Piece I did a little while ago after thinking about Elaine of Astolat for too long.

[ID: An Illustration of Elaine of Astolat and Nimue. Elaine is lying down in a boat in a similar fashion to many classical paintings of her. In one hand she is holding lilies and in the other a letter. She has pale skin and red hair and is wearing a blue dress. On one side of the boat is a tapestry depicting some sciences from her life including Lancelot’s arrival and departure. Nimue grips the side of the boat from inside the water. She has light blue skin, red eyes, sharp teeth, and long black hair. Beside her is a speech bubble that says “get up.”]
