please full view for best detail.

Well, this turned out better than I thought it would.
I may also do a hand colored version later.

I do believe I got carried away with the background though.
I used the symbol of Genesis Earth (No, it's not a racist symbol!)
And I used the trident which is symbol for the planet of Water, Neptune. (Mercury is also called the plaet of water, and the Moon has water symbolism too) Since Dylan used to have trident designs on his suit.

The King of Hearts is representation of the time Dylan, Aidan, Gunther and another OC of mine, Gabriel, became the Rulers of those respective cards and their magic.
(Gabriel is retired now, you wouldn't be interested anyways)

Hearts represent water and the Holy Grail in card lore and symbolism.
As well as spring, love and life.

I hope Dylan's pose didn't come out too feminine.
He's supposed to look suspended in the air.
I used a pose of some guy, a gymnast probably that I found online.

This is from his teenage years, probably 17-18.
He carries a staff that could heal and acted as a conduit for his powers and can be used in unison with the Holy Grail.
Excalibur's sword form is used more for fighting and destroying enemies.
The weapons are one and the same, since Excalibur morphs to different things depending on the need.
