Tomorrow Camelot knights will lauch a decisive attack against Mordred and his minions... but today it is just time to rest, to prepare body and spirit to the forthcoming battle.

2004 - Rough sketch with sanguine pencil - coloured version should hopefully follow soon ;)

I love this scene, there is so much interaction. The womans clothes are beautifully draped, but the man standing on the left looks like he's standing in a hole, or he as short legs?

:-) Cristina Marsi replies: "*lol* Tou are right, funny i didn't notice before. But i know why it is, i was drawing real people and they kept moving so I just took that guy with the bow and placed him in a suitable part of the drawing, without noticing noticing that he should have been a bit forward. Oh well, lets say the ground is not that even and there is a hole behind that equipment 10"

I love pictures like this that are full of life and movement. It's very well done. ^^

:-) Cristina Marsi replies: "Thank you 2As for the movement I should thank the actors that were actually playing this scene while i was trying to draw it (yup, it is done from real life). They were moving faaaaar too much for my liking 12"

I can see it in front of me. The Knights could be Garetjax, Jadow and Mint. The Knightess, as I asume it is, could be Valkris or Ladychris or Poesia or even Carlisto (hint hint 12 ) getting themself ready for the attack to come. Can not wait to see it in a coloured version.. *hugs snuggles*

This is really good. Looking forward to seeing the coloured version but this one looks great as it is.
I was kinda hoping the knightess would be Zyanna. ;-)
I can just picture this in the Knights Guild, only I think there would be more spammy stuff going on. 1
As usual, keep it up Cristina.
*hugs*

:-) Cristina Marsi replies: "I actually havent planned to give a specific name to the chars in this picture, since they have been drawn after a bunch of actors and although giving the Camelot feeling they don't reproduce exactly the idea i have in my head of my nanny friends. So everybody is free to see his/her favourite chars here 2"

Why are they wearing templer crosses if they’re Arthurian knights?
