What a Way to Finish off the Cards. Kuddo's Scott.
I like the Fact that on this card, Everyone has thier Helmets off,.. a Very Neat Idea.

On a Side note,.. I never realized that some of the Knights kinda Represented Actors from Movies,.. I suppose those movies are not from My Generation.

Hats off on the Great Work Guys !

BTW,.. neat effect with the light comming threw the Window.

Cool team-up for the end. This one would be the "holy grail" of cards since they are all pictured

[Dave Mc]

Wow, this time around we get a card set that tells a story. SWEET!

Lancelot is too busy staring off at Guinvere's cleavage to notice.

Awesome set of cards Scott. They come across as book plates in a prose novel.

But,

Is this story in reverse ?

When BK was fighting and burning castles on the previous cards, he was already a "Knight".

I think this card is the first of the series, then he went nuts

Super Card, Scott !!!

IMO, best card of this series !!!

Nice work Scott, as always. Nice way to show the head sculpts. What a way to end the week. Can't wait for these and the rest of the Western series to start making the rounds.

Guess it's time to update the trading card page now.

Those little details really make these great. Thanks for your hard work. I can't wait to get em.

BTW,.. neat effect with the light comming threw the Window.

Actually, the light is coming from Arthurs crown -- I think

I really like the composition of Arthur towering over everyone else. Very nice!

"They lived happily ever after. The END."

Yeah, I was pondering how to handle the faces vs, helmets issue, the helmets are too cool, but the faces are good too. When this idea came to me it gave it a whole story where the rogue Black Knight battles all of them and finally joins the Round Table, a good guy after all, just misunderstood.

Glad these are done!

Is this story in reverse ?

When BK was fighting and burning castles on the previous cards, he was already a "Knight".

Actually, in the tales and song the Black Knight was, in most cases, dubbed by another King. Arthur followed his own father, Uther Pendragon as King of Britain, and Arthur's confirmation as King by pulling Excalibur from the anvil / stone was not universally accepted, even though the majority accepted him. He therefore had to spend time reclaiming those British lands from his Black Knights before he could claim Kingship Undivided, and go off to conquer France, Rome, Ireland, or wherever.

The storytelling of these cards is just outstanding. It flows like an MGM film from back in the day - A Black Villian, Shining Heroes, Colorful costumes, various armed combat scenes, "the Right" made victorious, and a final scene in the throne room with the Villian redeemed and accepted back into fellowship of the Table Round. I can practically hear the swelling of the symphony as the words "The End" appear in gothic script.

Also, major kudos to Scott for being able to take what I have long held to be the weakest desgined figure of the lot and make him look majestic. Look at the shine coming off that Crown! Take a bow, sir!

[megoscott]

Thanks, Flynne. These cards are pretty much for you. I love the knights, but it helped to know at least one person would completely geek out over them.



My only regret is that the card numbers don't match the story order, but I didn't know what I was going to do when I assigned them.

very cool image. i love that some knights are based on their movie counterparts.
