Description

My submission for knouge-fanclub.deviantart.com/ 's contest!

Congratulations, good knight! Your loathly Lady isn't so loathsome after all!

This is the scene where Sir Gawain turns around and sees Lady Ragnell's beauty for the first time. Lol in the original he's like "Are you a witch?" And Lady Ragnell deliberately ignores it and says what she wants to say anyway. Once I read that I was like: Yep, this character's attitude can be a good fit for Rouge. 

My first artwork done in GIMP. I messed up a LOT, but I think it came out okay. 

I tried to make the room a reflection of the Middle Ages, stone and such. Yeah, the background isn't much. And I went crazy on the shading. 

Knuckles--oops! I meant Sir Gawain is in his in game armor (or as close as I could get it). For some reason, I really like tracing his hair. Kinda strange... His swords aren't there because he's just got married. If my husband walks in after our marriage reception with a dangerous weapon, well... You see where I'm going here. 

Rouge: Her outfit is based on real 14th century dresses and a few Disney influences (think Sleeping Beauty and Maid Marian from Robin Hood). Also, in this point in the story, Lady Ragnell is still in her wedding dress so I decided of course to put Ragnell in white. The only problem was that Rouge is white-ish, and her body clothed in more white looks plain. So, I got inspired by Disney again and made part of her dress a very light blue. It comes from Cinderella (whose dress is actually silver, but changes color in the moonlight). That way she doesn't look as plain. The green jewels represent her love of emeralds, particularly the Master Emerald. The gold trimming was very popular back then, and also the story said that Lady Ragnell liked to wear gold and jewels. 

I learned a lot practicing with GIMP though, and I really enjoyed working on this for the contest. 

Until next time, guys!
