Brain Flotsam V2.007

More quick meme art...

Title:  His Father's Throne
Artist: zephre
Rating: NC-17
Fandom: BBC's Merlin
Characters: Arthur/Merlin
Summary/Notes: Er, I suppose after all my kinky HP art saying this one kinda squicked me seems bizarre, but I surely hesitated before posting.  Drawn fast for cherrybina's Merlin Rimming Meme Also, the throne is based on the super fancy one in the S2 trailer images from episode 2x07, I think? The Witchfinder one. It may have been featured before, but I don't recall.
Kinks/Warnings: Rimming, magical bondage

Artist: zephre
Rating: NC-17

Summary/Notes: Er, I suppose after all my kinky HP art saying this one kinda squicked me seems bizarre, but I surely hesitated before posting.  Drawn fast for cherrybina's Merlin Rimming Meme, and also posted as a kink meme fill.
Kinks/Warnings: Rimming

More Merlin art, because most of that is not under anonymous posting rules for fests.  :P
I've been thinking about this pairing since 2x03 aired, but there are no actual spoilers in the pic.

So for weeks now I have been working in small increments to get a grip on Corel Painter (ok, months, but weeks in the case of this particular piece) in order to make some art in a different style.
This is an illustration for a fic in the BBC's Merlin universe, and I've used pre-Raphaelite inspiration, mainly Lawrence Alma-Tadema, especially for Gwen and Merlin, which some viewers may recognize.
I wouldn't say I was pleased with it, exactly, although I feel that it's an improvement over some of my previous Merlin attempts. I do love Gwen here, though.
Now I'd best get back to working on the deadlines and commission.


Title: "We have wine."
Artist: zephre
Rating: G
Characters: Merlin, Gwen, Morgana, Arthur
Medium: Painter with Photoshop touchup.
Summary: An illustration from the Arthur/Merlin fic, Awash with Love by burkesl17. Merlin climbs to the top of the castle to discover Gwen, Morgana, and Arthur sharing wine and lamenting their situation.
Notes: A not-so-subtle homage to Lawrence Alma-Tadema and the pre-Raphaelites.

Title: Knight & Sorcerer
Artist: zephre
Rating: G
Characters: Arthur Pendragon, Merlin (it's only kinda slashy if you squint)
Fandom: BBC's Merlin
Medium: Corel Painter
Summary: They're plotting something. Again.
Artist Notes: This is half an exercise in portraiture and half an exercise in Corel Painter. I am still not sure I am using its tools very well, but I'm getting better.  It's very weird drawing for a fandom in which actors' likenesses are the canon. Buh.

If you want to see if I got the likenesses remotely close, and aren't a fan, lo: http://www.bbc.co.uk/merlin/

Why is LJ doing maintenance right now???  Will have to re-post in the morning.
