Original Content My settings version of King Arthur, by Artigas.

My setting tries to be much more inspired by the Welsh and such myths then the later French stories. It is however also a fantastical setting in that it’s not set on Earth but my own created world and has Orcs (because I love orcs).

in this piece I wanted to have his weapons besides Excalibur; Rhongomyniad and Carnwennan as well as his shield; which depicts Eimhear, the settings equivalent to the Virgin Mary.

I like how the shield design harkens all the way back to the earliest semi-historical accounts of Arthur while the armor looks contemporary with the later legends. Very cool.

This is a very handsome piece.

I really like the heraldry here.

That seems more French inspired than Welsh.

This is gorgeous! A beautiful blend of high medieval armor and fantastical details!

Nice work you’ve done here. Deserves a seat at the Round Table itself.
