hrothgar:

Detail from Lambeth Palace Library MS 6, folio 43v, illustrating an episode in Geoffrey of Monmouth’s Historia Regum Britanniae (c.1136) in which Vortigern meets the young Merlin, who explains that the underground fight between red and white dragons is causing his fortress to collapse

val-a-t:

“Vortigern’s fate”

An illustration I wanted to do since almost two years now : young Merlin watching the epic, prophetic fight between the red and the white dragon that were sleeping under the hill on top of which King Vortigern wanted to build his tower.
Arthurian legends and Britain’s mythology are an awesome source of inspiration. AND a great excuse to paint over-the-top dragon fights.
