Art: "Elemental" (Merlin)
One afternoon of Photoshop frolicking later...
Title: Elemental
Fandom: Merlin
Pairing: Arthur/Merlin
Notes: el·e·men·tal
+ Powerful and wild; like the forces of nature.
+ Basic and fundamental; being the basic or essential constituent of something.
Gaius' hands shake as he sets the book on his lap. The prophecy is about two boys; one is not entirely human, and the other was brought into existence by the same forces that made the first. It only says fig.7, no names or dates, but Gaius can't help but think the resemblance is uncanny. He traces the boy's tattoo with the tip of his finger and wonders if Merlin will ever look like that, or if the tattoo will reveal itself as his essence unleashes.

Resources: This is very much a mixed-media piece. The boys were drawn directly in PS with the help of reference pictures I'm sure you all recognize. Some of the flowers are scanned from a book of flower illustrations I own, and others are scans of my own watercolours. The unicorn is a picture of a horse I found via a google search. Finally, the outline of the castle was made from pictures I took when I visited Pierrefonds. As I said, this is a mixed-media piece. :)
