Artist's Notes: I chose "airport" and "model!Merlin" from the set of prompts, and yeah. This is what I came up with! Originally, it was supposed to be two drawings side by side, one showing the airport Arthur was stuck in and the one where his snazzy model boyfriend was waiting with his fancy LV luggage, but I ran out of time, lol (see how there aren't even airplanes in the background...) So instead we just have Merlin having Thoughts with his coffee! :)

Gaaaawwwsh anon, this is totally adorable. I love how Merlin is looking all sulky with his cuppa! And the LV luggage! :DDD And his clothes! Too cute!

I love the style of this! :D For some reason, I'm particularly in love with Merlin's boots and his bag. But, aww, so adorable and pretty! <3

and of course the luggage and the lopsided little crown. a+, a+

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. It's not a style I'm used to seeing and now I want to see more! Merlin's little frown is so endearing, and I love how detailed his clothes are and his little suitcase. Thank you! ♥

This is lovely. I adore Merlin's expression and his boots are absolutely fantastic. Great work :)

I love that Merlin is so petite he's a smidge bigger than the side of his bag, and yet, his legs go on for miles. Definitely an editorial and runway model. I also really love the coloring in this...and the boots! Of course, the boots!

Oh, so cute!

Anon, thank you for my gift! ♥
I love the colours in this, the blues and the browns, and Merlin's outfit is so him, it's perfect.
He looks like he could fit in his bag!
This looks as though it could be on the front of a gift card.
Love it: ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

I love the drawing of the luggage in this way more than I should.

So adorable.

I like grumpy model Merlin a lot!
Lovely palette here, artist!anon!

[giselleslash.livejournal.com]

Oh, I love the style of this. Well done!

[ourspacesongs.livejournal.com]

oh I love this! I love his clothes are reminiscent of his Merlin clothes but modernized and I love the luggage :)

gorgeous! ♥

[tourdefierce.livejournal.com]

This is so fucking gorgeous. He's so tiny and those boots. AH.

This is just really lovely. It makes me want to write all the words to go along with it.

Lovely, he's thinking of Arthur! Love the details too. I think I'm spotting Merlin's boots ;) Anyway great ♥

[venivincere]

Those are TOTALLY airport windows. *sideeyes* Have you been to DTW?

Your model!merlin is skinny and hot and sulky, just like a model, and you nailed the LV out of the park. And that crown... it really kinda goes two ways. Either it's a thought-bubble and he's thinking of Arthur (and isn't the crown for that brilliant!) or... it's like the dragon in the smoke thing: he's got magic, and he's amusing himself by magically making crowns out of the steam from his coffee because he has Arthur on his mind. And dear god Vivienne Westwoods gone pointy, and the faux fur collar! *swoons*

[k-nightfox.livejournal.com]

I love this! Merlin's expression, his LV bag and OMG, his boots! Great work :D

[slightlytookish]

This has such a cool style! I love the colors you used, and Merlin's hair and boots are making me incredibly happy :D

[besamislabios]

[ariadneelda.livejournal.com]

Oh, your style is wonderful! This is adorable and really beautiful. Merlin's coat and boots look awesome! And I just love his expression and the way he sits, bag beside him. :)

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

SO. MUCH. WIN.

Amazing job on the bag. I love it! And Merlin's boots are really nice too. Poor, grumpy!Merlin. :( *hugs him*

[mightypretty.livejournal.com]

Such a lovely unique style, I adore the lines and the teal/brown tones of this.

Gorgeous piece ♥

[ravyn-ashling.livejournal.com]

his fucking boots and hugeass LV bag, ohgod. ♥ and, hey mate, your cheekbones are kicking off right there! ;) loving the textures in your colouring so much.

[sophinisba]

Aw I love all the details of Merlin's clothes and his sulky little frown. <3

[kianspo.livejournal.com]

I love it. I don't have any clever comments to make, except that I really do love this very much. I love Merlin's clothes, his sulky expression, his posture, his bag (and the fact that he could probably fit into it), and his coffee -- so in short, I love everything! XDDD

[blueteak.livejournal.com]

I really adore this--the colors you use, the cheekbones, that crown in the steam. Just realized I'd recced this but hadn't left a comment. :)

[fuzzytomato02.livejournal.com]

I love this!!! Merlin's boots are amazing :)

[luisadeza.livejournal.com]

Your style is really gorgeous! Love the clothes on Merlin and the little crown is adorable!

[pixiedunhoff.livejournal.com]

Cute!

[star98hope.livejournal.com]

awwww, love the look on his face, and the coloring of the whole thing. feels very winter-y. :) hopefully they were reunited before too long!

[nuclearsugars.livejournal.com]

That fur collar/shrug thing is awesome. I can almost see Merlin typing out an angry text on his Blackberry.

[archaeologist-d.livejournal.com]

Very cute. Loved the look on his face.

[gwylliondream.livejournal.com]

Really gorgeous style. I hope he's not waiting for long!

[zephre.livejournal.com]
