20 Camelot icons for [livejournal.com profile] 20muses
this was my first time ever doing a challenge like this
so I played it safe and chose easy mode, which I thought
was going to be harder than I anticipated. Thankfully though
once I had the ball rolling, it was rather fun! :)

I created an arthurian calendar for the 2012. It is in two version (one is clear and the other one has an "ancient" effect). In the last page of the calendar there are also all the titles of the pics/paintings I used.
The calendar if composed by: an arthurian poem, an arthurian image, the days of the month.

VERSION 1: DOWNLOAD HERE

I've done a rewatch of Merlin season one to write down all the importan
stuff that is treated strangely and with some mistakes in the future
seasons. I'll also rewatch the future season to see how the writers
treated what they had with the first season.

I hope it's okay to post this here... I thought that fans of Arthurian legend might like to know that I'm working on a (slightly megalomaniac) comics project about Sir Gawain :-). Sketched pages (not final ones - I'm working on those, but I'm painfully slow) are being posted on my LJ. Feel free to have a look :-). Since I'm essentially posting drafts, I'm always looking for constructive criticism.

Gawain Project banner
And ther by ordenaunce of the quene ther was set a quest of ladyes on Syr Gauayn. And they iuged hym foreuer whyle he lyved to be with all ladyes, and to fyghte for her quarels, and that euer he shold be curteys, and neuer to refuse mercy to hym that asketh mercy.
- Sir Thomas Malory, Le Morte Darthur (1485)

Just a quick roleplay advertisement! And we're always on the lookout for more Arthurian myth characters, so if you're interested and have no ideas peek in our WANTED page! Thanks!

[livejournal.com profile] mythopoeics

You all know their myths, when they were influential and absolute, but what comes around goes around - karma came knocking at their doors and these Gods died. Reincarnated throughout time, sometimes with no idea of who they truly are, they all struggle to understand what keeps bringing them back to life and for what purpose are they subjected to this higher power and their games.

Reserves+Apps currently open until the 15th.

I am going to see "King Arthur" tomorrow. It looks as though they will not portray Merlin the way most do. I was wondering if anyone has seen this movie and what they think of the Merlin character.

huzzah! i am glad i found this community. i've been obsessed with arthurian legend (mostly the figure of merlin, actually) for ages, i'm very nerdy about it. :D i keep stumbling over books about him, and i even found an outofprint copy of merlin's dreams by my favorite illustrator alan lee (he's also illustrated the lord of the rings and the mabinogion.

apparently lee identifies with merlin:

"To draw a tree, to pay such close attention to every aspect of a tree, is an act of reverence not only toward the tree, and toward the earth itself, but also our human connection to it. This is one of the magical things about drawing -- it gives us almost visionary moments of connectedness. Every element -- hair, wind, rocks, water -- is portrayed with one material -- graphite, ink, paint -- which binds it all together, bringing out the harmony we know exists in nature (created as it is, as we all are, by particles that have existed since the dawn of the universe.) This is the power of myth as well, binding us to the natural world. There have always been mythic tales of figures whose function is to act as an intermediary between humanity and nature -- the shaman, the shape-shifter, the trickster. . .an embodiment of creative powers who appears in myths, fairy tales and medieval legends all around the world. Often they have a touch of "divine madness" -- like Merlin, during his years in the wild through which he gained his divinatory powers. It is interesting to me that in our century it is often artists who fulfill this function. And who, in popular stereotypes, are given the licence to be a bit mad... The power of both myth and art is this magical ability to open doors, to make connections -- not only between us and the natural world, but between us and the rest of humanity. Myths show us what we have in common with every other human being, no matter what culture we come from, no matter what century we live in. . .and at the same time, mythic stories and art celebrate our essential differences."
