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. 

Ta-moe 

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. 

Obsidianserpent

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.

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.

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.

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.
