Artist notes: You said you liked Merlin doing magic and Arthur being adorably confused, so I like to think of him looking on from off-camera here, being confused and getting a boner.

Oh cool, he almost looks like a Vulcan.

I can't see the art? I get an error when I try the image URL directly too. :(

[thoracopagus.livejournal.com]

Aha, as do I--thank you for pointing this out to us, we will work to resolve it tomorrow/ later today if it doesn't come back online.

[ratcreature]

Yay, it came back!

And the picture is gorgeous. Very dramatic, and Merlin looks almost sinister here, certainly powerful, with the glowing eyes!

whoa, this is so good! I have a weakness for Merlin doing magic *____*

*squees*

I love his expression and his eyes and mouth and hair and everything! he looks amazing :DDDD

[roga.livejournal.com]

Oh, awesome! And LOL at your notes.

[ariadneelda.livejournal.com]

Oh, I love your version of Merlin! Beautiful style! :)

[wellington.livejournal.com]

I like how you have the magic swirling back around him. Nice pic!

[kath-ballantyne.livejournal.com]

Oh wow.
Sorry, I didn't have proper internet before so I haven't got a chance to see this right now.

I love this, I love the pencil work.
I love his hand and the glow in his eyes and his hair.

Makes me want to get my pencils out and play with them.

Merlin doing magic is the best kind.
And I'm sure Arthur is getting hard watching him.

Thankyou mystery artist

Cool! I like the shiny bit in his hair. I can never do those effectively.

Beautiful! I love Merlin's large luminous eyes and the splay of his thin, delicate fingers, nawwwww. The actiony sweep of his magic pose is so high-intensity, I love it.

being confused and getting a boner.

*explodes in laughter*

Oh WOW. Amazing version of Merlin - it's so dramatic and intense! And yay for Merlin being all powerful with his magic!

[leyna55.livejournal.com]

I really like the dramatic pose, and the sense of motion. The yellow in his eyes is a very nice touch!

[mawaridi.livejournal.com]

Oh, gorgeous! I love the sweep of magic and the spot-colour of his eyes (yellow magic eyes are strangely attractive, I've always thought so). Also, lol at Arthur "being confused and getting a boner" XD

[yue_ix]

Ooh, what a lovely rendition of Merlin' magic! It makes for a great framing, and a dynamic pose. Arthur would not be the only one getting a boner here.

[ani-bester.livejournal.com]

Fantastic! I love the movement of the pencil lines and how you used the darks and lights. It's got a great feel to it! I really like the style too.

Nice work!

This is very cool! I really love the way you've drawn him - still very recognizeable but also very stylistic <3
