this image came about through my having re-read the arthurain legends while i was halfway through painting her face. i had wanted to create an image with a confrontational gaze and then it just clicked - who she was going to become ... Morgan Le Fay. i like to think that my version is maybe more true to her original character before she got corupted by the patriarchal society. my morgan is a faery queen!

she is one of my favourite characters in fiction, and you painted her quite well.... You like purple hair don’t you? 10 I recommend reading "I Am Morgan Le Fay" by Nancy Springer. It tells the story of Morgan’s childhood and young woman-hood.... great book... i’ve read it like 5 times.

I like the pose. Never seen anything like this before.
Again, the face and tattoos are very well done.
As is the hair.
