Artist's Comments

This one was... quite the challenge. Completely different style from what I've been doing. Merlin and Jemma, as requested by :iconjemzy14:. She wanted them with the magic-gold eyes going on, head to head. Hopefully I did them justice! :boogie:

I didn't have a good reference for this one, so most of it is straight from my head. I checked the proportions of Merlin's face, and that's about it. Oh, and looked up how exactly the braid should look.... at 1am last night, I couldn't remember. :lol:


The biggest challenge in this their eyes. I just couldn't get them to look at each other. For a while, Merlin looked like he was crosseyed, it was kinda funny.... The lighting is also all over the place, which is what happens when I don't use a reference. I just light what ever looks good. :D :D

I also wanted to put magic swirls around them, but it turns out you can only do that with Photoshop CS4? The tool that the tutorials were talking about, the pen tool, doesn't seem to exist in Photoshop 7.
