Bury My Heart (Galehaut Laid to Rest)

"HERE LIES GALEHAUT THE SON OF THE GIANTESS, THE LORD OF THE DISTANT ISLES, WHO DIED FOR THE LOVE OF LANCELOT" "And Lancelot himself lay his companion to rest inside the tomb. After he had laid Galehaut down, he kissed him three times on the mouth in such agony that his heart nearly leapt out of his chest. " - Lancelot Part IV (Lancelot-Grail /Vulgate Cycle)

I haven't completed a traditional drawing in pencil in years after switching almost completely to digital. There was a few times I almost gave up in the sketch phase, so I'm proud of myself for seeing it through.

Its been genuinely healing to work on this and pour my heart for these two.

If I ever have the time I'd really like to make a short comic of the events that transpire between Lancelot finding Galehaut's original grave and bringing him home so that they may eventually rest together. (Note: I did add a blue wash on the background since I wanted to leave the original drawing in pencil with no paint or marker. I'll be sharing the original drawing with no digital edits, some color tests (since I still plan to do a colored version), and a deep dive on the many references/inspirations behind this piece on Patreon later this month.)
