Hey guys! I had this really cool idea last night for a story about King Arthur! Anyone want to help me design some characters for it? The main ones are:

King Arthur (obviously!) {Edit – won by AMS for this picture}

Queen Guinevere, who is a blond, Tolkien-style elf (no, don't ask me why, just because)

Morgana Le Fay, Arthur's half sister

Mordred, Arthur and Morgana's son (could be adult or child, you decide!)

Sir Lancelot, Mr "Tall, dark and handsome", Arthur's top knight and Guinevere's secret crush

The wizard Merlin, who's about Arthur's age (i.e. not old and grey)

(Possibly) Guinevere and Arthur's son, slightly younger than Mordred, name not decided yet.

 

Others we/you could have include Arthur's dad Uther, who would be quite old, the Lady of the Lake, and other Knights of the Round Table if you know any or want to look them up.

 

Edit: If you want to change a character's appearance a bit, go ahead. For example, if you think Guinevere should be a brunette or Merlin should be old and grey, go for it! If I like it, I'll keep it. If not, I won't.

i originally had made this as Charlemagne, but he can be Arthur, if you don't think he's too old. i'm not sure the sitting pose is perfect, either.

No, he's not too old, and I can't see anything wrong with the pose. I like the background as well Cool Also, props for being the first to enterSmile, even if you didn't make him specifically for this Laugh

Yes, she's lovely! Cool I was just looking at her on your Characters page and thinking that she would be perfect! Laugh 

Thanks for entering Smile

OK guys…here's the Pendragon family crest. You don't have to include it, but if you do, it's just a dragon from Insignia-Standard. The shield is unimportant.

You may or may not be able to see, but in the picture of Mordred I posted, he's wearing a little gold dragon around his neck. Arthur wears one as well, all the Pendragons do.

Here he is Kaylin88100. I made some slight changes to the shirt, but your original concept is there. Hope you like it and let me know if it needs any changes.

Wow, he's great! Thanks! Smile

I officially declare ams the first winner of this contest! (But only the first of many – there are still all the other characters to design.)

Yes, it's still going – and you can enter as many characters as you like. You can even make a King Arthur if you feel like taking on the amazing AMS. Wink

My take on Mordred, who wields Clarent, the sword in the stone, the blade he uses to mortally wound his father.

You know what the fellow said – in Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace – and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.

here's my take on sir Lancelot du lac, weilding the Lance of Longinus (the lance that was used to stab Christ), astride his immortal mount RASA…

Wow! A sudden explosion of entries! Thanks, guys, I love them. I also think you've all gone for characters that haven't been tackled before, which is even better – it means you're all currently winning by default. Any more for any more? Remember you can enter more than once if you feel like it. Wink

I was flipping through the Forum and saw this contest, so I thought I'd give it a shot. Noticed no one took on the women you mentioned, (other than meniukas's Lady of the Lake; NICE!), so here's my Morgana Le Fey….. MORGANA-LE-FEY.pngMORGANA-CLSE-UP.png

I like it!http://www.heromachine.com/blog/wp-content/forum-smileys/sf-cool.gif

So now the only major characters without entries are Guinevere, her son, and Uther. Keep those entries rolling in! Wink
