Description
Revisiting some old artwork (in lieu of doing some new class assignments....)Lucius and Snape, old friends, fellow Death Eaters, both devoted to no one's cause but their own.
I like them very much. When I drew this, I was thinking about their hijinks together in Voldemort's ranks, before Snape switched sides.I used Jason Isaacs' face, but it sadly doesn't belong to me... nor do the characters - thanks to JK Rowling. I drew Snape's face ages ago, before I had a clear mental picture of him. So he looks sort of like (dare I say?) Tom Cruise (NOOOOOO!) Oops.
Sorry for the spam. Enjoy?

OH DAMN I love Severus in this! I love it when artists such as yourself add a bit of themselves to the characters. I love the portrayal of Severus in this. Lucius has always kinda freaked me out...yanno

Thank you! I like drawing manly men... or at least men you can distinguish from women on sight.

I've noticed that in your pics - the manly men. It's very pleasant to look at. Usually people tend to draw them large and muscular, if they want to make them look strong and manly. You draw them thin and still very strong and masculine, and I just admire that. My very pleasure for the eyes...

Yeah, I agree that, at least later in life, Snape eschewed such things. But I think perhaps there was a time in his life when he tried to own his title of Prince and struggled to rise out poverty and obscurity. Being close friends with Lucius, and not yet fit to his own identity, he might have worn such things. But that's not actually why I drew it that way, lol. I just wanted something to offset Lucius' striking, gorgeous white hair. 
I think, maybe, because I've lived so long with three brothers, none of whom are macho or buff, but all of whom are strong and intelligent, I may have developed a better appreciation for the inner qualities of men than I would have otherwise... I can only hope to continue to reflect that in my work!

Ah sure, offsetting Lucius is one big thing to do
Three brothers... Lucky you. I had none. Wish I had one *sighes*

Yeah, brothers are awesome. I feel sorry for those who never had any. But there are brothers in spirit, if not in blood. They're good too. Maybe you have one of those?

Unfortunately, boys tend to forget the brother part, you know. They are, sort of : "interested in being your lover" - or "not interested at all". I guess the brothers are brothers only for sisters, and I didn't have a strong sister part in me, apparently. Aaarghf, well, we don't have everything in life, do we? (I am trying to explain their luck to my kids right now, but they kind of are arguing over Yu-Gi-oh cards and don't seem to understand the depth of my speech

Lol! Yeah, nor will they for awhile, probably. I didn't appreciate my brothers (or my sister) properly for a long time.

I really enjoy the movement in their hair.

Thank you! It was super fun to draw the hair flying.

Yummy! Snape and Lucius were both such 3 dimensional characters in the HP world.
