I had a good time with it this week. I had to do alot of research and it was almost overwhelming. Because the Arthurian legends are such a popular subject; from Arthur Rackham to N.C. Wyeth to J.W. Waterhouse many great artist have touched on the subject.
The key for me is to filter it down to what I like and try to give it my own spin. I think my main touchstones will be Byzantine, Medieval, and Celtic art. The early images of Christ at those time periods have a flatness and an angularity but also use intricate curves that I really like.
I now finally have some direction, and I'm getting a better idea of the style I want to aim for. Now I just need to keep pushing forward.
