Description This came about when I was listening to mp3s and sketching out another drawing and Bob Dylan came on and I was like…holy heck! This song is about Remus and Tonks! So I started furiously scribbling, imagining in my head a whole story line when Remus is living among the werewolves and one night Tonks runs into him, cold, and hungry and defeated and she wants so much to help him and they spend the night together even though he knows he can’t stay and its sad and romantic and beautiful. *Gasps for breath after run-on sentence*



Lay, Lady, Lay
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Whatever colors you have in your mind
I'll show them to you and you'll see them shine

Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile
Until the break of day, let me see you make him smile
His clothes are dirty but his hands are clean
And you're the best thing that he's ever seen

Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile
Why wait any longer for the world to begin
You can have your cake and eat it too
Why wait any longer for the one you love
When he's standing in front of you
(Damn Right, Tonks! Go and get him!)
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead
I long to see you in the morning light
I long to reach for you in the night
Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead

I keep coming back to this one. It is by far my favorite Remudora fanart, because of the way you capture not only their looks, but also their hearts and their relationship. This encapsulates the beauty and heartbreak of their inexorable, but tender magnetism that Remus tries so desperately to resist. And the warm tone, and just all the yes! Thank you for sharing your talent! ^_^

This is absolutely beautiful and heartbreaking! Very nice idea. And I just love the way how they are together, you captured the moment! Your Remus is perfect! His scars, his clothes, and his everything... And I also like that Tonks doesn't have a pink hair here. Your picture is so dark but also has some kind of warmth... And the title is perfect!

I love this piece. It looks just like I picture Remus/Tonks, and the colors and details are really good, especially Remus' face.

Rowlig is great for creating n___n

Amazing picture, my fav Harry Potter characters ever! Would you be willing to let me use this piece in a Tonks/Remus tribute I'm working on? You would of obviously be credited for your amazing work.

Great video. I love that song and there was beautiful artwork I'm excited to be included with. The 9th drawing you have that's a pencil drawing of Remus and Tonks is mine too if you want to change it from unknown. Otherwise, fantastic work. Thanks for sharing!

This is a good image. Tonks looks good even with her brown hair and Lupin reminds me of Bill Pullman for some reason (even though I don't recall him ever getting scruffy).

Thanks for your comment. I hadn't thought of Bill Pullman but I like the connection. I just loved him in Newsies, lol.

That is really weird but actually not really surprising. I mean,the lyrics are so clearly refering to R/T. Lol. Bob Dylan must have been able to see into the future. The future of...children's literature. Or something. Thanks for commenting
