Summary: When King Arthur is hit by a vicious curse, the only one who can save him is Merlin - at the cost of revealing his magic. In London in 2012, Merlin is called in to help when his workmate Arthur has been attacked. The two worlds are not as separate as they seem, and one lifetime might not be enough for Arthur and Merlin to find just how closely entwined their destinies were meant to be.

Artist's Notes: Thank you to nympha_alba, for inviting me to take this crazy journey with you! It's been a blast :D. Can you belive we *both* moved during the course of it? LOL! Thank you to the lovely people in chat for getting me off to a good start, and commiserating over how many flipping colors are in Arthur's hair. :) Thanks also to yue_ix for the art beta <3 Massive appreciation to the lovely people I don't know who put pictures on the internet that I then Google and use for reference. Last, but not least, THANK YOU to the_muppet for putting this shindig together again, and being fabulous in general! :)
All art done in Adobe Photoshop CS4, with my rather ancient by now Wacom Bamboo Tablet :)
It worked out so that there was an illustration for each main part. Nympha has her titles, which are fantastic and beautiful and fit perfectly--mine are what I was calling the pieces as I was working on them. Not nearly as poetic, but hey, a little bit of insight into how my kooky mind works. For those brave people who might want even more "DVD Extras" see t his post. :)
