Birthday Funtimes and Sense of Duty

[amphigoury]

Went down to the pub after work with the boys. They thought'd be hilarious to get me a Muff Dive Shot seeing as it was my birthday and all.  When I bent my head down to pick up the shot, I chipped my front tooth on the shot glass! That kinda shit is cool when your, like, 18 and all - but I'm getting too old to be explaining to my dentist that I've chipped my tooth doing birthday shots! 

In other birthday related news - My horoscope today said that "This year presents a great opportunity to start those projects that require patience". Thought that was funny because I've just wrapped up the concept/storyboard phase of a 50 panel Merlin comic that's going to take up a good portion of my springtime!

Which leads me to another story - last night I grabbed the 16 pages of storyboards I have for this 50 panel project, intent on scanning them to my computer to start laying down some basic sketches. I put page 1 on the scanner bed, and my scanner kicks the bucket! 



In other news - New art!



Merlin takes a crossbow bolt for Arthur.




Back when I was researching "The Bear Trap", I came across a few other scenes from Due South that could crossover. I knew I wanted to use this one from season 1's "The Wild Bunch".

I originally had it taking place in the jail cell like on the show, but as Dief's silence is forced, Merlin's is not. I couldn't imagine him NOT responding to Arthur pouring his heart out - so I whumped him good! I'm such a sucker for character peril. LOL!



Got lots of practice doing blood with this one. Arthur's expression in the last panel gets me every time.

Thank you so much for the comment! ^___^

I was wondering what brought it on - I mean the piece is like, 2 years old, LOL - but then I saw someone had reblogged it on Tumblr. Good ol' Tumblr - resurrecting dead art!

I'm glad I ripped your heart our and then made it swell until it exploded. Clean-up on aisle 5!
