Artist's Comments

I used Gustave Doré's picture of Camelot as a source of ideas. I've never really learned how to draw clouds so the sky doesn't look that good, but apart from that... I'm quite happy with this.

Full view, please

Is the figure Lancelot? This is amazing! You can do clouds better than I can...

I don't really even know who Lancelot is, sorry ^^; I mean, well, I've heard of the name, but King Arthur & Co. aren't exactly my speciality. I just once saw a small picture (around 5X5 cm) of a landscape resembling this and wanted to make my own version.
I guess I should know who that figure is, after all, it's the only thing that I pretty much copied from the small picture. But if you want him to be Lancelot, then that's him all right :D

Oh, and thanks :) If my memory serves me right this is the first time anyone has used word 'amazing' in a comment I've recieved.

when Lancelot arrived at court the other knights thought he wouldn't receive any interest from the ladies because his face wasn't traditionally handsome, but in fact every woman who saw him seemed to fall in love with him. lancelot himself was in love with Queen Guinevere, and their affair ended up breaking Camelot.

He was also the father of Galahad; the perfect knight, who found the holy grail.

and i think the pic is amazing; it's got quite complicated perspective.

Thanks for a comment and info :D
As a kid I never really heard stories about holy grail or Lancelot or anything like that. I mean, Finnish kindergardens or schools don't bother deal with those and they aren't part of Saturday morning cartoons either. Instead, in schools there's some focus on Finnish national epos "Kalevala" which basically is same thing to Finns that tales of Hercules and such are to Greek. Not that I know that much about Kalevala either ^^;

I love the whole camelot fairy tale, and I think you really showed what camelot could look like . It looks like a weary knight returning home, his first glimpse of the castle. Really beautiful
