Rewatching Merlin since I discovered it was back on Netflix! Between episodes I doodled a Merlin with room for Arthur next to him ✨🗡️

Character Aesthetic: Morgan Le Fay
“Well,” he said, “suppose that Morgan is the queen of the fairies, or at any rate has to do with them, and that fairies are not the kind of creatures your nurse has told you about. Some people say they are the Oldest of All, who lived in England before the Romans came here— before us Saxons, before the Old Ones thelmselves—and that they have been driven underground. Some say they look like humans, like dwarfs, and others that they look ordinary, and others that they don’t look like anything at all, but put on various shapes as the fancy takes them. Whatever they look like, they have the knowledge of the ancient Gaels. They know things down there in their burrows which the human race has forgotten about, and quite a lot of these things are not good to hear.” (T.H. White; Once and Future King; The Sword in the Stone)

…actually, Uthyr ap Vortigern, to my imagination. As this is some artist’s rendition from DC Comics, I can’t comment to the detail of contextual late 5th/early 6th century subRoman British military armament, but at least it’s more late ‘Roman’ than fantastical High Medieval Norman Knight…
