Both look really nice with the marker pen.
I'm especially fond of Agravaine. I love the composition and how you have him posed to play with the throne (Arthur in this case?).
Very cool.

Thanks! I just bought them and decided I needed to take them for a test run (which got a little carried away). I really liked the composition on Agravaine as well, thanks for noticing it. I sort of wanted the idea of him/the crows circling the throne as though it was carrion.

Thanks again for commenting. Glad you like them.

LOVE the knots in both of these. The colors are fantastic, and you've done a stellar job of capturing the texture of Morgana's dress. I'm (like reni) especially fond of the Agravaine one; it's just beautifully laid out, with fantastic motion in the placement of the crows. And his pose is fantastic, so possessive of that throne.

Very nice pieces. Thanks for posting them. You captured Morgana's haunted eyes and steely determination. The lynx is well done and right you should be happy with it. I notice it's little Morgana smirk :).
Agravaine looks a bit melancholy for some reason....even though he is hovering over Arthur's throne...is it all still 'empty'? The lovely celtic work for the lynx and crow is great. The lynx in Celtic symbology helps with developing psychic senses and the crow is valuable when trickery is needed. True things in the case of these two characters.

Agravaine is brilliant! There's just something about the composition that's so striking! And I adore the Celtic design and Morgana's gorgeous eyes!

these are both really amazing! the knots are gorgeous, and the movement in both pieces (the contrast of Morgana's flowing locks with the stillness of her and the lynx's bodies and their steely stares, and the billowing of Agravaine's cape and the wild abandon of the crows) is simply breathtaking. Agravaine's is my favourite between the two, though, because--having him stand behind the throne like that with one of the birds tearing at its cloth? DAMN.
