Art for the Oh Canada Comment Fest -- PART II

[amphigoury]

The Oh Canada Comment Fest asks us "WHAT IF YOUR FANDOM WAS SET IN CANADA?"







I can't stop! I thought it'd be funny to see Arthur being "Screeched In" as an honourary Newfie. My headcanon is that Merlin is a Newfie. I blame Colin's Irish-ness on that.

What happens in a "Screech-In"?


Here's ART!








On Tumblr, if you'd like to reblog!

Hee, I loved watching you work on this. My favorite parts have to be Merlin with the flag wrapped around him, and Arthur's hat, haha!

Thanks for commenting!! ^____^

You are so fabulous. Merlin with the NFL flag around his shoulders just BEAMING as Arthur kisses the cod.

The Sou'Wester and the tie?

♥♥♥♥♥

I like to pretend Arthur is a bit of a posh. He was probably expecting a different type of night out. He even hold his shot glass with pinky extended, LOL. And the sou'wester is part of the ritual.

Newfie!Merlin will fix him up!

LOL, thanks for the amazing fest! I've turned out two pieces in as many days - I feel inspired!!! THANK YOU!!!!

Love that not only is Merlin in a NFL flag, he's wearing GREEN, lol. And the hat plus the tie and sweater, lol. Arthur's expressions; hee, can you imagine Bradley James and his face if he did that... wait, you did, lol! I adore that hopeful anticipation on Merlin's face in the first frame too, he's sooooo excited you can practically see him bouncing in place. And ONLY IN CANADA. :D

THANKS CELLO!!!

The green was surprisingly hard. I didn't want to go with it because it's pretty much the same combo Colin wore to a con once, but any blues or purples got lost in the blue of the flag and Arthur's sweater, and reds or yellows didn't fit. I almost went with a light brown, but that was the BG colour, so no. Green it was! So now you can also pretend it's a Canadian Bradley/Colin AU, LOL!

I will confess to thinking about the typewriter shirt when I saw it, lol, but that's OK. Funny how the colors just TELL you they're supposed to be there, isn't it? It's like it wanted to be a RPF AU as well, lol. I was thinking it was just another way to emphasize his family is Irish, lol.

good call!

LOL! This is wonderful. The expressions on their faces are perfect :)

[amphigoury.livejournal.com]

Thanks, lol! I'm glad you like it!

You Canadians are weird, man. WHAT IS THIS AND WHY DO I LOVE IT!! I think their expressions are perfect! Arthur kissing the cod with his smart shit/tie/jumper ensemble and THE HAT! I love the hat :D

[amphigoury.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but you still love us, LOL! Go to Newfoundland, and you can do it too!!!!

[thecheekydragon.livejournal.com]

Merlin looks so proud of Arthur in that first frame and I love how he wraps the flag around Arthur in the last frame. Arthur is now one of them!

I can't stop smiling at Arthur in that sou'wester fisherman's hat. It's so delightfully at odds with his button down, tie and jumper.

Thanks! This piece was great fun to draw. Lots of energy!
