“Weeping was her most common expression, So strongly was her heart set on him.” – A Selection of Verses Concerning The Maiden of Ascolot, the Stanzaic Morte Arthur (trans. Lou G Gringolet)
It’s Elaine day! I have a very special place in my heart for Elaine, and @gringolet Lou’s translation of her bits in the Stanzaic Morte is AMAZING. But also :((( so tragic. This piece is kind of a mesh between the Morte story and Tennyson’s story.
also a bonus Elaine and Gawain that i did as a warmup sketch because their friendship is VITAL to me:
ok so i was gonna do a whole lancelot comic and this was the first image but it looks bad so im gonna do the comic in a different style. HOWEVER while this is bad i also am proud of having improved enough to do this badly whereas before i would not be able to do it at all! :)
After they had cut off his head, They cut off all his limbs. They so disfigured the body That neither foot nor finger was left.
