Description
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, and !NOTE: This is not my version of jumping on the Snape bandwagon. Why?
A) It's being overdone to death; Snape was never that cuddly. I mean, come on, there's a reason Lily married James.
B) My mom is one of my most trusted critics and hasn't read the book yet, so no shpoilers for her.
Anywho! This is my first male Harry Potter character that I've drawn. We had just happened to watch HP5 (for my fourth time; I'm not one to say "no" to an opportunity like that when it arises.
) at the IMAX in Huntsville, AL (HP on a dome... The panning shots were awesome!!) when I was suddenly struck by the fact that Alan Rickman is the most perfect actor for Snape and that his costume is absolutely gorgeous. I want a cloak like that. So I was inspired to draw Snape. Don't ask me why it's taken me five movies to realize both of the aforementioned facts about Snape in the movies.
The way I've drawn him is closer to what I see his actual age as. In the books he's only, what, in his forties? But Mr. Rickman is again such an awesome Snape that I can forgive him for being a few years older than that.
EDIT:
M'kay, so the only other actor I might possibly see playing Snape is Jeremy Irons. And whaddya know, he's, er, actually played the part!
And I do like his portrayal of Snape. lol.[link]
Oh! This is actually another of my infamous Sunday sketches. But it turned out so perfectly I didn't dare re-draw it on bigger paper.
Anywho!
Media:
2H, 2B, and 3B graphite pencils
0.5 mm lead Mechanical pencil
4x6 inch paper
Other necessary stuff:

Oh noes... does your evilness also carry any femininity with it? ^.^;; If so, I'm in trouble... evil I can handle! But... a cute and girlish nature?

Ummm... I don't know? Wait... <.< >.> YES! YES IT DOES. (Ok, maybe it does... I just want to see what would happen if it did...)

Hahahahahaha, oooh, you are just too cute miss ;D It always cracks me up and makes me smile to hear from you

Or should something such as this make an E.O.A smile???? Hmmm... I still have much to learn before I graduate....
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
YAY FOR HAPPINESS! 
Hmm... that's a valid question ^.^ But I'm sure that even E.O.A. types have circumstances in which they can be happy and derive some sort of pleasure from personal and non-evil communication.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmmm... I could just claim it as a bit of P.R. practice so that I won't be so awkward talking with the people below my in the future, I suppose... Knowing how to actually smile makes quite a difference in how the people perceive an overlord, I've noticed.

Hahahahaha XD Excellent spin on a totally innocent and sweet moment miss!

Uh huh. Tell me, is that halo hovering over your head by itself, or are there horns holding it up by the sides? These angel emotes are a little vague on the details.
Singing is fun... Especially when no one else is around to listen to me warble.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
<.<;;; >.>;;;
Hahaha, while I have absolutely NO grounds for saying so, I somehow doubt that you 'warable' (brings a chocobo to mind, isn't that ironic?)... you likely have a lovely voice and you're just being mean to you! Who has horns now, huh?!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
If you insist.
I'm an E.O.A. The horns have been sawn off.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Excellent point, I suppose it does go a long way to not advertise your evilness... mmm, clever ^.^
HA! I knew it!

Certainly helps gain the citizenry's trust.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's true, I was almost always one of maybe 3-5 guys in the entire choir though, so I always had to hold my own 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, it's harder to hide things like horns from the citizens nowadays because of the paparazzi, but we manage. Have to get really creative sometimes, like wear big black helmets that make your voice sound like Mufasa and make funny breathing sound, but people end up thinking it's cool.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
"Mufasa!"
"MuFASA!"
"MUFASA!!!!!"
Hahahahahahahahaha! XD Sorry
Ahhhhhhh, you know, there was always an overabundance of altos in the choirs I was in... but they were notably unenthusiastic, the sopranos were always a lot more... awake, not to mention quite lovely sounding
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
MUFASAMUFASAMUFASA! *manic hyena laughter in the background* >.> Stupid brothers... I should keep them locked up more often...
Really? I've never been in a choir where there were more altos than sopranos... Woooow...
My younger brother tried tenor for a while... I told him he really needed to move over to the bass section. And, whaddya know, he started sounding better. Neither Justin Timberlake nor Josh Groban will he be. Fortunately, we did have one of our old directors for that particular program, else she'd have picked him out and made him sing until he got the right note...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hahahahahahahahahaha! XD Ah... wonderful ;D
Yeah, the choir around here was pretty weird... half the girls in them weren't at all interested or enthusiastic. At least the guys of the school were honest about it- they didn't like choir so they didn't join XD By my senior year, I was one of *three* men in the choir
Aaaaah, it sucked so much having to sing right at the absolute edge of my range all the time
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wow... Most of the girls around here won't sing unless it's country music... At which point I beg them not to sing anyway...
And still they made you sing tenor??? Dang... They must've thought you sounded pretty good in that range, despite what your throat was telling you.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Heh, considering how many people my school had and how many people ended up in the choir, I'd say that most girls didn't want to sing either... but the girls that did were wonderfully cute about it, they all seemed (the good ones) seemed to share a love for theater and musicals, etc.
Yep-yep... I could hold my own, sometimes, but I was never the strongest singer in the choir, certainly not the men's sections either... that honor lay with Chris
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Meh, we can't all be soloists. A choir would never sound very good if there weren't people who could blend.
I did something yesterday that I've never done before: I refused to sing the alto harmony on a song. And the director person kept hinting that my mom could take the soprano part and I could take the alto (since I always sing alto...), and I looked at my mom and said, "I'd like to sing the soprano." Yay for me!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hahaha, yes, it is... I'm sorry to say that most of the girls (and guys) in my school were typically shallow and immature; the guys were afraid of being in choir 'cause it wasn't very masculine, I guess and the girls simply couldn't be bothered doing something so unpopular. The ladies and gentlemen of the arts at our school, dance, choir, band, orchestra, they were the special ones, the different ones.
Yes, we've come a long way.... *down*hill
Very true, but since I was only one of three guys in the end, being able to confidently hold my own would have helped
Oh wow, ooooooh, you asserted yourself, very nice 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Duuuude... If I had my choice, I'd listen to an male choir over a regular choir any day... And girls... Well, blah to girls who can sing, but don't choose to. For the folks who are tone deaf, that's a different story, and no choir would be the same without an audience.
lol.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmm... I'm a bit torn myself, I've heard some awesome performances by male-choirs, but I love the sounds of a female choir!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol. I like to hear the bass sections when they get to cut loose and go really low. Sopranos to me are just too diva, usually. Going high is nothing for them. The lower ranges seem to be a little less edgy to me. (I guess personality-wise I don't really fit with the soprano section. lol.)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hahahaha, interesting perspectives... basses going super-low are pretty cool, I must say
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
So you're baritone, right?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ooooh~ Hardcore choir-girl!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nah. Just that our tenor section is so weak that the alto sometimes helps out during the practices. (Usually, very few of our guys can read music, so they have trouble hearing their lines and all.)
lol. Slightly above bass range, and yet slightly below tenor, right?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I never was good at reading music, but I could get along okay. I don't know why our directors never focused much on teaching us how to read music... Eh... I guess? It's been too long ^.^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Perhaps they expect you to learn it as you go along? I don't really know why they don't teach how to read music, either...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hehehe, I was never that sharp with music... educational lessons on stuff like that, the practical stuff, would have made me a lot more confidant... as it was, most of the people couldn't read music at all, so we had to learn the music by ear anyways.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Which isn't too bad, if you can hear your part. Otherwise, it's a nightmare...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I never had a problem learning by ear, that's a cinch
