Description
On tumblr: whimsycatcher.tumblr.com/post/…
If I ruled the universe, you can be certain there’d be a live-action remake of The Road to El Dorado, starring Colin Morgan and Bradley James! <3
Alas, that shall never be… This is actually a rather late submission for the Let’s Draw Merlin project over at tumblr! I chose to depict the scene when Tulio is preparing to leave Miguel (who has decided to remain a “god” in the city of gold) so I could parallel the peasant/royal relationship between Merlin and Arthur! Rushed a bit, so might do some touching up in the future… Well, probably not, lol. Hope you guys enjoy it as it is! ^^

I love this drawing, you captured the facial features and expressions perfectly! And I agree... There should be a live action movie remake. <3

I watched El Dorado just the other day and kept seeing these two in the roles... And someone actually made a fanart of it!
This is beautiful
Clearly you are a goddess among men

Oh, that's quite the praise, thanks so much! It's fantastic that others had the same idea - fangirls must think alike! ^^

You're very welcome dear! If they cant then there at the very least needs to be a fanfiction of sorts!

Thanks again, you're very sweet! As of now, I don't think I'll do more of this AU... I keep filling my head with completely different Merlin fanart ideas, which I hope you will enjoy! ^^

I love the warm light in this. Do you paint things in gray first and add colour later or do you paint in colour from the start?

Thank you, dear! Yep, I did everything in grayscale before overlaying some layers of colour. This isn't my usual process, though... I'll just do this with my more realistic portraits if I want something more monochromatic, or if I don't have a lot of time to spend (which was the case with this piece, lol). Painting in colour is important to practice, I think, and I do prefer the outcome of my portraits that were coloured from the start! Though I find it much more challenging than painting in grayscale...

Aha! I've never really understood how that approach works. I've tried it with my latest pic of Thorin O, but I ended up painting over it in colour cause I didn't like the look of it And I agree with you, paintings that were grayscale at first have this different quality, as though you can see the b and w work still shining through.
