Title: 'Snowball Fight' and 'Lake'
Artist: einahpets
Characters: Arthur & Merlin
Rating: G
Warnings: N/A
Mediums:  Watercolor and colored pencil
Summary: From nomical's summary for artists claims
'When Arthur returns it isn't with a crack or a boom. The world doesn't shake and people don't flock to his island. In fact, the world doesn't seem to notice anything at all, say for one man. This is a story about Arthur's return, adapting to life in the 21st century, relearning how to interact together, and finding out that maybe this time destiny doesn't start with a capital "D". It's not your typical save the world story, but it might take them a while to realize it. '
Artist's notes: A couple of illustrated scenes from an aborted fic by nomical. Unfortunately the fic these are based on was getting too big, and in order to finish PL she made the hard decision to switch to a new story.
First illustration is a snowball fight b/w Merlin and Arthur where Merlin cheats a bit. The second is a slightly comedic version of Arthur's return. Basically his reaction after he finds out how much time has passed.

Title: The Knights
Artist: einahpets
Characters: Leon, Percival, Lancelot, Elyan, and Gwaine
Rating (if applicable): G
Warnings: N/A
Mediums: Gouache, colored pencil, and metallic markers
Summary: Boys with toys!
Artist's notes: Once I knew I was going to make a solo art post, I decided I wanted to have a bit of a 'bang.' So in addition to finishing the original 2 pieces, I decided to do my own project.
The story of these knights is actually old. I started this project almost 2 years ago with Lancelot, and I had plans to include the other 4, as I felt there wasn't enough knight art in Merlin fandom. But then I stalled. Last year around this time I managed to get some energy and all 5 of the knights got to the barebones line art stage, but then I lost steam. Again. And it didn't help that the show killed 3/5 of them. So on my desk they sat, collecting dust while they watched various other projects get started and completed. It was sad. However, when my writer changed ideas, I decided it was the perfect time to finish them. So with less than a month to my posting date, I locked my preview entry, sat down, and worked. Well, worked when I wasn't going to Yankees games. Let me tell you nothing is more disruptive than free baseball. ;) Anyway, I manged to get them done and I think they look fab.
Shoutout to gwyntastic for gifting me with the metallic markers. When I received them, I promised her I would use them for a project. Well better late than never, right?

Here's my camelotremix !
I got amphigoury , which is really great since I know she's super chill about anything I may possibly do.

For this project, I went in wanting to do something different. Partly to stay anon, partly so I could explore what an art remix is. These ideas ranged from paper collages to just reworking the piece in my style, or drawing from a different perspective. But first I had to pick a piece. Without a decided medium I had about 3 pieces I was contemplating playing with, just because I liked them. Then I decided a paper collage would be too much work, and I remembered that I could do printmaking and that settled that. So now I just needed to pick a piece that would look great as a relief. I narrowed it down to 2 (ironically none of the first images I was toying with using). The one I didn't pick would have looked great as a relief, but was already kinda one so that would have been a cop out (it was her famous artist project) and the other, which I did pick, was the stabby sword one. And dayum, choosing that one worked out so well!

So without further ado, the art! Beware the warning, I may have a heart of ice, but I understand others do not.

I decided to do a speed drawing of Colin in Merlin wear just to stay loose. Man, am I rusty.
Anyway, I would like to do more of these, and maybe get a few others to join me? XD

Using a reference picture, and my youtube timers ... Total time on drawing, 10 min 29 sec.

Woo!  My entry for merlin_games.

My prompt was Alternate Universe, which I took as an excuse to make Merlin actually competent with a sword and give the boys long hair.  Yes, I'm shameless.

Questionable content. Poor quality. Great audio ... when my finger doesn't cover the microphone.
