You have seriously killed me this time...

I'm still a bit speechless over this art.

This is so amazing and awesome and all things wonderful that I'm a just overcome with FEELS...

It's one of those things I can barely stand to look at for more than a moment at a time because it's just so good! I'm blinded by it's magnificence! Looking at it just overwhelms me with feeelings! It's so good I could cry! Please count my tears as the highest compliment! <3

I know that all sounds a bit ridiculous but it's all TRUE! I just can not deal with how good this is... ♥

[alby_mangroves]

AWW KITTY! This is just an amazing compliment and I thank you dearly. Reducing you to good tears is the highest praise! THANK YOU <3

Yay de-anoning! It was super great to be able to crit this for you. I just opened up the draft you sent me side by side with the final. At first glance very little changed but then I looked at it and realize that you basically revisited every inch of the drawing. The lushness of the texture you've achieved is *outstanding*! Everything feels like it would feel different, slippery or soft or crinkly or smooth or hard (heeheee), the values of the background give it real depth, and their faces (and other parts!) are perfected. Thanks for sharing the nigh-obliterating hotness with us all! *throws confetti shaped like tiny penises*

[alby_mangroves]

TINY PENISES!! Thanks for that visual, omg :D

Your crit was excellent and I appreciate you going into everything so thoroughly. I'm glad you can see the incorporated changes! Thanks so much for your time and efforts in helping me make this better ♥ ♥ ♥

THIS!!! I have stared at it LONG and HARD it really is perfect. The nuzzling faces and chest to back pose, and the bath thing and Arthur still wearing his prince's crown, the long line and hair on Merlin's chest, and of course, the part of Merlin that is benefiting from Arthur "taking an active hand" ... ahem.

Whew. And now I'm back to staring... So Freaking HOT!

[alby_mangroves]

Yes, good. good. GOOD. I feel like I've ticked some boxes here! LOL
Thanks bb, awesome feedback, so glad you like! WOOHO FOR BODY HURRRR \o///

[wanderlust48]

Oh yes, ALL the BOXES!! And some boxes I didn't even know I had!!!

[alby_mangroves]

Ahh, those mystery boxes. Sometimes they're the best :D
