Made of awesome. Love the dragon, and the runes, and the light on the knife, and the shading, and, and, and... I should stop. But it's COOL!

Dead, I am dead. This is so awesome! ♥ I was so excited to see Mononoke taken as an art prompt and I'm happy you were able to keep it. Nice twist with the runes!

Wow, that's amazing! I love the way you've done the depthl, and the details of the runes and staff, and the knife - it's just gorgeous. And now I really want to go watch the movie again. :D

This is awesome! I love how you blurred out Kilgarrah.
When you do that in your arts it always makes it look like a photograph.
And how could I not mention BAMF!Merlin here?!
Freakin' sick!

Okay, I confess I have never watched Princess Mononoke the whole way through got distracted about half way last time I tried.

This however is completely gorgeous.:)

Amph, this is amazing! I love the feralness and, as always, BAMF!Merlin. I've never seen Princess Mononoke, but the quote fits the artwork marvellously. Kilgharrah just looming in the background is awesome.
(And the runes on his arm is such a nice touch!)

Oh my god, this is AMAZING. BAMF!Merlin will forever and ever be my favorite, and he's just PERFECT here. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Excalibur runes going up his arm.

UNF. You know Arthur would be all over that. And I love the idea of the runes matching Excalibur!!

Indeed he would! LOL!
Yeah, for some reason tattoos/runes/scars are a prerequisite for all of my BAMF!Merlins... ♥!

What really astounds me about this -- other than basically everything -- is that there are definite Miyazaki influences to this, but it's still entirely yours. It's really something.

(Also, Kilgarrah is absolutely terrifying. I keep scrolling to look at him, and a few moments later I have to scroll back down. And then I scroll up to look at Merlin, stare a bit, then notice Kilgarrah is still in the background and have to scroll back down again.)

((Also also, the shading and color palette in this are spectacular. The fact that it's so dark makes Kilgarrah's eyes really pop, as well as the glint on the knife.))

(((Also also also, I'm kind of in love with the little decorations/dangles on the staff.)))

When I sent this piece to a beta, they spent a full 2 minutes looking at it before they even realized Kilgarrah was there! LOL! So he melts into the background well.

I had fun drawing the little dangly decorations... seems to be a running theme, lol

Thanks for commenting!!!

I gotta say the horns and pelt and staff are just awesome. And how in the world do you make a drawing out-of-focus? Is dazzled.
