Description This is my depiction of the famous or some may say infamous Morgan Le Fay....of Pagan and Arthurian Legend. One of the many talents she was whispered to have was the ability to fly as a bird and transform herself. The owls help represent that aspect of her personality. Personally, I tend to view her character more from the Mists of Avalon perspective versus the evil woman portrayed in many other King Arthur Tales. Enjoy!

i love morgan le fay, so i dont care how twisted she may be. Hey, she IS my namesake, so I guess that would explain my evil and twisted mindset...muahahaha

anywho. very pretty. i like it. she looks exactly how I think she should...although I would have used crows or ravens instead of owls...better suited to her future...right? >

This is gorgeous. I wrote a paper on Arthur as well, deciding there really was one. This was years ago, when fewer people were sure.

It's very nice. Great color, and I agree with you about the owls.

I think that the "Mists of Avalon" perspective of Morgan Le Fay is probably the correct one. There's too many stories for her to have not existed, so I think that she is probably quite misrepresented in history. Heh... now where have I seen that before?

This is really cool, I love how you chose to depict her as she was described in Geoffrey de Monmouth's writings of her, which was actually the first place she appeared. Its so sad how horribly twisted and corrupted she became through the centuries with the subsequent retellings of the tale. I just wrote my junior thesis on her evolution over time actually, its amazing how much the status of the time can have an effect on literature. Lovely picture!

Thank you! I'm really glad you liked it. It is amazing how much differently you can view the stories and legend of King Arthur when faced with a new viewpoint. I bet that thesis was fun to work on, well excluding the hours of work it probably took. lol

You're welcome! Its so true how many different ways the stories can be told. My thesis was SO much fun! I didn't even mind the hours of work I had to put into it because I love learning about that stuff. And hey, I got an A on it, so I think it worked out!

I've always loved the King Arthur myths and I think Morgan Le Fay is one of my fav characters apart from Iseult. This is a really good dev and i love your portrayal of Morgan.
