GEEZ LOUISE
I'm sorry, but I've attempted painting with acryllic, and all I could get was elementary level work. But this, this is AMAZING!!! That's flat out fanTASTIC. Wow. Just wow.

Thank you very much for such a kind comment.  I started off painting in oils, then tried acrylic and it took me a little bit to get used to the differences.  But now I love it and very rarely paint in oils anymore.

Absolutely. You completely deserve it. Well kudos to you, both oil and acryllic take some doing.

ObsidianSerpent In reply to Aithusa308 [2013-02-14 21:05:37 +0000 UTC]

Well, to ME he is, but not quite literally.

This picture was done as an illustration to a fanfic where Merlin is born with wings. He's not an angel, he just happens to be born with wings and has to hide them because he knows people will be afraid of them and his magic. It was a lovely story, but unfortunately I don't think the end of it was ever posted.

Still cool artwork! i wonder if you could give me a link to this fanfic, sounds interesting!

There's a link to the fic just under the picture.

Just to warn you, in case you aren't into that sort of thing, it is a Merlin and Arthur romance. I can't remember if there is any sex in it, but there might well be some towards the end, I can't remember. So don't click on the link if that's not your sort of thing.

I'm really sorry, I didn't realise it wasn't finished, that must have been very frustrating.

Back when I posted the painting and set up the link it was still being written and updated regularly, then I kinda forgot about it and assumed it had been finished, but I just went to look and see that the last chapter is missing.

It is a lovely story, looking at it again has reminded me of it and I'd like to know how it ends myself.

I'll edit my link to warn people it's not finished. Really sorry about that.

Thank you so much. A lot of people seem to quite like the idea of a character having wings.

I was never quite sure about it until I saw Castiel on Supernatural...now I get the appeal. *G*

I like the lighting in this picture very well done and I also like the story that goes with it, Merlin with wings is such a sweet idea, he's cute enough already and adding them just makes him so adorable, I would really like to stroke his wings, they look so soft and nice (I would also glomp and cuddle him but who wouldn't??) but he's sooo cute
