Description I am obsessed with Merlin. OBSESSED.

Series: Merlin (BBC)
Characters: Arthur, Guinevere
Media: CS2, Intuous3
Notes:
(1) "What Are You Afraid Of" is a song by West Indian Girl that I had on repeat while drawing. It's becoming my Arthur/Guinevere theme song.
(2) I don't practice enough with realism, so I'm a bit rusty. I would love some feedback on what does/does not look enough like Bradley James and Angel Coulby.
(3) Used stills and caps from episodes 1x13, 2x02, and 2x04 for reference.

Merlin is the most fantastic show, ever. Have you been watching the latest season? I'm in love with "Aithusa", adore that episode. What's better than dragons and Arthur being magically pantsed??

This is an amazing drawing! Excellent.

You know. You have captured Bradley's eyes and Guinevere's mouth. Well done. Nice composition.

I think your Gwen is perfect and She looks so beautiful, but I think your Arthur resembles him but his mouth may be wrong. I think it's one of Bradley's stronger features which is why he might look alittle off to me.

I am just starting to practice painting people realistic so I'm not an expert. Attempted to paint Merlin yesterday for the first time. What medium did you use?

you need feedback? i can do that! :3
overall it's a very good picture. gwen looks perfect. arthure on the other hand has some nit picky flaws that i see. his neck width and head size are very slightly out of proportion and the eye nearest his ear loks a little off. other then that you did amazingly well! i really like the pic!

the likeness is great, but there is something slightly off with arthur. i'm not certain but i think it might be his eyes...

The-Ribboned-One [2010-04-01 15:06:12 +0000 UTC]

This is really beautiful! ObsidianSerpent is quite right, the softness of the colours work wonderfully.

In terms of your concerns about the realism, Angel Coulby is spot on! I think the only thing needing a tweak on Bradley is the eyes. They might need to be fractionally larger?

From my own experience I know that he's a tricky one to draw! Really great work though.

RedDesertRose [2009-11-22 02:15:28 +0000 UTC]

Oh that is so prettyful! It's a really good likeness. I think there is something a little off with them both but I can't put my finger on what it is. But you've definately got Bradley's expression - did you take it from the moment just before he kisses her? When she's given him the favour and he just sort of looks at her with a slight smile and then swoops down....*has watched this episode too many times*

Neptune47 In reply to blue-remon [2009-11-08 06:29:17 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I completely agree. I love Arthur's relationships with pretty much everyone on the show, but the Arthur-Merlin bromance is one of the most interesting things about the series to me. The boys are so silly .

lol I know right? Have you seen the video diaries? They are so funny! Especially When they go to the french amusement park. Bradley, Colin, and angel are really funny together.

Neptune47 In reply to blue-remon [2009-11-09 07:57:38 +0000 UTC]

"Je ne parle pas francais, je suis anglais~" Bradley singing that killed me. Dead. I don't know how the universe ended up putting so much awesome into one man, but I think we are all quite fortunate that it did.

I haven't seen all the video diaries yet. I'm waiting until this season is over so that I have something to tide me over when I go into Merlin withdrawal. I'm also waiting like a crazy person for some Region 1 Merlin DVDs. It's taking all the strength I have not to import the English boxset, or get the Japanese DVDs as they are released (Merlin in Japanese could be interesting, no?).
