A Servant of Two Masters

The Fan art artists

amphigoury

You are probably one of the first Merthur fan art artists I subscribed to when I first got into Merlin. You have no idea how much i adored your art as i got into Merlin (Still adore your art). It really spoke to me. I loved all your merthur fan art and I admire your talent. You hold a special place in my heart when it comes to your merthur art. I know you don’t upload that much anymore but when you do, it really means a lot to see new art of yours.

You are also one of my first fan art artists of Merthur that i followed. I adored your series ones and Doujinshi. Of course i adored all of your merthur art and your cosplays. She does an amazing Merlin. Your art was and is so special to me. I couldn’t get enough of your art. You did so much in so many new ways, it blew me away. You also hold a special place in my merthur heart too.

You are my hero. I probably knew your art since i started watching Merlin. You have SUCH a talent. An enormous talent that i just adore. I love your merthur art so much. Your expression, colour and aura. Just...wow. I just can’t express how much i love your art. All of your merthur fan art are my favourites. I cannot for the life of me pick the best one. I really don’t know what to say, I love your art. The emotions and the feeling of the art is so brilliant. The mood is portrayed so well. I know what i should be feeling when i look at the painting. The scene you portray is done in such a brilliant and intimate way with the characters.

Omg, you god. Seriously you are fantastic. I LOVE your art style. You have so much energy and life in your art works. They are so expressive and real in a way where they have they’re own lives. I’m so glad you do Merthur fan art. You have no idea how happy your fan art makes me. I could be having an awful day and your new art just brings a huge smile to my face. I can’t express myself enough, I truly love your fan art. You really are an inspiration to me. I wish i could be as good as you xD Your humour is so good as well.

Your art is fantastic. You add so much wonder to your artworks. So creative with how you do each piece. You create little stories within the painting so well.Your colours and brush strokes are so precise and excellently done.  They have so much emotion in your character’s expressions and the mood and tone is just so well done and you put it out in such a great way. 

kneelmortals

Your characters have so much character. Honestly, i love your humour and what they get up to in the fan arts. Some to make me cry, laugh, smile and weep over. From domestic modern to beautiful medieval intimacy. I love your art so much. You have such a wide range of eras and moments and emotions in them, they can be enjoyed by everyone. So much fluff too, so sweet. 

barbitone

Wow. I just can’t tell you how much I love your art style. It’s so finely time and with amazing detail. The colours and lines are so rich with colour and beauty. So smooth and even if messy it’s done in such a beautiful and rough way where it’s so pleasing to look at. Your stories have so much soul and personality to them. The characters are great. Everything about your art pieces of merthur is fantastic. The speech bubbles, the writing, the colours and lines. The features, just...flawless. So brilliant, I just love your art. From simple to extremely detailed, I love it to pieces. And some will make me cry and other will make me grin from ear to ear.

So bright, so happy, so hopeful and beautiful. Wonderfully drawn, gentle and lovely characters. Your SHADING OMG. I can’t stand how amazing it is done and how it’s so well blended together. Your lighting is SO GOOD. So much fluff, humour and sadness. So brilliant.

Ok, so. When you sold your soul to the fan art gods, it worked. You are godlike. Your art is OUT OF THIS WORLD. That hospital art work, broke my heart. EACH and EVERY one of your merthur artworks just blow me away! Seriously, SO realistic and beautiful and brilliant. The emotions and it’s just so PERFECT. I’m GLAD you take those pics of the close in shots of pieces of the artwork because now I can see just how INSANELY talented you are! I bow down to you. You are brilliant.

Wow. Wow. Wow. Your intimate merthur ones are just amazing. So real and beautiful. So domestic and gentle. They have such a real, homely feel to it that warms the heart. So expressive. Others suggestive. Imaginative and BEAUTIFULLY drawn. Your shading is lovely and everything is amazing. So stylistic. So emotional and so magical and creative. You hold such a special place in my heart.

I remember how excited I got when i saw another one of your new artworks. So special, honestly. So so special. I can’t say it enough. Thank you so much. Really. :)

@eviko @foxmittens @askevi - ...ok so you’ve blocked me after my comment trying to help. i’m sorry if i offended you somehow. that wasn’t my intention in the least. i was honestly just trying to let you know why someone might have added a story on your art or reblogged with the story and tell you about xkit’s notification block, which is a great resource and which i thought would help. i see in your response that you don’t feel you should have to block anything on your own post, which i understand, but in my experience, just putting a statement out on a blog doesn’t reach everyone while a notification block would solve the problem, especially since it’s causing you distress. 

again, i’m not trying to invalidate how you’re feeling, but i’m sorry if it came across as such. i do wish you hadn’t blocked me after you replied, since i don’t know if you’ll even see this, but i hope you can find a good solution.

“Honestly, Merlin, you figured out my armor in less than a week but you’re still useless at dress laces after all this time? We haven’t even begun on my hair yet.”

“Well, unlike formal banquets, you actually enjoy beating up your knights under the guise of training and will sit still long enough for me to do my job, cabbagehead.”

A quick sketchy gift for the lovely @eviko as thanks for treating everyone to such beautiful artwork all the time~! ♥ Not exactly as sweet as you seem to draw these two, but an attempt nonetheless plz take pity upon me

@eviko​ I’ve been thinkin’ about you lately! 

No reason in particular, you’re just awesome, so I thought I’d try out your ladies!Merthur designs. I’ve always admired your color choices and ability to convey motion, and such softness with your lines and markmaking - but I especially love the way you do hair (I know I cry about it all the time at you in the tags hahaha and I probably always will cause i mean.....who wouldn’t). 

With these designs in particular I love Arthur’s long long braid, and Merlin’s soft-looking waves. :’) I’m not so sure I was able to accurately emulate what I love so much about your work, but all the same -- I’m continually inspired by it!!

Sending you big big hugs and wishes for a restful weekend. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Send me a Letter+Number and I’ll write aficlet for my OTP

Ayyy thanks my friend ;) I’m choosing 7 (genderswap) and O(h/c). I hope eviko doesn’t mind that I was inspired by her lovely art, becauseI really love WarriorPrincess!Arthur and Genderfluid!Merlin.

***

Princess Arthur was the strongest and bravest knight ofCamelot. Donned in chainmail and armor with a sword in her hand, not manyknights would be willing to face her. The people of Camelot were accustomed totheir warrior princess, knowing that one day Arthur would lead their kingdom asa great Queen.

Not everyone had always been used to Arthur though. When shewas younger she had had a maidservant, but she had only lasted up to Arthur’steen years. Princess Arthur needed a servant who was trained to know armor,battle wounds, and men’s trousers. Therefore she usually employed a manservantover a maidservant. Of course when Merlin came around, they didn’t know any ofthese things, but then again, Merlin didn’t know how to be a servant at all.
