april arthurian showers - ii. morgause, elaine, morgan

@caer-gai ‘s april arthurian showers continues with the tintagel sisters. here’s some messy sketch concepts of them!

[text reads: Of Igraine de Bois three daughters were born. The eldest, Morgause, was sent to the far flung lands. Queen of Orkney, leader of the Orcadians. The North’s Sorrow. The White Raven. And Elaine, Igraine’s second daughter. A child of the salt and sea, the Lady of Tintagel Castle. The Ocean’s Queen. And the third, destined for bloodshed, and always bloodshed. The Lady of the Midnight Hours. Morgan le Fay.]
