Uh, hi! *blushes* <3

Wonderful work, very erotic. I love the way you've caught Arthur's pose, some parts of him, like his arm, are so taut and tense, and then his neck is so loose...

I know I've said it before, but I REALLY love this style of drawing you've developed, it is so attractive and atmospheric, with the very dark blacks against the paler sections, and the scratching.

THANK YOU, OMG!! I'm trapped in this style now, I feel like I haven't drawn any other way for ages. But I really love it, it just really lets me go nuts on the etching and the movement, something I really love about drawing.

As for THIS drawing, thank you so, so much <333 I wasn't sure how it would go down, I really wanted to make Arthur more masculine for wearing this, you know? I hope that worked.

Thank you <3

It totally worked. The tutu contrasts with Arthur's body to make him look MORE masculine, if anything. The contrast is really captivating and erotic. It's like seeing a really fit guy wearing make-up, it's intriguing.

THIS!!! What a perfect description! A man wearing eyeliner is right up there for the most fascinating things to see. Thank you so much!

[alby_mangroves]

GUH! Thank you so much! I was really torn about everything in this drawing, EXCEPT Arthur's pose. I sort of had that down before anything else. It's really thrilling that you like it! More than anything, I love drawing Bradley so much and it's really exciting to spam you and other nice people with my obsession <333

I MAY HAVE A NIPPLE THING, IDEK.

You can thanks AsyA-Ana for the cop hat - the idea of copper!Merlin was one she and I came up with after she veto'd another costume idea, and she was very insistent that the hat on Merlin's head (where I originally had it) looked a bit wrong, so her influence is instrumental here ;)

Thank you always for your support and the lovely comment, I'm so glad you like this! <333

So, Arthur in a dress is my favorite thing EVER, and this hits all my kinks. I love how Arthur's head is thrown back and how Merlin looks so tender. GUH. GUH. GUH.

Thank you!! I just love Arthur. Squeezing him into this tutu has been a dream of mine for some time. I had hoped to make him even MORE masculine, if that makes any sense...

I love hitting your kinks and finding out they're also my kinks. It feels.... dirty :D
