Apparently, a scrap-booking album with black leather covers and no frame in front is near impossible to find. Sometimes, it seems to me that the simpler something is, the harder it is to get it ( Read more... )

Wow but that's gorgeous. The coloring is just beautiful, and I love the expression on Merlin's face. (Obviously he is not pleased by the creature of the week.)

Thanks! Ahaha, rarely is he really pleased by it, right?

I like it better when fanart doesn't look exactly like the actors. I like it just to resemble them and I think you've clearly done that.

And... I love this! I'm not an artist, so I can't comment on anything technically, but by my amateur eye, I love the color. Merlin's fingers are wonderful. I love their expressions. Well done.

Thanks! For some reason I like to draw Merlin with funny faces. I guess he makes them all the time anyway.

Dude, this is really kind of fucking awesome. I apologise for all the foul language, it seemed rather instinctive here. The green coloring at first I thought made it seem a bit sinister, but their expressions... they really do seem like some sort of crime fighters. I don't suppose you'll be making this into a comic, because that would be the most awesome fan comic ever.

Thanks!
Ahahaha, that's a pretty good idea, actually, but I don't have any ideas for a story and I'm pretty braindead at the moment, so I guess I'll just have to leave it unless I get hit by a giant plot bunny.

Oh, you know it comes with the fandom:

KEYSMASH FREAKOUT FSKDFJVHKDFGJKSJH!

Merlin and Arthur (looking nothing like the actors) I don't know about that! They don't look like Brad/Cols look in their, like, days off or--haha, or something, but they DEFINITELY look like Merlin and Arthur. Either way, even in fics, I think the characters' looks usually blur a little from the actors' likeliness because there's only so much imagination can do. And you know what? I LOVE your take on the both of them. Also, your colour palette makes me whimper a little. SO PRETTY. Something else that is pretty: EVERYTHING. Guh. I especially like Arthur's pose. And his man!cleavage. And the perspective you use, which does WONDERS for the whole looking-in-on-a-scene/personal moment feel.

I need to talk to someone about Merlin... anyone... anyone...? Bueller? I WILL TALK FOREVER IF YOU WANT ME TO. What would you like to gush about? :3

Thanks!
Ahh I'm glad they look like the characters. I more or less gave up on trying to capture their likeness and tried to capture the essence of the characters instead, but that's still a pretty vague concept in itself.

ALSO I LIKE TO GUSH ABOUT EVERYTHING YEESSS!!! Although mostly I wanted to talk about... DOES ARTHUR ACTUALLY KNOW MERLIN'S A SORCERER OR NOT? I NEED TO KNOOOWWW.
