Art post for aftercamlann: The Golden Dragon

Title: The Golden Dragon on AO3
Author: sidhe_faerie
Summary: Maltese Falcon AU. Merlin races against Morgana to find the Golden Dragon which holds the secret to the location of the source of all magick. Morgana is looking for a long hidden statue but Merlin has the real story from Prime Minister Uther Pendragon. Arthur Pendragon and his singer girlfriend Gwen Leodegrance get caught up between the sorcerers as their race to find the Golden Dragon comes to a head.


Art notes: As soon as I read the summary for this story, I knew I wanted to do a movie poster. Inspiration came from a Google search for 1940s movie posters, The End title card was sidhe_faerie's excellent idea. A big thanks to puckboum and spacealtie for their super-fast beta turnarounds. (Silly me thought our posting date was Aug 28. Apparently I cannot read.) They both gave me excellent advice, which I incorporated in different versions of the poster. The one here is what sidhe_faerie chose for her story. All of the versions can be found here.
