Description After an uncomfortable night on a park bench, Snape is awakened by his exuberant friend Vera.
Vera is a teenager like Snape, yet has not progressed beyond the emotional age of a much younger child. She has a sweet and excitable nature, at times dangerously naive. She can also demonstrate an unusual perceptiveness because of her innocence, a quality more worldly people around her have forgotten about, and left behind as they grow up.

I should add that the song Vera is singing is a real song from the character's time period, with a childlike and wistful spirit, much like Vera herself. The lyrics tell a bittersweer tale, which is relevant to this story.
try to get past the drawing if you give it a listen ~~ [link]

Beautiful scene, Cathy, I love how the close-up on Snape's eye works in the page, and also the triangular around it given by the shape of the panel, and the hair. Is it a reference to the eye of providence? (alright, I think it's better to find out keeping reading the story ).

Thanks my friend - I hadn't even thought of that triangular panel with the eye! Great observation

WOW! The great eye on the end...

"I am so glad, that you are back."

Will the story go on now with the older Snape? It might to be in my opinion a (Day-)Dream of his past...

Waiting for new, the style loving Magic

All beautifully drawn. The closeup of the eye is very beautiful, realistic, it contrasts with the style of the whole story. I love Vera (that is my nickname btw- some people call me Vera, some Vero). The character is very lovely. I also love the tint of colours you guys made, it`s like when she appeared it all became colourful, full of life and happines. Now one thing that intriged me is the eye... it this a memory? I am sure this is a mystery of the story, but it`s quite lovely!!!

joeyv7 In reply to Veronika-Art [2011-01-22 14:24:59 +0000 UTC]

Thanks, V You know you're the second person to wonder that - the memory angle - because of the realistic eye. That's really interesting to me in its possibilities, and the stylistic choice Sayu made when she drew the eye. She has such and excellent grasp of how things should look in a format like this, it's been such a rewarding learning experience working with her. I can't really say you're right or wrong here, but I'm really liking how these images are engaging the viewer and making them care enough to wonder.

Personally I love this character, and how the comic page seems brighter, and happier when compared to the darker pages before with his father. Nice touch
