The border and use of color is what really makes this picture such a success. Great job.

Beautiful lines. Reminds me of Aubrey Beardsley's work!

I'm so pleased you think so, as that was the intent.

Beautiful! Duniazade mentioned your gift to her on LJ, that's how I found this. The robes, Hermione's especially, the heart, the restrictive use of colours ...
Favourited this one, but that is to be able to find all of your work back.

Thank you very much. Duni is too kind. As are you. Sorry for the tardiness of my reply, btw. Have been absent from this site for a good while.

Well crafted! I love HGSS and Beardsley...the two go so well together. Your roses are perfect and the use of color adds a gorgeous twist.

DAMN! This is gorgeous. That Hermione looks like Dicky.
The cloak- GUH!

LOL! Thanks, Drox. Glad you like it. Does she? I didn't realise. I suppose the features are a tad similar, eh?
Yes, I wants me a cloak like that too.

Nice introduction of colors in this, it works really well. I imagine you'd have to be careful not to over - embellish in Beardsley's style, and you pull it off flawlessly.

Thank you so much. I'm so pleased you think it works. And you have no idea how spot on you are about over-embellishing. I was so tempted to do more, I had to literally pull my hand away from the paper and run off before I ruined the entire thing, lol!

This is lovely. Dare I say your best Hermione yet?

Thank you! You may indeed dare- any concrit is most welcome on all my art. May I ask what it is particularly that you like about her? Her hair, her features, or just the overall figure?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think it's the hair and the balance of her facial features that I like so much. Sort of strong and delicate at the same time.

Cool! Thanks for that input, Red.

That's wonderful. May I dare? If you ever sell art and the price is reasonable, I would like that one.

Thank you so much, Duni! You have no idea how much that means to me that someone would actually want to BUY anything I drew!
I'm rather reluctant to sell fanart of this type because a) the characters aren't my own (although that is often the case with a lot of art-work, I suppose, and they are pictured how I, and not JKR, imagine them) but also because b) I am borrowing heavily from a particular piece drawn by another artist. You have made me think about this issue though, and I may have to reconsider my stance for the future.
However, in case of this particular drawing, since you like it enough to buy, and I promised you a drabble for your b'day which I never delivered, how about we make this your belated birthday gift? I can mail it to you if you PM me your addy on LJ. Just so you know, it's just on ordinary A4 cartridge paper- nothing fancy! (And would you mind if I made and kept a copy just for my art folder?)

Yes, yes, yes, SQUEEEE!
You've made me so happy! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I'm PMing now.

So, so beautiful Darling. I love the way it looks like Snape is raising his cup to Hermione and you have managed to draw such a loving expression on her face.
Will be rec'd Sunday evening on the HGSS Digest [link]

Thanks a million, Ally! *smooches*

I swear, I do not know how you manage to top yourself, again and again. The trim on her robes is phenomenal -- how I wish there were robes made just like that. And she looks like a slightly different Hermione than you usually draw, but maybe I'm wrong. Anyway, her hair is wonderful.

Aww, thanks Lula. You are too kind. This piece was all about the symmetry for me, more so than the characters, hence Hermione's differently designed hair. I felt it went better with the petals and the spiral smoke. A bit Medusa-like though.
