This is my half of a collaboration with shutupeccles for merlin_ficart's Challenge #2. The theme was AU; we took it literally.
Many thanks to my support team - including yue_ix, whose art beta made this way better - and to shutupeccles who was much fun to work with!

you're welcome

It's beautiful. The transparency effect is great (hand holding! <3), and so are their proportions. I also like how they both stand out from their background yet match with their respective side's mood. Last, since I was able to visit the backstage of this, I want to felicitate you on all the hidden efforts behind this. Your perseverance, many many sketches, search for improvement and countless experimentations really brought out life and style on this piece. ♥

This looks wonderful!!! I really like the part where Arthur is holding hands with Merlin and I love the pose for both of them.

I also love the back ground and the way you drew Merlin and Arthur, it looks amazing, great job!!!=D

THIS IS BEAUTIFUL! I love the play of light over Arthur's body, and you've captured his regal expression so perfectly! Lovely!

XD XD Thank you so much for coming to see it! Arthur was having a baffled, enthralled sort of moment; I'm sure he'd find it reassuring that he still managed to look a bit dignified.

Haha, late reply is facilitated by delayed airplanes. :D
