{fanart} Moonlit Floor

[altocello]

Ah, first post in my brand new journal. What shall I put here? I know! Art! Fanart, but it's still art!

"Moonlit Floor" by altocello
Warnings: None
Spoilers: I can only hope we'll get to see something like this
Disclaimer: Not mine, just playing
A/N: Basically, I was listening to "Kiss Me" by Sixpence None the Richer and this popped into my head: Merlin slips off to the lake one night and dances with Freya, the lake as their moonlit floor. And then it demanded to be let out. Now. Then I see a prompt while lurking on kinkme_merlin asking for art about a stolen moment between Merlin and Freya, and I think, "I'm working on that right now, I should post it." But I had no account. Now I do, and here it is!

[ETA: There is now MUSIC to go with this! gfeather created a beautiful companion violin piece, "Freya in the Moonlight," and was kind enough to let me embed it in this post; please please please go leave her love for it HERE!]

This is beautiful. I love the lighting on Freya's face and Merlin's shirt.

Thank you very much! I had to play with the lighting on her face a lot (how much, which parts of her face the reflection off of him would highlight) before I was happy with it.

This is so gorgeous!

Something about Freya's eyes are just killing me.
They are both so beautiful and you captured them perfectly. ♥
