Inspired by the medieval european concept of chivalric romance by members of the nobility, this image in particular is partly inspired by arthur and guenevere, dont even ask why king arthur looks like david bowie from the labyrinth, apparently hes Visual Kei

Ye know... you should attend my Anglo-Saxon literature classes.
Courtly love isn't all that rosy... most courtly love situations occured when women already had husbands of their own.
And there's another side to courtly love, the knight, even though he had a will to, he "couldn't" break from his lady. So if the lady didn't love him back, he felt somewhat of a masocistic love, unrequieted love... and he had to suffer for it... as a slave!
I don't really like the whole courtly love theme... it's sloppy and ruins the spirit of the Arthurian Legends...
Oh sorry.. got carried away

Lovely detail! I especially like how the background looks somewhat impressionistic.
That is a really big sword.

The saturation seems really high, but that actually doesn't bother me much with this pic 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i dunno about the saturation, maybe its a monitor issue bec it doesnt look that saturated on my side, anyways ill try adjusting my monitor settings if i find that its the prob.

Its so awesome!!!
The background it's so cute, specially the trees,
and the color of characters it's so so real and the highlits are soften and I like it.
The hair details it's so impeccable.
Fantastic job!!!
