#Yvaine knight of the lion

[we-are-knight]

A recent acquisition...

Time for another art dump! This is an update to a previous post, now replete with the armor and experimenting with a new shading style: hatch lines. I tried this out on a different piece at around the same time, and I honestly really like the subtle gradient it gives. Anyway, here we see Yvain leaping from the Stormcutter, near the end of his journey. In the actual event he had his helmet on, but I've taken some artistic liberties for dramatic effect.

I finished Iwein Knight with the Lion by Hartmann von Aue and his refusal to discuss knightly battle in his leisure time is hilarious.

legit i love the callout to Chretien de Troyes' Yvain: Knight of the Lion

[rjalker]

[ID: A color illustration from a medieval manuscript, showing a knight on a brown horse using his sword to slice in half a dragon that is biting the tail of a lion. The knight has chainmail and a red shield with a rampart lion, the dragon has two visible legs and a skinny tail, with brown-red skin. The lion is drawn relatively realistically, except that its fur is blue rather than tan. There are stylized green-grey trees behind them and gold for the background. The illustration is bordered by blue lines meeting gold square corners, with the horse's back legs outside the square, the hooves standing on a small drawn ledge, to show how quickly the knight entered the scene. End ID.]

(I assume the lion is blue because of colors fading or something)

The Whumps of March 2024: "Lonely" (ALT. Prompt)

A series of vignettes based on Arthurian legend, collected on AO3 here.

“Do you think he ever loved me?”

Lunete looked up from her sewing, blinking owlishly. Lady Laudine’s gaze had drifted out the window again.

“I know he did, milady. I wish you would believe that.”

“Not enough to stay with me. Not enough to come back, either.”

Lunete didn’t have a response for that.

“I loved Esclados, you know.” Her eyes clouded. “He was a good husband. Even though…I’m not sure if he ever loved me, either. I didn’t think I would love Yvain at first. I just needed someone, for protection. But by the time he asked to leave…”

She sniffled. 

Lunete leaned over and placed her hand over her mistress', trying to be comforting. But she could tell that Laudine was longing for a different kind of companionship.

Going through Chretian's Yvain rn and it's so crazy like imagine if your husband was killed and your best friend was like damn grow up, stop crying and fuck the killer already sheesh 🙄

Here's a character I greatly enjoyed making and playing: Yvain! He's a lion-taur knight from the duchy of Carnelia, where their favorite metal is gleaming brass. These pictures are getting on four years old now so I could definitely do a better job these days. He fights with a lance and loves to move around the field. Up until very late in his story he believed himself to be unique in the world since no other creature like him had cropped up, but it turns out that he's part of a race of taurians called the Kin, who come in many different animal types. Now that his story is almost over, I hope one day to write it down and publish it for others to read.

Oh by the way his last name is "Lionheart" because as a child he was freed from being treated as a weird animal when the Duke of Carnelia realized "That's not a beast it's a child". The Duke was an observant man but not great with coming up with names on the fly.

I’ve just finished Ywain and Gawain (Chrétien’s version) and my girl Lunete deserves so much more recognition I’m actually quite sad to find out there is not much material about her on the internet :((((

deleted scene from lady of the fountain where sir owain dumps a bunch of coin into the wishing fountain but laudine just keeps it as collateral.

Elder Damsel: All of our dead father's estates will be mine!!

Younger Damsel: NOOOOOOO I WILL FIGHT YOU IN COURT!

Elder Damsel: Not if I get there first lol

Younger Damsel: watch me

Elder Damsel: (gets to King Arthur's court first)

Gawaine: I will be her lawyer champion

Younger Damsel: T.T WHERE IS SIR LANCELOT?

Gawaine: sorry maam we dont know where he is

Guinevere: He just saved me from Maleagant but he has not come back

Lancelot: GAWAIN WHERE YOU I AM STILL IN THE TOWER PLS SAVE ME BELOVED FRIEND I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME I AM IN DESPAIR

Younger Damsel: if sir lancelot and sir gawain aren't here then i can't defend my claim T.T I am surprised that I cannot find aide in your court. But I will not give up my claim against my sister. Help me please, Oh king.

King Arthur: Ma'am you should give to your sister what she claims.

Elder Damosel: Nope I shall not. I dare her to find a lawyer champion who can help her take what she desire.

King Arthur: That's not fair. Fine I give your younger sister 40 days to find a lawyer champion, according to the practice of our courts

Elder Damosel: I will consent if she desires.

Younger Damosel: YES I WILL FIND MY OWN LAWYER CHAMPION.

///////

Younger Damsel: I have to find the Knight with the Lion! Thus is my quest! Where is he? I cannot find him! I am so sad. Now I am sick. I cannot continue. My claim is moot.

Another Damosel: I WILL TAKE YOUR QUEST, DAMOSEL! LEAVE IT TO MEEEEEEE

........................

Chretien de Troyes's damosels' having their own quests is the most fun part of this book.

Mr Gaiman, I'm a really big fan of your work and so was my mum, and she even named me Yvaine after your character in stardust. However, after coming out as a trans man this name no longer resonated with me and I want a similar but more masculine name. I was wondering if you had any suggestions. Thank you so much for your amazing stories.

Well, one of the main inspirations for the name Yvaine was Yvain, one of Arthur's knights, famed for his pet lion. Lots of spellings to choose from "

Ywain /ɪˈweɪn/, also known as Yvain and Owain among other spellings (Ewaine, Ivain, Ivan,[1] Iwain, Iwein, Uwain, Uwaine, Ywan, etc.),
