Description Picture #2 for redjumper's Big Bang "We're Marching On".

I was really reluctant to start this one because I felt so sorry for Merlin!! And also Leon!

Beards and knights are my no-no, I actually wrote that I wouldn't be doing knights for the Big Bang, but I managed to pull it off afterall ^_^ *beams*

As for Arthur and Merlin, I observed my sister and her bf and tried to reproduce the pose. >.<
Merlin' leg keeps looking weird and both him and Leon look sort of girly~ But I stil love how it turned out in the end. ^_^

I'm happy you like it. ^_^

A Big Bang is a challenge where fanfiction writers have to write long stories within a certain amount of time and artist are paired with them to create art for their stories.
It's quite a lot of fun, especially when many writers and artist get together to present huge amounts of writings and art, as it was the case for the Merlin paperlegends community over at LJ. This whole month is is dedicated to posting all the finished stories and arts.

It is it's lots of fun.

I actually created myself a LJ account just so I could read all those brilliant fics and have a better access to communities. But I got to admit that I spend a lot of time just lurking about over there and just recently started to participate on bigger projects like the Big Bang

Thanks so much for the love

I was really sad to draw this scene with Merlin as well, I kept feeling so so sorry for him.

Your welcome
It would be interesting if that scene actually happened in the series although I would want to hug Merlin and never let him go.

Oh, Yes, I'd want to hug him too and pat him and offer him cuddles and cookies.

quinmari In reply to merlinlover [2011-08-10 21:14:41 +0000 UTC]

First thanks for the reply. I'm really happy you like this so much you'd like to use it.
Since I drew this for someone else's fanfic, I don't think she'll want to share this, since we both spend a lot of time on going over poses and surroundings and it was done with her story and writing in mind. So I'd rather you'd not steal it, though I'm really honored you feel my work is good enough for that.
I'm not to certain what you mean by copying though. Do you want to reproduce the poses of the people?

Is it OK if you tell me her deviantart name and stories title?, I'm very eager to see it! I wanted to write a story on your sketch. It looks like an epic plot! But then u said that it came from a story and i am so excited to read it. Its fine, i wont write a story on that but if I'm desperate I'll ask her but meanwhile i have a whole folder of unfinished stories so i gotta finish them.

Have a good day,
<<<>>>

Thnx <3

I'm not too sure if redjumper has a DA account, I just know her from LJ, since she was one of my designated authors for the Merlin BigBang.

The fanfic is called "We're Marching On" and can be found here at redjumper's masterpost : [link]

Plot bunnies are a terrible thing! I have so many and a whole notebook full with then. who knows if I ever get around to write them out properly.

Good luck on your stories
