Sir Gawain & the Green Knight

        While browsing through a book on drawing for animation, I came across a couple of stills from Tim Fernee's adaptation of the Arthurian legend of Gawain & The Green Knight. What was striking about these images was that they were drawn in the style of stained glass, with bright colours and strong lines. 

        
        Consequently, with just a glance one can deduce the Olde English period. Ideally, I would have liked to develop just such a distinctive style; with a far more extended production schedule I would have considered adding embroidery, to suggest a tapestry, or maybe used textured fabrics (as in A Series of Unfortunate Events) to similar effect.
