Paperlegends 2013
Title: 'Snowball Fight' and 'Lake'
Artist: reni_m
Characters: Arthur & Merlin
Rating: G
Mediums: Watercolor and colored pencil
Summary: From nomical's summary for artists claims
'When Arthur returns it isn't with a crack or a boom. The world doesn't shake and people don't flock to his island. In fact, the world doesn't seem to notice anything at all, say for one man. This is a story about Arthur's return, adapting to life in the 21st century, relearning how to interact together, and finding out that maybe this time destiny doesn't start with a capital "D". It's not your typical save the world story, but it might take them a while to realize it. '
Artist's notes: A couple of illustrated scenes from an aborted fic by nomical. Unfortunately the fic these are based on was getting too big, and in order to finish PL she made the hard decision to switch to a new story.
First illustration is a snowball fight b/w Merlin and Arthur where Merlin cheats a bit. The second is a slightly comedic version of Arthur's return. Basically his reaction after he finds out how much time has passed.
Title: The Knights
Artist: reni_m
Characters: Leon, Percival, Lancelot, Elyan, and Gwaine
Rating (if applicable): G
Mediums: Gouache, colored pencil, and metallic markers
Summary: Boys with toys!
Artist's notes: Once I knew I was going to make a solo art post, I decided I wanted to have a bit of a 'bang.' So in addition to finishing the original 2 pieces, I decided to do my own project.
The story of these knights is actually old. I started this project almost 2 years ago with Lancelot, and I had plans to include the other 4, as I felt there wasn't enough knight art in Merlin fandom. But then I stalled. Last year around this time I managed to get some energy and all 5 of the knights got to the barebones line art stage, but then I lost steam. Again. And it didn't help that the show killed 3/5 of them. So on my desk they sat, collecting dust while they watched various other projects get started and completed. It was sad. However, when my writer changed ideas, I decided it was the perfect time to finish them. So with less than a month to my posting date, I locked my preview entry, sat down, and worked. Well, worked when I wasn't going to Yankees games. Let me tell you nothing is more disruptive than free baseball. ;) Anyway, I manged to get them done and I think they look fab.
Shoutout to gwyntastic for gifting me with the metallic markers. When I received them, I promised her I would use them for a project. Well better late than never, right?
