Let me help you, sire [ART]

Summary:

He cried in pain and waited thousand years for his king to return. As the centuries passed, he hid himself in the forest and took place between the woodland creatures as their king. Now that Arthur is returned and he’s bathed in Arthur’s golden magic, he’ll never let him go. He vow to himself that he’ll show his king the beauty of the world and the magic within it.

Notes:

Hi lovely ones, I just came up with this new idea and i hope that you’ll like it! I always wanted to draw an elfic version of Merlin, i think pointed ears suit him well, and it only make sense since he’s basically already the king of all the magic things and nature spirits love him. But i have to admit, these came as afterthoughts. The first reason is that i love pointed ears. That’s it.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Hi beautiful souls! Another artwork is here to be shared with you.
You know that i love these two with all my heart, so i’ve  decided to give them another illustration, this time a proper one with both of them.

I don’t think this is entirely a fan art because is mostly inspired by the aesthetic of those two and by their character and because i feel that for me they are a lot more than simply Arthur and Merlin.

They are two archetypes: one is the king who brings the light and the life, and he’s the embodiement of the earth forces, one is the bringer of magic, unconscious and mistery. The link between the two is inevitable and evident and it is based on their complementarity. 

I also love to give them little contradictions: Arthur is a mighty king, but he looks at Merlin asking for reassurance. And look how our Merlin, our sweet, sensitive and tenderhearted Merlin, looks at Arthur with indulgence and certainty in his eyes, as to reassure and guide him. They’re made for each other and for me they are much more than two characters, they are the visual rapresentation of how love works.

Let me know what you think about this work! I would love to talk with you about these two dollopheads ❤️
