I don't know why, but this week's Illustration Friday word just didn't seem to inspire me that much. Nonetheless I've had a bash at it. I was originally going to do a Samson & Delilah theme, but changed my mind at the last minute and decided to do a King Arthur picture... specifically the legend that refers to the Lady In The Lake giving Arthur his famous Sword. I may've been slightly influenced by Monthy Python and The Holy Grail as I seem to have recreated Graham Chapman's beard to an uncanny degree. From the outset I wanted to do a high-grade image (like my Intricate or Instinct pictures) in the full knowledge that next week I'm going to attempt something more natural. So to help me along this week, I've used a bit more Photoshop than usual. I just hope the image doesn't look too...artificial.

Love the lighting effects...like the moon and sword. Really great detail from the water to the woodgrain on the boat. Another fine work by the legendary Jim "Row"land :)
Well done illustration!

Not artificial at all. I love it. Very wonderful idea. I'm going to have to check this story out. I don't think I've heard it or remember it. Beautifully done illustration.
