Oooh your Lanval art is so beautiful, I absolutely adore colours you have used in it as well as how big lady's hair is! Fun fact, in Thomas Chestre's 14th century adaptation of the lai, the fairy is named Tryamour; however naming her Aubepine sounds so lovely

Thank you so much!! There was so much reference to purple that I had to use it.🥺💜

AND YEAH OMG like a week after I originally posted my art I saw that there was a name given to her and I was like ??? cause I didn't know if she was ever given one.😂 So thank you for the source! I'll probably also tag her from now on with Lady Tryamour so its easier for others to find art of her from me, but I think I'll add to the lore and keep my Aubépine🥹. There's also confusingly a knight named Sir Tryamour as well??? Not Arthurian related, but also from a 14th century romance.

Though on the topic on Aubépine, I am wondering if her comparison to a hawthorn blossom is actually in the original text or if it was added by the translator. I'm hoping to buy another copy of Marie's lais but this time with the Claire M. Waters translation from Broadview Press so I can read the original text as well. I have Broadview Press' print of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight translated by James Winny and really enjoy it for having the side by side comparison pages with the original text and translation.

Me watching Sir Lanval (2011): oooohhh Tryamour is pretty <3 Also hi Kay my good friend Kay!

SERIOUSLY!!!! The casting for Tryamour and Lanval is sooo amazing their chemistry is fire. They are so beautiful together! That's one of my favorite Kays, I included that movie on my Kay Recommendations post because it's one of the rare cases Kay is both Arthur's foster brother and seneschal at the same time! Weee!!!

It's a great film and everyone should watch it. :^)
