This is all so incredibly cool to know. I love WIPs and behind-the-scenes (and bloopers, as may be the case) so much. =D
The final piece is gorgeous, and it's great to be able to know how it came to be as it now is. If you don't mind me asking questions, I'm particularly intrigued by the colour washes you did (are they in diluted acrylics? Do they serve as base so as not to paint over white, to help blocking out things, or something else?) and how/when you decided on which colours.
The part where you talk about your choice of keeping Merlin's deferent position made me wonder if that is why you put him in servant's clothes, too? I've noticed that they are actual regular servant garbs, too, and not the different version Arthur made him wear as a lark, and was wondering about that choice with a friend.
Btw, it may come off as odd, but it's a relief to hear that you wonder about kinks/likes showing through even in gen works, because I have the same preoccupation. On the other hand, I would like to toast you on your spreading of g-rated kinks and how they related to everyday life.
No dignity in art, I guess.

this is a fascinating guide through your process for this piece. Thank you for sharing it!
