merlin_holidaysTitle: Wear This Belt For All To See
Recipient:slightlytookish
Artist:luisadeza
Rating: R
Pairings: Merlin/Gwaine
Medium: pen + ink
Warnings: -
Disclaimer: The characters depicted herein belong to Shine and BBC. I make no profit from this endeavor.
Artist's Notes: This was inspired by the story of the Green Knight and especially the green belt that protects Gwaine, but is also seen as a sign for the weakness of the flesh in some interpretations. And who if not Merlin is Gwaine's weakness?
I hope you like it and that I managed to cover some of your wishes with this,slightlytookish! Happy Holidays! ♥
Many thanks to my betas/additional pairs of eyes, S., C., & R.!

Date: 2011-12-28 04:52 pm (UTC)This is so amazing!! I love everything about it. ♥ You drew them so beautifully and I just can't get over the details of their hair and Gwaine's chainmail (OMG the chainmail! I have so much love for it) and Gwaine's fingers on Merlin's chin (so lovely!). I love how you represented so many different aspects of their relationship here - tenderness, passion, companionship, friendship - you say so much about them in just three scenes. I couldn't choose a favorite bit if I tried.
And you drew me boys on a quest! On my very favorite quest from the legends. :D I love how you brought Merlin into that story here, and that it's his scarf taking the place of the belt. It works so perfectly for them, and I love that it's the only bit of color in this piece. And the horses! I have to mention the horses because they're so gorgeous. Oh and I think Gwaine is wearing his old S3 clothes and boots I adore? :D
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! This has made me so happy. Best gift ever! ♥

Date: 2011-12-29 05:57 pm (UTC)Such a lovely piece of art, I love that you've kept it b/w with just the green colour standing out. And Gwaine's fingers on Merlin's chin ♥ Merlin's little smile looking at Gwaine in the bottom piece! Also, hair ♥

Date: 2011-12-30 05:27 am (UTC)The way the scenes flow together makes me think of memories being recalled quickly and shifting from one to the next. Really gorgeous. ♥
