Description Snape is momentarily nonplussed at his student's question; even first - years know what a Potions bottle is. A split second later, it dawns on him: He has inadvertently managed to introduce Darkness to a room full of innocents. After that first day of teaching, his arm was always carefully concealed.

NOTE - awetastical friend genius ~sayurikemiko gave me this idea; thanks Sayu

Satisfaction guaranteed-- after Deadly Hallows, I had no idea where to turn next-- Susanna Clarke was just the ticket!

I've never read any Tolkien-- ^snowmask loves Tolkien; I'm wanting to re-read the Dune trilogy, though...

Wow, I can imagine that kind of a situation! I love the melancholy look to Snape's face.

Sounds fun ... but I'll have to see. I am busy with the wedding, but I do want to get art from at least something here. Sometime. Hopefully. I have a pencil sketch I did of a woman that involves roses that I still haven't gotten around to finishing in pen.

Awesome idea.

I actually thought this was a representation of Jesus before I saw it was for this group. What is the halo/magic aura supposed to be?

Also, fantastic nose, one of the best Snape Shnozes I've seen. I also love how the kids all have their own/different expression. Great detail.

joeyv7 In reply to Verdandi36 [2010-03-09 11:48:27 +0000 UTC]

Thanks - it looks like a religious subject in the thumb, I thought that too, but it wasn't overtly intentional. I do put a lot of halo effects or other stuff to draw the viewers eye back to the central figure in a lot of my paintings I think it's just a compositional device most of the time. I'm glad you liked this, and I really appreciate the Schnozz comment! It's fun to make it outrageous and yet have it still work with the face. Thanks again

Aha, so that might be why he wears what you'd think are impratically long sleeves for someone who's up to their elbows in potions all day...

That's not well..., that's much better!!!!!

I love the faces of the persons. You are showing us the emotions of all of them.

Severus, full of dislike. And the kids, full of horror...

And this background... *sigh*

Beautiful in all of these colours!!!

Dearest, Magic

Really? Thanks Bern. I had to put teeth in the mouth, because without them he looked like he had a trout pout (collagen injected) going on in the upper lip XD

Yes really. So much is made about his teeth in the books, but I don't see them drawn much. Maybe I never have.

Oh, the main secret revealed!.. Great work, Cathy!
Young Severus is very touching here - in first seconds looking at the pic I didn't realease what was happenening, just liked him socializing with kids like this, without atmosphere of fear around him...

joeyv7 In reply to esperanza111 [2010-03-08 11:32:44 +0000 UTC]

Thanks - that's what fascinated me about the challenge in the first place. One does not START teaching burned out and angry, and at some point he had to have a connection with the children he taught on a day to day basis. This would be a sobering reminder to stay detached and remote from them . . . .

esperanza111 In reply to joeyv7 [2010-03-10 18:57:29 +0000 UTC]

Oh, I've read a couple of fics of this period in his life - there he specially tries to work out this severe manner of his (apart he'd never been a nice person in his behaviour) for he feels too young for a professor and is afraid his students won't respect him enough and obey him... rather plausibly, I believe
