Title: "Doors Unlocked and Opened"
Artist: altocello
Fandom: Merlin RPF
Pairing: Bradley James/Colin Morgan
Rating: G
Media: Woodless pencils (HB, 4B, 9B), smudger, and grey gummy eraser on white sketchbook paper. GIMP used to correct for contrast lost when photographing the original and to add my sig.

Summary: In which I remix Alby_Mangroves' drawble "Bradley Has a Revelation" by reversing the camera angle when Bradley walks in on Colin changing out of his Merlin costume.

Notes: Thank you, Alby_Mangroves, for letting me remix your work! When I got my assignment I was so excited that I literally squee'd out loud... and then I promptly began to agonize over how on earth I would be able to come up with a remix that did justice to any of your finished works.

Huge thanks go to my betas and sanity checks, amphigoury and reni_m, without whom this would be so much the poorer!

DO NOT REPOST THIS WORK WITHOUT *MY* EXPRESS PERMISSION. Linking to this post and/or reccing is perfectly wonderful, thank you.

The title is taken from the Death Cab for Cutie song, "Doors Unlocked and Open."

You got him from both sides. :) And they're both great.

The smattering of chest hair, the six pack abs...the bulge! Fantastic!

HEE. I DID. And it was good. This one was harder to do than the other, it's more complicated and not such a simple pose. I'm glad you liked the elements I included!

I love how you drew Colin's chest. Looking really good! I particularly like his arms. ♥

Thank you! I think his chest and arms are under-rated, especially since he's made some headway on the muscle front by going to the gym. Would that the BBC saw the potential! So, I figure I can help make up for the lack of shirtless!Colin, one drawing at a time. :D
