The alternate comp art offered here strikes the balance of each of these themes, showing the armor-clad Lancelot in a sensual embrace with Guinevere beneath a big, blood-orange sun. The whisps streaking from each of them renders the couple as if floating in space, heightening both the passion and fantasy elements of the film. In Peak&#8217;s signature fashion, the colors used here are otherworldly, a royal mixture of orange, purple, yellow, black, and red that blend into and out of each other with ease. Accomplished with airbrush, gouache, and pastel on 32&#8243; x 40&#8243; artist&#8217;s board and signed by Peak on the lower righthand corner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:24px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<div class=\"wpsc_shopping_cart_container\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-superbfont-medium-font-size\">Share this on:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":693,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[135,18,21,262,10,9,221,313,312,39,208,71,158,79,19,115,119],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sanguinfineart.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/691"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sanguinfineart.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sanguinfineart.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sanguinfineart.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sanguinfineart.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=691"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/sanguinfineart.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/691\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5320,"href":"https:\/\/sanguinfineart.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/691\/revisions\/5320"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sanguinfineart.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/693"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sanguinfineart.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=691"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sanguinfineart.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=691"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sanguinfineart.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=691"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
