stunning. and holy shit, details.

Love this to bits! The coat's Merlin wearing with the tree roots on the back is superb. Love how it hints at Merlin's imprisonment. And the way Morgana's hair curls and twists in the same way as the roots, but in a polarly opposite direction is just as suggestive and brilliant and it makes for great visuals. Lovely, lovely piece of art :)))))))))

This is fantastic! I love Merlin's robes and Morgana's hair. Also really like how casual it looks- like this is something Merlin does all the time. Great job! ♥ ♥

Ah Morgana, a woman after my own heart!

This is gorgeous! Merlin's coat, Morgana's face...

Is wrong of me that I'm just drawn to this coat and can't keep my eyes off it?

Also, Morgana looks great!

I love this! I love the pattern on Merlin's coat and the details on Morgana's dress, gorgeous!

This is awesome!

Wow! The detail on this is astonishing! The embroidery on Merlin's coat and the lace details on Morgana's dress (serpents and that scalloping around the edges!) are both breathtaking but I also really love the expression on her face and the way her hair almost looks like it's caught in a magical wind. Merlin's hand wrapped around her foot is a wonderful little touch that adds so much to the emotional impact of this piece. Gorgeous!!

Clever girl...can't say I blame her for this, I'd be sorely tempted too!

This is really good. ♥ I especially like the detail in Morgana's dress and her necklace. I love the shade of blue you used and that you kept it in one color -- it's striking that way. I like how you did Merlin's robes too. :)

WHOA. I love the dynamics-in-statics of this, gorgeous details, and most of all the almost engraving-like quality to it, as if it's a piece from some old chronicles... ♥

Amazing.

Wow! That's GORGEOUS <3<3<3

HNNNNNG yes, I hear you Morgana. :DDDD Love this, and Merlin's coat is gorgeous - love that stitching/print over there. And that closeup... eeee!

This is stunning! I love the style of it, and I adore the flow of Morgana's hair and Merlin's coat (the design of the coat is so gorgeous!)

Gorgeous!

Wow! I love the style of this and the details are incredible. Beautiful work!

Wow, fabulous! I love the perspective and all the details!

[identity profile] waltzing-mice.livejournal.com 2011-12-17 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
This is simply awesome, beyond the details and angle!

[identity profile] pathera.livejournal.com 2011-12-17 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
OH. MY. GOD.

THANK YOU!!! This is absolutely, absolutely beautiful! I mean, the sheer amount of detail--Morgana's dress and the thrones and Merlin's coat and, dear God, Morgana's hair. Asdfjkl, her hair, and the expression on her face, and her hand on his shoulder...

I think the best thing about this is that the story behind this scene is so easy to imagine, because you've brought it to life so well. And it's amazing! Thank you for such an incredible piece! :D

echoing everyone on the detail love! i have little patience for it myself, so when somebody does it so splendidly, i kind of--unghf. and the ecstasy on Morgana's face sends shivers up my spine! ♥

[identity profile] alba17.livejournal.com 2011-12-18 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, this is gorgeous. I love Merlin's cloak and the details on the dress and the chairs and how he's unlacing her boot. Morgana has lovely ideas about what to do with Merlin. :)

Oh god, the tree! I LOVE it!

[identity profile] nuclearsugars.livejournal.com 2011-12-19 08:08 am (UTC)(link)
The detail in this is blowing my mind. I love the tree roots on Merlin's cape and Morgana's gem-encrusted breasts. This is insanely intricate and hot as hell. Seriously. Saying "great work" doesn't seem adequate enough.

Oh god this is FANTASTIC. I have thought about Merlin/Morgana dubcon in this, er, pose for so long. But the details, the artistry! The tree on his coat and the shape of her hair ahhh! The way his fingers are TANGLED in her laces ilu so much. <3 <3

[identity profile] ella-bane.livejournal.com 2011-12-20 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH! The details are amazing, but GUH, the implications of Merlin/Morgana and WHY this is happening has my head spinning. Thank you!

Awesome! I love how you did this using only the one color. I'm so envious of people with artistic talent!

Oh anon, wow This is amazing. I just keep staring at it, finding more and more to be impressed by.

[identity profile] zephre.livejournal.com 2012-01-07 04:26 pm (UTC)(link)
wow, the details and the contrast are glorious here - the whole composition is lovely. The look on Morgana's face, her hair - amazing. And Merlin is beautifully rendered.
