Description A full view on the outfit I created for him for `morning has broken´.

I know Snape seems not like the person who cares about looks and everything. But he certainly enjoys to make his appearance as a mysterious and powerful wizard, regarding his speeches, the cape-swishing and his attitude.

I don´t think Snape would start to change his wardrobe greatly if he survived and remained Headmaster of Hogwarts, as in the AU where most of my current projects take place. 
But he gets one or two new robes which are a bit more extravagant than his usual teaching robes. Not too much because he´s not a Lucius Malfoy who needs to show off, but elegant and formidable, as a true Slytherin-Headmaster should be.

The outfit is a bit inspired by Angel-soma, who once made a really great design of a Headmaster robe for Snape.

The robe is basically a longer version of the one Alan Rickman wears in the movies, but in a dark green instead of blue, wide sleeves and a V-neck. 
The cloak doesn´t have any sleeves, but a shoulder cape with a high collar which extends in the cloaks silky green top layer, decorated with silver edges and a snake pattern. 
It still got that split at the hem which gives the whole outfit the look of a snake´s tongue.
I loved that idea so much, that´s such great thinking of the costume department...

Basically, the whole thing is screaming "Slytherin", but I think one can be a good and fair Headmaster and still show his pride for the own, former house. 
I mean, Dumbledore dressed all colorful and clearly was a bit too much into Gryffindor. 

In my idea of the story, or the AU where my stories take place, Snape had a long time of recovery including wheelchairs, endless discussions with worried colleagues and an annoying brat who happens to get the DADA-job - Thanks to McGonnagal, presumably. 
But he gets respected, and liked, and even left in peace by Potter if he wishes so. 
After all, he has to live with some more scars and the effects of Nagini´s poison to his nerve system. He regained his ability to walk and move almost completely, but I imagine him having good and bad days with more or less pain, depending also on his mood swings.

    

I am so tired... I can´t remember when I last worked on a comic, just by myself and without thoughts on upcoming exams on my mind.  

But hey, two more weeks to go and I start my finals. With Biology. I suck at Biology.  
I read somewhere that Alan Rickman f*cked up his final on natural science, so he wasn´t that fond of it either. But I shouldn´t make him my role model with everything.

Great robe design! I like to think this could work for a new Slytherin Professor at Hogwarts. Someone's going to need to teach Potions after Slughorn retires and I have an OC named Gillian Avery who does that. Perhaps he could wear the robes.

This is so inspirational, my Soulmate!!!! I love the way you're drawing your Snape!
So, his some of his robes are actually green?
He looks brave and handsome (not to make you jealous, it's the way you draw him that make me want to say the truth). Keep it up, Soulmate!!!!

The original frock he wears in the movies is dark blue, but due to film it looks black. You’re not making me jealous, sweetie. I know your preferences too well...

Awesome! I wish he wore a new outfit, but then again I guess it would take away his characteristics.

True. i really freak out everytime i see him with that travelling cloak and the scarf during the quidditch matches. He's wearing something different! XD

Severus - did you really took your time to design me a new robe?

Severus contacted one of his former students who is a professional costume designer (Slytherins love theatre; the West End of London has its own little Slytherin colony) and had her work up a number of designs for him to choose from. This is the "operatic version" intended for formal occasions. (Sev had to veto the original headwear that went with it.) There are also some simpler designs for everyday wear, including a "brewing version" with shorter cuffs, fewer layers, and no long draperies.

One of the things I like best about Juana's drawings is that I can always spin stories from them--even if they're not the stories Juana originally had in mind.

I don´t mind if someone gets inspired to invent own stories by my art. Especially when the stories are as much to my liking as this one.

*Snape runs after you* 
"Insolent LITTLE FOOL! GIVE IT BACK AT ONCE!" 

And we are witnessing a wild chasing through the great hall, spells firing, Headmaster cursing. Quite exciting.

Snape indulging in a wild chase? Nonsense.

janach In reply to JuanaSunfall [2018-03-29 08:53:27 +0000 UTC]

Very impressive-looking. A cape and robe so long they drag on the floor does seem a bit impractical (and poncy) for Severus. I can see it for formal occasions (and possibly his official portrait), but not everyday wear around the school. He must have charms on it so it billows properly and doesn't get caught on anything or trip him up. And dirt-repelling charms, of course. Not to mention prank-repelling charms, preferably of the Dark variety.

JuanaSunfall In reply to janach [2018-03-29 12:10:50 +0000 UTC]

 The idea of that outfit as one for formal occasions came to me too.  I imagined him taking off the cape during the day so he only wears the robe, but I don’t really like the v-neck on him. I just didn’t want to give the robe a high collar when the shoulder-cape had one too.
Severus probably doesn’t like too many layers of tight cloth around his neck...

The frock he wore in the movies really was a great choice. It’s hard to create something different which looks as good and is not too impractical.

You see, your opinion means a lot to me since you are a very critical person who seems to understand that man we both admire. I don’t get fangirlish squealing from you but critics and snarks,  which teaches me not to be a whiny kid who takes everything personally.
Take the criticism and snark back.
