Young King Arthur

My first entry for The King Arthur challenge on Artstation. This is supposed to be Arthur before becoming a king, but after taking the sword out of the rock.

I decided portraying him at this stage as a selfless knight, as he is about to give the holy sword to Sir Kay, so instead of having Arthur brandishing or astonished by the sword, he's ready to take leave, plus he gives us an heroic vibe.

Since that is a holy sword, I decided giving it a holy cross sort of design, and also huge enough that it's not fully a weapon, but a symbol of a new king to be cherrished.

For the King Arthur design I plan on having a contrasting characteristic for him.
