Merlin Daemon Portraits

[awanderingbard]

I recently leant out my Merlin dvds to someone, and it reminded me of Merlin stuff, and I decided to do some Merlin daemon portraits. Probably the biggest project I've tried to do with this sort of thing, but I feel like I get better at it as I go along.

Brought to you in part by a binge listening of The Unbelievable Truth, a few Nerdist podcasts, and much Postmodern Jukebox.



Table has names, animal, and then the meaning of that animal in heraldry. Also, I feel the need to say that Arthur isn't that small, Brandra is just that big. :-D
