Day 15: The Questing Beast

Well Hoi there! If you remember, we sketched King Pellinore a couple of days ago, the guy who hunts the Questing Beast.  I was thinking about what to sketch for today, and I realised, I should draw the bloody Questing Beast!

The Beast was born of a human woman; a princess who slept with a devil and gave birth to the abomination.

The strange creature has the head and neck of a snake, the body of a leopard, the haunches of a lion, and the feet of a deer.  Its name comes from the great noise that it emits from its belly, a barking like "thirty couple hounds questing".

Pellinore never manages to slay the beast, but Sir Palamedes then takes up the task and finally kills it during the Grail Quest.

I may take it’s design further and make a few tweaks, but I’m happy enough with the sketch!

Day 13: King Pellinore, hunter of the Questing Beast

“Pellinore? An arrogant man, a deluded man, but a fine and honorable man too. To see him dead at the hands of a friend; this is not the death he deserved.”

King Pellinore, father to many great knights, including the legendary Sir Percival. If you’ve seen “The Sword in the Stone” Disney film, Pellinore is the grey-haired guy in pink/purple with the big broomlike moustache!

Not a great guy, nor a bad one; not a main character, nor a background one.

Great moustache though.

Day 12: The Morholt, Champion of Ireland

”King Mark; you know for what purpose I stand before thee. 300 sons and 300 daughters of Cornish stock. Ireland will accept no less.”

The Morholt is brother-in-law to King Anguish of Ireland, a giant, and sometimes his debt collector.

The young Sir Tristan of Cornwall challenges him to a duel over the debt and defeats him, rendering it null.

The Morholt comes away from the duel with a piece of Tristans sword lodged in his skull, which slowly kills him and furthers resentment towards Cornwall in Irish royalty.

Since he was Irish, I made sure he’s handsome, as the stereotype goes!

Day 11: The Imperial Fist

"The Emperor commands us. Dorn guides us. Honour shields us. Fear our name, for it is vengeance.”

Back to Warhammer! This is what really got me into art in the first place, so I keep coming back to it over and over again. Space marines were my original ‘men-in-metal’, if I look back at my artistic interests.

He ended up as a Fist just because the yellow seemed to look best as I was cycling through the options. I dont particularly have a favouritism for them; in fact I typically lean traitor. Some loyalist chapters are cool, but the heretics are more interesting; admit it!

Day 8: Mordred

This one was awesome fun; right in my bag. I want to tackle some of the more central characters of arthurian legend, like this guy, but each is gonna require a but more than a quick sketch to nail.

“Camelot? Camelot represents nothing but the hungry engine of war. With the lie of building a great and holy empire as it’s fuel, it churns endlessly, leaving nought but tyranny in its wake. Your King shall deliver you nothing but war and strife”

Day 7: The Challenge

This is my last Green Knight sketch before I move onto something else: his cute lil face!

This sketch had a false start, and then my ipad’s pen pressure wasnt working properly, so you get to enjoy that in the replay! Wow, so authentic!

Here’s the fiction nibble I wrote for it:

”I seek an audience with the noble sons of Camelot” the giant rasped. It removed it’s helm, revealing a visage born of the same diabolical realm from which it‘s armor hailed, and a pair of deep-set eyes filled with a predator’s cunning…

Day 5: The Green Knight

“The abominable knight advanced, each step resounding like the snap and groan of a collapsing tree. Vines flowed from it’s oaken helm and back, writhing and twisting their way through the air, exploring their surroundings like the tentacles of an octopus.”

Day 5 is here, and this time I decided to design the Green Knight for my Fall of Camelot project, and wrote the above little bit of prose for it.  I wish I could have come up with a plant-related metaphor instead of ‘like the tentacles of an octopus’, but nothing was coming to me.  

I couldn’t quite zone in on the antler design, neither of these feel quite right.  I’m going to spend a few days in a row sketching this guy out in a few ways til I reach a design I’m happy with.

The German book cover industry has been my sworn enemy since I was 11 years old. But just to demonstrate I want you to see this example of Pterry's Snuff, UK edition and German edition

look! a fun book cover and a beautiful illustration on its own merits, by Paul Kidby who did most of the novels and official art in later years.

now. same thing in Germany:
