Gawain comic: The Darkest Hour, 4-6

"Like I said, you want to make him miserable, and yourself with it. That is why old Klingsor should lend a helping hand."
- Adolf Muschg, Der Rote Ritter (1993)



It's been one of those weeks... I haven't drawn nearly as much of the story as I'd hoped. Next week I should do better :-).

Do you remember my Gawain and Ragnell picture? It won me the third prize in the Arthurian Contest at deviantART :D. I'm really pleased with that - I wasn't really expecting it to do well. Almost all other entries were digital paintings and photomanips, so I thought the judges would think my black and white, inked lineart hopelessly old-fashioned. But apparently they liked it. Hee.

I must not forget to scan and post a few Arthurs that I sketched this week. The sketches are good news, because they mean I am getting to know Arthur - and he is pretty crucial in Gawain's story. Arthur scares me. He has to be really, really strong as a character, because he truly is the best-known figure in the entire story. And he's so difficult. Well, for me at least.

Anyway - let's return to the story. As always, constructive criticism is welcome!

What went before:
On a dark winter's night, a strange figure enters a stronghold. Who is he? What is he doing there? And has anyone escaped his sleeping spell?

Hopefully I can keep you interested ;-). I find that it is much easier to create interest than to offer a satisfying resolution! I have read too many disappointing endings. And now I must avoid those pitfalls myself... *grins*
