This was the close. This was the moment.
He pressed the golden metal to his lips and whispered, 'I am about to die.'"

Thanks so much. The snitch was a surprise as to how well it came out.

I love the color scheme and the detail, especially his lips. His chin seems to just out a bit too far, however, it doesn't really detract from the overall quality of the work. Very wonderful, feeling portrayal.

That's what's so hard! When you're way impressed with something, you feel like putting one critique in makes the whole review sound negative, when I definitely felt positive about this piece.

clouded-ambition In reply to WishIWould [2007-08-07 17:51:30 +0000 UTC]

I'm really glad you're impressed with it.

Oh yeah. I like crits. I like hearing them, it always makes me take a look back at my art, make notes on what mistakes not to make again, etc. I can deal with them, and I don't think they make a comment negative, as long as you find something positive to say as well, even if its something small. That's how I critique others' works. :] I don't throw hissy fits like Sn...uh.... certain people on this site who can't take a crit.

I love the golden atmosphere; just that little light in the darkness. This might sound odd, but I like his eyelid (haha) the lines- like he has closed it tightly- really adds some tension to his expression which is otherwise peaceful. It reflects his emotion quite well.

This is the part of the book I choked up on the most! Heart just totally breaking for him T_T

clouded-ambition In reply to Kibo [2007-07-31 02:06:44 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! And it doesn't sound odd at all. I relish little things like that, I'm glad you take notice. The chapter made him seem so mature and calm about his death, almost accepting of it, but sometimes his fear would show through. I kept that in mind while doing his expression.

Yah! It was really an emotional part.

Hedonistbyheart [2007-07-28 00:36:39 +0000 UTC]

that scene's been stuck in my head since I read it, it's so deep and it really touched me. I tried to draw it, but I think it ended up quite crappy, so instead I set out to find somebody who could capture it much better. You've done that! it is so beautiful!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

clouded-ambition In reply to Hedonistbyheart [2007-07-28 18:57:11 +0000 UTC]

Lol, I've been doing that with many scenes of the novel-- searching Deathly Hallows on deviantART, bombing anything entirely awesome, and noticing what people illustrate or don't illustrate. Many, many Snape deaths, Ron/Hermione kissing, and Harry/Ginny, but not many Hedwigs and Dobbys, I notice. Thanks so much!

Hedonistbyheart In reply to clouded-ambition [2007-07-28 20:45:08 +0000 UTC]

jup, me too...that's true...actually there's one scene I'd love to see, but haven't found yet, the one with Hagrid carrying Harry, thinking him dead...gave me the same feeling as the scene your pic illustrates, it was very deep I think.

clouded-ambition In reply to Hedonistbyheart [2007-07-28 21:08:12 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I was just looking at the chapter art to 36, with Hagrid carrying Harry. Omg, that was quite a moment. It just tore me up so bad when all his friends and teachers started screaming and crying. I would've just jumped out of Hagrid's arms and yelled "I'M ALIIIVEE, BITCHES!! *avada kedavra's every death eater in sight*" But.... I'm pretty sure Harry did it better.

Until Voldie stops blinking in surprise and nails me in the back of the head with a big green one. Who could think that well under pressure? Harry's such a hero.

:] mine too. I caught a Today show interview with JK Rowling and she said that this chapter was the hardest and saddest to write, the one that she shed the most tears over.

Thanks much!

And I completely agree with your signature; the world will never be the same again.
Though, I think we can all forgive Snape's hygiene in lieu of his undercover awesomeness. ;]
