The automatic process was not perfect, but some masks and details such as the sword, etc. could be redone.

I used https://www.remove.bg/

@ Immortality. Why not remove the background yourself? Using Linux and Gimp 2.8 ? Gimp 2.8 is OK, it has all the essential tools.

Image quality: That is not a great jpeg. Lots of jpeg artifacts. I had a quick look around, nothing better that I can see, but if there is one use it.

It can be improved a little using the gmic plugin - there is a unquatisize (jpeg smooth) filter. 

IMHO nothing is better for this type of image than diving in at a pixel level using a layer mask. 
If the image details are 'dubious' because of similar colours, add a duplicate and 'tweek-it' as a reference .
The default checker transparency marker can be distracting. Add a BG layer, some neutral colour light blue / green / grey. This can show up the bits you missed.

   

Then just a matter of (carefully) painting out the BG.

Hello everyone,

Thank you so much for your skilful contributions.
I humbly feel rich2005's worked out best, with everyone elses contribution being ever better than what I can presently do.

Unfortunately I run Windows 10, 32-Bits. The Gmic plugin only works with 64-Bits. There are older 32-Bits versions available, but it was uncertain if this would work with the latest versions of Gimp. I would have liked to use this plugin to attain my goal, but couldn't.

Would master Rich be willing to receive €30 via Paypal?

Thank you and yours kindly,

Immortality

I never require paying, if you do want to part with some euro's then try http://www.gimp.org/donating/

Even with win10 32 bit that will run a Gimp 2.10, the gmic unquantisize does not fix very much. A better way is start with a quality image.

Just practise as much as possible and you will get there.
