About the manip: A by-product manip of an edit I'm planning to do about this AU. A manip that I'm not even sure I will even need, but I made it nonetheless to have something to pair with a "Morgana wearing a crown" and a "Arthur wearing a crown". Don't ask. Anyway, since I need to complete at least two others manips to even think about start to work on the edit... well, of the three I already have completed, this is the only one I can immediately share.
And I'm not even sure I'll do that edit to start with, now that I think about it...?
About the AU: I still have to properly decide where this AU will head and how much "fantasy" it will be. Should I include Morgause (and pick Gwen as the third person for Arthur's side)? Will I give the four a Sword with a Soul? I'm still thorn about that.
For now I can only say that it's an AU that follows more closely the "canonical" fantasy tropes and it will reflect on the costumes (especially on Arthur's armor). In this AU Merlin is already a well-know warlock of great power, the loyal shadow of the Once and Future King. Morgana, Arthur's half sister and enemy, will have her champion in Mordred.
Tec stuffs (aka Behind The Manip): I had a bit of trouble finding the right size for Colin's head, and fix shadows/highlights proved to be harder than it looks, but otherwise it was a pleasing time and the result is satisfying enough to me.
Placing the signature was pure fun. It's possibly the most frustrating and yet more rewarding part of making a manip.
