rebellion by eleven minor kings, which...
31st March 2023 Hello Reader, it’s the second to last portrait! This one of Lancelot started as just me messing about doodling, so that’s why the video starts with some random knight drawing! Day 30: Sir Lancelot Lancelot was an orphan raised by the fae Lady of the Lake, destined to achieve great things. Through unrivalled skill in combat, he became the personal champion of Arthur's wife, Queen Guinevere; and soon after, her secret lover. Once Guinevere’s infidelity was revealed to Arthur he...
30th March 2023 It’s the home stretch! Just what I’d call ’the big 3‘ characters remain, and here’s one of them: the legendary Merlin! Somehow my sketch accidently ended up looking just like Gandalf; I didn‘t plan to, and didn’t use a reference, I swear to God! Day 29: Merlin Merlin was the spawn of an infernal union; the son of a demon and human woman, immediately baptised at birth and freed from Satan’s clutches and delivered into service of God. He was imbued with great supernatural...
