Merlin - (Manip) A Legend is Born [S3 SPOILERS]

WARNING: SPOILERS FOR UNKNOWN EP FROM THE END OF SERIES 3. Don't click unless you're willing to be spoiled.

A/N: Behind-the-scenes spoiler pics surfaced from Sébastien Quérité's blog just over a week ago, and I really fell in love with the composition of one of them. I wanted to see what the picture would look like without all of the equipment and extra crew members in the shot, so I set about cleaning it up a bit. (MORE BEHIND THE SPOILER CUT) 

 Preview:

A/N 2: I fell in love with Gwen's dress and the visual of it splayed across the long wooden floor. Since it's been the case in the past that scenes like this one end up filmed from entirely different angles/directions than we see in the behind-the-scenes pics, I wanted a cleaned up version of this particular shot.

In addition to the crew members, I also removed Merlin because he was making a bit of a wild gesture, and I wanted the focus to mostly be on Arthur and Gwen. Of course, this meant Arthur was left grinning at no one. I messed around with changing Arthur's expression to something more neutral, but I couldn't find a picture I liked. So I left it as is and added the crown/pillow from a separate picture to at least give him something to be looking at lol.

It's not perfect, but one can only spend so many hours trying to re-create a person's hand without a Tablet, so there it is.

Feel free to use for wallpapers/icons/wtv if you like, but please credit me for the manip (it may not be much, but it did take a while). The picture itself is credited to Sébastien Quérité.

Just wonderful. I dont watch this show but I am always in awe of your work. Also, on first glance something dirty came to my mind but ignore me, I'm just weird like that.
