Thank you for responding. I have been looking for months, specifically for Lady of the Lake images and none of them came close to your interpretation, detail to color, and authenticity to all that is Arthurian. I found what I was looking for when I accidentally came across this web-site with your work.

Sillyness aside, I really, REALLY like the darker than usual vibe about the character. The Arthurian legends always have a vibe of mystery around them that makes it more than your average noblebright story, it's fun theorizing what the various definitions of the stories and characters are, is the lady of the lake truly a benevolent creature? or was Arthur fooled by perchance a forgotten pagan deity ousting for vengeance against the very things he vanquished on his crusade? You perfectly captured an aura of unknown intention in both her look, visage and the way she holds the sword, as if she might present it to someone, or intent to stab them with it.
remarkable, I applaud you
