Full view please~

Why I suddenly draw this? Three days ago, I rent a manga titled Al Taz...I forgot the rest XD. The story is about King Arthur's knight, Lancelot (Launcelot du Lac). From this manga, I got interested in the Knights of the Round Table story.

Why Lancelot?
I found that his story is very interesting. Lancelot is the son of King Ban of Benwick and Elaine. While Lancelot is an infant, his father is driven from his kingdom by his enemy Claudas de la Deserte. Ban and Elaine flee, carrying the child with them. As Elaine is tending to her wounded husband, Lancelot is carried off by the Lady of the Lake who raises the child in her magical kingdom. It is from this upbringing that Lancelot earns the surname, du lac (English: "of the lake").

Lancelot's mythical sword Arondight is given to him by the Lady of the Lake. According to legend the sword was moulded by the stars and is a crystallisation of the hopes and dreams of all people. Arondight is said to be difficult to blunt. Later on, Lancelot uses Arondight to slay Gawain's younger brother Gareth since King Arthur wanted him to do so. This act turns his sword from being a sacred sword into a cursed sword.

Wow, I love wiki


Haha, I fell in love with his story, so i tried to draw him with the sword. Well, maybe the real Lancelot isn't this...good looking And I don't know how the sword looks like (forgot to googling it XDD)

Pencil sketch scanned, then traced digitally in SAI. I mainly used SAI to color this, but for the leaves on the tree in the BG and the glowing circles, I used photoshop 7.0.

What do you think about my coloring style like this? I need critics and comments please~
