Spring time means...flowers? And boys in love, apparently. I usually don't like drawing flowers, but digital vs. traditional is super different, so I might have to reconsider since it was actually nice?!! I guess it depends what kind of flower you draw, and thankfully carnations are on the easier side and floofy.
You can also view This Heart of Mine on AO3.
This piece was drawn for @merlintarotfest using The Citadel Oracle Deck for a card reading of The Shepherd (celebration and/or family), The Thief (seizing the moment and/or selfishness), and The Acolyte: (new projects and/or learning). Also fills a @merlinbingo artist square using the hex color #4FB477 (aka a really gorgeous and nice green for the spring!).
And okay, I guess my inspo really wanted to see soft boys having a stolen moment of love. I'm going to assume Arthur and Merlin don't have a lot of time to take a breather to express their feelings for each other openly, so in this moment, that's what they get. That's totally what they deserve too, right? More love and hugs and Nice Things.
I actually like how this piece came out, considering that this derived from a WIP I ended up scrapping, but what totally influenced my colour palette. Sometimes, going with the flow can make some magical things happen.
Anyway, happy April, and if it's nice where you are, go enjoy the outdoors!

my fanart for my @merlinbingo square "art format: recreate a famous artwork" 💖 The original art can be found below the cut. It's from a 14th century german menuscript called Codex Manesse, which has SO MANY illustrations!! You can find them all here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Codex_Manesse
idk if this counts as a "famous artwork" but I really liked it and wanted to make it merthur, so 😂

Third piece for @merlinbingo, the prompt was the colour #F2C57C which is a kind of golden beige if you were wondering
Like my second bingo piece, this is also from Merlin RVBB!!

Oh, hey! First time drawing Merthur in...over a decade? Whoops. I've never drawn these two in a muted colour way before, so this was fun!
You can also view Waiting For This Moment on AO3.
Drawn for @merlintarotfest using the tarot card reading of Ace of Cups (love and/or new relationships), Three of Cups (celebration) and The Chariot (action and/or determination). Also fills in a @merlinbingo artist square using the hex color #5DFDCB (aka bright aqua green).
I didn't realise how much I missed drawing these two dummies until I started making this piece. I always keep saying hair is awesome to draw, but gods, I have to thank Arthur and Merlin for having simple and nice hair to work with. Bless. 🙏🥰
And the influence of water definitely came from the Cups cards, since we think of emotions as things that flow between us. I could definitely see water symbolising that in a tangible manner, and lbh, there are so many Feels between Merthur that it made sense to portray them as vulnerable and you know, finally accepting what they have with each other.
This might be my cue to start drawing more Merlin art again. Let me know if you'd like to see more!
