Fandom: BBC's Merlin (post-canon) AU / Harry Potter
AU: the Royal Patronus
Characters: Merlin
Rating: G
Tagline: Slytherin student Gaius de Bois, in his previous life know as the Great Merlin.
About the manip: What if Hogwarts had the custom to have every student pose for a photo shoot at the start of the year? Yes, they would probably do so in front of a better location, one that reflected the student’s House, but the blank background is more stylish, especially if Hogwarts had acquired the noble tradition of having a magical year book?
About the AU: Under the manip.
Notes: I'm planning to do something with this manip (as in putting it together with the Patronus), but I thought I could share it as it is, since it's complete on its own.
Tec stuffs (aka Behind The Manip): This manip had been finished a year or so ago but was sitting on my computer waiting for its companion (the Patronus in its king form) to be done as well: I simply didn't know what to do with the (lack of) background of the original Draco Malfoy pic.
February the 1st I was tiding up a bit my WIP-Manips folder and decided to properly finish it (add the signature, check if everything's perfect)... and ended up changing Colin's face from scratch because the one I previously picked had a nasty "line of white light" on the cheek that irked me. Well, the second try turned out better than the original: this one fits better, Colin looks younger (even though both faces come from the Season 1 promo shoots) and the shadows/lights are more balanced.
Quite satisfied with the result. ^^
