Inspired, of course, by the epic tale Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. In the story, the knight is a "giant"--actually about seven or eight feet tall, and he rides into Arthur's court carrying an ornate battle-axe, resplendent in etched green armor and green livery.

This image looks like it ought to be the cover of the Sir Gawain story. I like the Celtic embroidery details, which carries thematically well with the Celtic beheading stories--of which this is the most famous.

The picture is really awesome and well done, I only have one problem with it; when the green knight rides in, he's not wearing any armor or a helmet. But that's more of an interpretive error than an artistic one.

awesome...its the only word that I can think of for this picture.
I love the story and your picture would be one hell of a cover!

I'm so glad I found someone on here who did Sir Gawain and the Green Knight! It looks terrific; the colours and the celtic designs are gorgeous! The top of his helmet is a little lumpy though... I'd assume a magical being such as the green knight wouldn't have dents in his armour XP

Nice though! I'm DEFINITELY fav-ing this.
