The True King

One cannot be a true king if there are puppet strings binding them. One cannot be a true king merely because they pulled a sword from a stone.

Welcome to the Thornwood

“Then [he]… threw the sword as far into the water as he might; and there came an arm and an hand above the water and met it, and caught it, and so shook it thrice and brandished, and then vanished away the hand with the sword in the water.”

~ Thomas Malory, ‘Le Morte d’Arthur’

Finished the #LadyOfTheLake in record time - tried out Vallejo's Transparent Water, Water Effects for the first time.

Relatively pleased with the outcome, but is it just expensive Gesso?

Not overly happy with the lips, but this was the fourth attempt, so I'm calling it there.

I was a bit worried earlier on that I'd gone too pale. But painting her hair has really made it feel like it's starting to come together.

Some in progress shots as I lay down some flesh tones.

Started with a base of Game Air "Flesh" (72.769), then added highlights of Game Color "Pale Flesh" (72.003), then Game Air "Pale Flesh" (72.703), and then mixed some Army Painter Air "Yeti White" into it for final highlights and the base for the fabric.
