BBC Merlin Animatic [ Non-Stop ]

Had this idea stuck in my head and couldn't get it out, so threw this together in a couple of days!! I love the potential of the Merlin and Mordred dynamic, and really wish they'd had more time together. There's nothing quite like this confrontation in canon, but it feels like something that definitely could have happened. On a different note, please excuse the completely ridiculous lighting! I was trying to create the illusion of a window and lighting while also not spending too long. :) Hope you enjoy!!
Song is from Hamilton, characters are from the show Merlin by BBC.

Ahh I wouldn't have thought of this but it works so well! I really like Kilgarrah in the background for the "wait for it wait for it wait" part, bc... yeah...

[@takingasterix]

Aah, thank you so much!! Haha yeah...

[@user-lt8lm1vv9v]

Aaah this is amazing!!! It works so well too - for Mordred and Merlin both!

[@takingasterix]

THANK YOU!!

[@NerriNerri-n4g]

I DIDN'T KNOW THIS FANDOM WAS STILL ALIVE!!
Thank you for making this content, I loved the part where Kilgharrah was whispering into Merlin's ear, and the little dragon?? Is that referencing Balinor?? Your artstyle suits the characters so well!!! Merlin's cheekbones and Mordred's floofy hair ❤❤❤

[@takingasterix]

OMG I'm so glad you like it!!! Yes I just watched the show a few months ago and I was SHOCKED to see people still creating content for it---pretty much no animatics, though, but I am happy to provide :)
YES the dragon is one hundred percent the wooden one that Balinor gave Merlin.. I couldn't find any reference pics, so it might not be exact. Thanks so so much for your comment!! :D
