Title: All Apologies
Rating: T
Characters: Merlin, Arthur
Content notes: Aftermath of corporeal punishment (Lash wounds) This piece is done for [livejournal.com profile] merlin_ficart challenge #5 - to draw art for [livejournal.com profile] marguerite_26 's hurt/comfort fic "Making Apologies"
Summary: Arthur goes off hunting and leaves Merlin to make up an excuse to the King. Uther punishes Merlin, and Arthur angsts. 





Merlin lay in the center of the bed, cover pulled to his waist and his bare back exposed to the air. His arms were tucked under Arthur's pillow, his head turned away.

Love the light from the window, and the patchwork quilt, how thin Merlin is, his hipbone, Arthur's pose, everything! Great work!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First thing I did this morning was turn on my laptop to see if you posted!

Me ----------------> :D

This is just... perfect! GAH!!! I'm so in love. Arthur sitting on the bed with his face in his hands... so much emotion there. *clutches heart*

And the beautiful use of shadows and moonlight... with the scars of Merlin's back glowing like they are in a spotlight, only making Arthur feel worse.

Ah, man. I couldn't have asked for art to better portray what happened in this fic. Thank you. *flails* Thank you soooooo much.

[livejournal.com profile] marguerite_26's story is one of my favorite h/c stories, and I think your art brilliantly matches her fic. I love how even though I can't see Arthur's face, his grief and angst is still palpable.

I really adore this piece.

Wow, brilliant! I love the lighting in this, how it showcases the lacerations. Poor Merlin. Arthur's pose is also well done, encapsulating his sorrow. Nice job.

Ohhh. So painfully gorgeous. I love how the moonlight is illuminating Merlin's back, in such a way that Arthur can't possibly hide from it. *wibbles*

I love the lighting and shadows in this. And Arthur--I adore your Arthur.

Thanks very much, Riventhorn! (Between you and me, I think my Arthur adores you too...)

Oh, this is so brutally poignant. Even in sleep, Merlin is clearly in so much pain. Arthur's posture is just as painful - you know every cut of the last is going to scar Arthur for his life. Although it's daylight, their world is this dark place, and the light just hurts.

This is just incredible.

Lovely compostion. I love the moonlight falling across Arthur's face and then down across Merlin's back. (And I love the emotion in Arthur's pose)

Thanks, Itz! Yeah, I thought the moonlight would make for great emphasis, lol.

Thanks for the comment! ♥
