This piece is based on something I’m doing for a creative writing unit:
Fortune's Bluff centres on Finn Gallagher, a reluctant fortune teller who took up the profession to earn some extra cash over the summer. Much to his astonishment, Finn soon realises that his predictions are eerily accurate. Before he can get used to this new reality, his world is turned further upside down when he experiences the daunting vision of a clients’ murder.

I haven’t been doing fanart or reading fanfics for a while now unfortunately (a fate worse than death) due to my uni coursework overflowing, but here’s something I did in my downtime over the span of a few months

I know it’s 2020 but Merlin AU where Uther notices a bunch of problems that could only be solved by magic ~spontaneously~ getting solved around Arthur, and concludes that this must be a side effect of Arthur only existing due to magical intervention. An intense bigotry-versus-parental-love internal conflict commences, followed by some that’s-pretty-hypocritcal-of-you-isn’t-it-dad screaming external conflict, generally upending everything. Merlin is standing in the corner the entire time holding a serving jug of mead and sweating.

Had a weird dream about this giant gothic(?) building in a hellfire(?) landscape, with a tiny hooded figure entering into the red light… no idea what it means but it was too cool not to visualise so

Haven’t posted in ages, but I’ve begun drawing random cityscapes and scenes out of objects on my desk in-between uni work. The second one is an aquarium made out of my hot chocolate thermos. It’s fun because I never under how to backgrounds, but you can see my learning to get more creative! :))

I fucking love this last one - my absolute favourite so far because of the purple highlights I thought to add on the back of the robot because of ambient starlight

Merlin Reverse Big Bang!
I had a lovely time working with remaymber, so check out their work on Ao3!! They wrote the accompanying fic Watching you like I’m in love, and it’s truly wonderful 🥰

Artist summary:
Arthur often found himself watching Merlin. In the beginning, he thought Merlin was your average (if insolent and slightly stupid) farm-boy graced with the great fortune of becoming Arthur’s manservant (much to both their ire). But the more he watched and the more Merlin began to intertwine with every aspect of his life, Arthur realised. . . Merlin was the greatest thing that ever happened to him.”

Hello Everyone
I’ve just opened an IMPRNT shop for my art! This is the link
I don’t have the ability to print and ship my art on my own unfortunately, so I’ve signed up with the site so the fine people of this site can own a physical copy of my works 🥰
The site offers Photo prints, Canvas prints and Metal prints among other options.
This is a collection of the works I will be putting up, as well as any future portraits and select comic pieces I complete:

This entire premise is hilarious, so of course I had to make a little cartoon about it
Tumblr media
I do think it would be a very funny fic to read where the magic reveal happens at the perfect intersection of Arthur trusts Merlin implicitly, and Uther is still alive and a raging asshole, and Arthur’s solution isn’t to nobly send Merlin away and pine miserably. Oh no. He finds a medieval fantasy version of a squirt bottle and squirts Merlin with it whenever Arthur catches him using magic like Merlin is a cat that keeps trying to chew electric cords.

Sorry it’s been a while, got caught up with some Reverse Big Bang pieces I can’t reveal yet 🥰
I can reveal this unrelated WIP though. It’s in its butt-fuck ugly stage where I know it’s good and on the right track but everything is messy and ew to look at, but I gotta learn to be more chill about art so-

It’s based off this classic amazing manip by @darasmithville (edit: I was informed this is the og post, but feel free to correct me if I’m wrong):
Also also, I have been attacked by bots recently. I think I report and block about… 5 a day? Apparently I’ve blocked 103 overall which T-T. So, if you wanna follow my stuff, I may ended accidentally blocking you if you ain’t got something in your profile. Sorry 😔
