Gawain Project: Brothers & Sisters, p. 161

[sigune]

Ehm. Not a single line on paper for page 162 yet. Wish me luck...

***

Arthur has pulled the sword from the stone. Having, in one swoop, freed several British slaves as well as the Irish warrior Morholt, Arthur and his men now try to make it home before they get caught by a Saxon patrol. But they haven't got far when they run into King Pellinore of the Jutes, who challenges Arthur to a fight...




Concrit is still and always welcome :).

New page next Sunday! (if all goes well :p)

This very exciting!

Thank you!

I'm doing my best with the fight, now, but it's so difficult to draw XD. I hope it won't disappoint...

[mary-j-59.livejournal.com]

Yay! A new page! I am loving this. I also love how you blend the traditional story (I can't help seeing King Pellinore fighting with his helmet in the moonlight, a la T.H. White , whenever I read the name!) with the actual cultures of the time. Pellinore as a Jute! Who knew? Looking forward to more, as always.

(And I continue to love your Cai. :))

[sigune.livejournal.com]

Ahaha, my Pellinore is VERY different from White's :D! I wonder how you will feel about him when you get to know him a bit better... As for his being a Jute, I don't know, I have had him down as Danish ever since I made the connection between the '-nore' endings of Elsinore and Pellinore. Which is probably a completely silly reason, but there you go.

I'm glad you like Cai, because I like him too! He is also instrumental in my understanding of Arthur's character, which you may remember took me a long while to figure out. So I love Cai for helping me, too :p.

challenge

[anna mette bladt (from livejournal.com)]

Off course Arthur will accept the challenge - he is king Arthur, after all! But poor Cai - the look on his face in the second picture is perfect.
I'm not sure it will end good for Arthur, though.

Elsinore/Pellinore - I like that explanation. And why shouldn't he be a Jute. I'm sure he was!

Re: challenge

[sigune.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, I forgot to mention the second reason why I made him a Jute: he has a son called Thor (Tor[re] in the French-inspired texts)! He had to be Germanic, and he couldn't very well be an Angle or Saxon. So: Jute!

-I don't think Arthur *can* refuse without losing face, though Cai has the more sensible notion...
