While I was drawing this art, I recalled my long-standing thoughts about Gwaine and, in principle, thoughts about his character. Of course, I'm attracted to his lightness, but I'm also interested in his understatement. Such minor characters have always been interesting to me because their story is hidden in details that are very entertaining to catch, like hunting. Gwaine is a great example of this. ↓↓

Little is known about him in the series, and all we have is the consequences of his life and what he himself told. And is he a reliable storyteller? It is also not known. He's a reveler, an adventurer, a hedonist, and a Don Juan. The fact that he has not yet acquired a home may indicate that he is running from something, trying to disappear into ale, people and distant lands. Or that, on the contrary, he is trying to find something. And the fact that he became attached to Merlin very quickly speaks volumes, and it can be interpreted in different ways. Maybe he felt that there were big changes behind Merlin, or maybe it was a huge loneliness in him, or he saw someone from his past in him. You can also take apart his costume for a similar thing before he became a knight. He's a walking, wandering story with a bunch of little details. What's worth it is his necklace with a ring. Although it's more of an actor's possession, it adds a story to Gwain outside of the main plot.

A long time ago, I read an interesting article that the image of Sir Gawain is, in principle, very flexible and modern. He can be a valiant hero, a villain, a minor character, whatever you want. He is flexible in his human nature, always subject to doubt, can make mistakes, can be afraid of death, and this does not spoil him as the most courtly knight. Because a person is a priori multifaceted. And naturally, such diversity and inconsistency could not have been conceived, given that it was written by many people and at different times. and sometimes it seems like a bad thing about a character. But Gwaine is a centuries-old, legendary character and can be said to have become a kind of archetype of a knight. And it's even interesting that such deformations happen to him. Since the rest of the knights are much more unambiguous and concrete in their archetype than he is.

Gwaine from the series is no exception, he is charming in his simplicity, or at least which he shows us, he is sincere in this, and this may make his melancholy and sadness deeper. His hedonistic behavior may also have deeper causes (no matter how typical it is). As for me and my favorite trope, there is always a great deal of grief and tragedy behind the jester's mask. There is always something unbearable and inexpressible in words behind the unspoken.

The past that holds. I liked the idea of the sword from the last art, so I decided to continue with this idea. I love when something dark or sad fits into a seemingly carefree character like Gwain (from the show for sure). Naturally, this makes him deeper and allows you to resonate with him. I love him and buns like him.
