Summary: "In fact, virtually all memory of the brilliance of the young Pendragons had been erased by two decades of betrayal, failure and disaster."

Artist notes: For Reel Merlin 2013! I would like to thank altocello again for her great beta work as usual! And a special wow and thanks to emjayelle for providing Merlin's drawings! You are wonderful and wow did they turn out so awesome!!! Please check out her post for the original full-sized versions of the Morganas! In the regret pile, I wish I could've done up a Gwaine as Eli piece... Wildcat..... Wildcat.... pow! .... And I would've also like to have done the "Needle in the Hay" scene... YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!!! *BREAKS ALL THE HEARTS*

OMG I love The Royal Tenenbaums, and these are so amazing! Merlin's, in particular, is pretty fucking fantastic. I love how you combined your art with MJ's, it's such a perfect match.

LOOOOVE these.

Thanks!

These are wonderful! I love the descriptions of these people and the rich detail in Merlin's portrait. All three of these Pendragons look remarkable unimpressed with their photographer and pretty pissed off at the world.

[amphigoury.livejournal.com]

Good eye! Now that I think about it, the movie was like that too - three pissed off characters at their lowest.

Thanks for the great comment!!

HUZZAH, YOU POSTED! This is such a perfect fusion, and you pulled it off just brilliantly, Amph! I'm so pleased to have been able to help! *hugs*

So I've never heard of that movie and have basically no idea what's going on BUT THE MERLIN PICTURE. IT KILLED ME DEAD. DEAD, I TELL YOU.

[amphigoury.livejournal.com]

I highly recommend giving it a watch! It's a great movie - and great cast!!

I'm glad you like the art too! ^____^ Thanks!!!!

I really loved watching the clip of the movie, it's been so long since I've seen it. The art is perfect and clever and really well suited to the movie- a perfect reel mash! Morgana turned out great and Arhtur as well, the commentary from the movie is so suited to all of them. But, wow, well done Amph and Emjay, because that Merlin picture is absolutely fantastic! Really makes me want to watch the movie again :D

[amphigoury.livejournal.com]

**HUGS** THANK YOU ALBY!!! Go rewatch!!!!
Yeah I was surprised at how well the movie fused!

[wanderlust48.livejournal.com]

No idea what the movie is about, but the art is great, they all looked like BAMFs.

[amphigoury.livejournal.com]

Thanks!! Give the movie a try! It's a good watch! The tagline is "Family isn't a word - it's a sentence" LOL!

[wanderlust48.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, that is the BEST tag line ever!!

[scotscookie.livejournal.com]
