Siiri and Karyn would like it known that they were NOT drunk when doing their artwork - just that it's terribly difficult to draw straight lines with a mouse.... Siiri's Gisbourne is dressed in fetching black helmet with eyebrows over it and possesses a sumptuous gold chain, whilst Karyn has gone for the softer look with tunic to match Gizzy's blue eyes and a rather broken-looking sword. Both Gisbournes, however, can be seen uttering the immortal Gisbourne word "Serf". |

Gwyn's John poses by a Sherwood stream, complete with log accessory and sun-in-the-sky, whilst Karyn's Robert, displaying a fetching pair of 80s shoulderpads that Krystal out of Dynasty would be proud of, poses in the foreground by a large rock and appears to be rather dubious about John and his log. |

A cackling Gulnar, by Siiri, poses with his famous skull on a stick. Glittering rubies decorate both that and his headband, whilst woad figures resplendently on his chest, accentuated by his gown made from an old flour sack. Karyn's Owain cuts a smarter figure in his studded black leather attire, complete with woad eyeshadow and optional glow-in-the-dark eyeballs. He seems to have overdone it SLIGHTLY with the lipstick, but maybe that was all the rage in 12th century Wales. Behind him figures a portcullis accessory and below are inscribed the words "portcullis issues." Siiri would like to apologise to Gwyn and Rhys and all Welsh for writing "Have a leek, boyo" before she gets into trouble. ;) |

Rhys, obviously in his Blind Impressionist period here, illustrates the ball of string that John used to sew his trousers up with in one episode. This highly detailed piece of work is signed by the artist himself and is bound to fetch millions in a few years time. |

Karyn's Baron not only seems to have borrowed the Nottingham Guards' Communal Lipstick - he appears to have overdone it with the sunbed sessions also. Dressed in sumptuous black velvet, he gazes pensively at his cow skull whilst he contemplates calling in a welder to sort out his bent pentangle. Meanwhile, Angela's Sheriff decides he too needs a welder for his dented goblet, and stands in a peculiar way whilst he tries to come to terms with the fact that his eyebrows are attacking one another. |

Karyn's unprofessional chickens, formerly of Wickham and now of Sedgeley, demand a pay-rise in corn otherwise they will create havoc during location filming. Whilst Nikke's Meg poses outside her cott and tells them to get cracking, as she wants boiled egg and soldiers for breakfast - soldiers of the bread variety, that is.... |

Karyn's Alan sings a lament to a stray villager who threw himself under a passing steamroller when he heard Alan sing. Meanwhile, Gwyn's Much - who seems to be suffering from the all too common Curse of the Bent Arrow - wonders if his longbow is anachronistically correct. |

De Rainault's beloved hawk Lancelot hovers above his master as Siiri's Sherriff bellows for Gisbourne. Meanwhile, Karyn's Marian, her trim figure enclosed in brown and green dress, screams for Robin whilst about to shoot her longbow with a bent arrow. |

Angela's Naz gets his swords out for Esther's ladies, whilst above hovers a rather overweight Lancelot.... |

Karyn's Tuck models a robe of the Domenican order, complete with Sherwood staff, whilst posing in a doorway of Thornton Abbey that posesses a nicely detailed stonework surround. And on the other side of Sherwood, Gwyn's Gisbourne gallops a rather wonky-legged Fury across a flowered field away from Nottingham Castle, whilst Lancelot hovers above in the cloudless sky, obviously on a spying mission for his master. |

A couple of "Fathers, Brothers, Sons" original characters here for you. Siiri's Hubert has clearly overdone it with the Nottingham Guards Communal Lipstick - and to add to his troubles of a jammed-on helmet, he also has Arfur the Rat attacking his boot in the dungeons. Thankfully, the straw appears to have been changed. Meanwhile, Karyn's Timothy - who appears to be a close relative of Mr Benn - listens smugly on, unaware that someone has bent the end of his guiding-stick, which he will only find out about when he starts going round in circles. |

Using Karyn as his Colour Advisor, Rhys here has drawn Lancelot and his extended family having a fly around in the sky. Lancelot is the one in the black. The small purple fledgeling in the upper right hand corner is preparing to dive-bomb Gisbourne and peck his eyes out. Rhys tells us that the green hawk who has one wing considerably longer than the other has developed naturally that way due to constantly flying around hillsides. Mother Nature is wonderful. |

Karyn and Angela attempted a montage scene involving Herne the Hunter and Loxley. Dressed in woodland green, with a bow to rival anything Gwyn could draw, Angela's Loxley clutches the Silver Arrow and stares pensively at Herne, wondering what riddle the stupid old sod is going to spout next. Karyn's Herne stands to one side, complete with a nice deer head and antlers, arms raised beseeching the powers above to give him someone who actually understands what he's talking about. In the background above Loxley hangs a new breed of Falcon with three wings. Rhys also tells us (since he's the resident expert on Falconry) that this third wing helps the hawk fly faster, which is why although you can't see them, the bird has three feet for quick braking manoevers. |

Handy tip for Owain of Clun - if you don't want to be skewered by your own portcullis again, you get a blind guy to draw up the design plan for the next one.... |

Siiri's Jenet wanders happily around a poppy meadow, picking them to create opium which she plans to put in Gisbourne's drink if he does anything to her, whilst unaware that Karyn's Gisbourne - who appears to have borrowed Mr Plod the Policeman's outfit - is preparing to pounce! De Rainault's ever-faithful Lancelot hovers overhead and seems to have serious wing issues. |

Karyn's Will, dressed in a natty outfit complete with designer stubble - and standing as though he needs to visit the little boys' room - recreates one of his finer moments in RoS, with the aid of his trusty dagger and the good Abbot himself. Seated to his right is Gwyn's glowering Hugo, looking resplendant in his purple robes of office, and clutching a BIG cross. Determined not to be cowed by Scarlett, Hugo shouts, "keep away from me, you villian!" while Will asks him, "Which is your favourite ear?" Happy times. |

Second in Rhys's exclusive series of paintings entitled "Famous Portcullis's I Have Felt," nicely signed by the artist in blue. This portcullis features a padlock in black. The Earl has clearly made his portcullis secure and no-one, but no-one, is going to be able to get through THAT! |

Karyn's Bill and Ben the Flowerpot Men the Nottingham Guards survey the sheep they have adopted as their mascot and wonder how its legs can hold it up. Meanwhile, Angela's Fury rears for joy against a blazing sunset, having thrown Gisbourne off en route. |

Karyn's de Rainault - who bears a striking resemblance to Fu Manchu - does some weightlifting with one of his hunting hawks, whilst Siiri's hunting hawks lining up to be inspected look capable of bringing down not just a small pigeon but a fully grown deer by just dropping on them from a height... |
