Thank you.

I don't have/visit tumblr, so I have no idea. (I've been told that two of my other pics are on there though, so it might be somewhere.)

Ahh, well do you mind your art getting reposted? I'd love to post this on my tumblr, with proper credit and links back, of course!

Yeah, sure, if you would like to.

That's very flattering that you might want to. Thank you very much.

I love that Merlin doesn't come across girly in your pictures. Very nice pose and great expressions!

ObsidianSerpent In reply to Jackdaww [2012-09-01 07:48:56 +0000 UTC]

Thank you.

Yes, just because I'm depicting them as gay, doesn't mean I think either of them are less "manly", so I do try not to turn one of them into a surrogate woman. I want to keep them as two men together.

ObsidianSerpent In reply to creyk [2012-04-09 08:10:57 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much. (Some of the colours have actually come out a bit off compared to the real painting, Arthur's hair isn't actually that day-glo yellow on the painting. But I've given the painting to someone now, so I can't take another photo.)

Do you just give away awesome artworks like this

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

ObsidianSerpent In reply to creyk [2012-04-09 09:49:19 +0000 UTC]

Well, it's illegal to make a profit from fanart. I know people do it, but with my terrible luck I'd end up getting prosecuted, :g:, so I'd rather not risk it.

And you can only put so many bits of fanart up on your own walls without looking like a bit of a nutter.

So this way at least someone is enjoying them and they're not just gathering dust in my attic.

Do what I do! Put them into a closet, then they don't gather dust

I love the pose and their expressions!!! Arthur looks very confident, and Merlin looks a bit embarrased, though he gives the impression of trust

ObsidianSerpent In reply to delfinmichelle [2012-03-29 18:25:20 +0000 UTC]

Thank you. I know what you mean about Merlin's expression, he doesn't look entirely comfortable. In my head, he was thinking about something upsetting that he can't share with Arthur...maybe Balinor's death or something like that...and he's got this reserve in him that's holding him back from totally relaxing.

I don't like to explain too much about the pictures, as it looks as though you are making excuses for the faults. But I do think that all of Arthur is passionately in that embrace. But only some of Merlin is there...most of him is off inside his own head.

ObsidianSerpent In reply to bluebelle-88 [2012-02-05 13:48:34 +0000 UTC]

Thank you. Yeah, I love Arthur being all protective. (Normally Merlin is protecting Arthur of course, so it's nice to see the roles reversed.)
