{fanart} The Tilt In Yer Kilt

[altocello]

Title: The Tilt In Yer Kilt
Pairing(s): Merlin/anyone you'd like
Work Type (fic, art): Art
Summary: In which Merlin wears a kilt the way it's supposed to be worn while being utterly shameless in a bathtub.
Prompt: Saw this NSFW photo on tumblr and wasn't able to resist.
Perversities (Kinks, concepts): Utter Shamelessness
Warnings: Partial nudity, NSFW image
Artist Notes: Drawn with graphite pencils, kneadable eraser, and smudger on white sketchbook paper.

The title is from the punch line to a joke:
Lassy: "Laddy, I can tell yeh be wantin' to be lovin' me."
Laddy: "And how can ye be tellin' that, by the twinkle in me eye?"
Lassy: "No Laddy, I can tell by the tilt in yer kilt."

I was not going to participate in this round, I really wasn't. I told myself I was too busy with Paperlegends, and I'd just finished Camelot_Remix and the Merlin_Art_Fest. But then I saw that photo, and then reni_m said "Kilt," and I was lost to inspiration. I owe many thanks to my betas, amphigoury and reni_m, to the mibbit chat group for being fantastic cheerleaders, and to everyone who convinced me that (despite not needing any of the required warnings) this really is perverse enough. You are all filthy, filthy enablers, and ILU. <3

(And, random trivia detail, the fabric in the kilt is the Armagh county plaid. Google is a wonderful thing. Yes, I know it's Merlin and not Colin, lol, I don't care, I wanted it to be an Irish plaid. May as well be that one!)
