Thank you. I keep meaning to do some more darker pieces like this one, but haven't had the time yet.

Cool. Not originals, perchance?

I've downloaded loads. *g*

Awesome! I love her expression. And her robes! And the blood! I just love the whole dang thing. Great concept...seeing her worst memory rise (and spill) from the pensieve.

Thank you so much, Qui, for those generous comments. I'm so pleased you like it. When I saw the original, this idea came to me fully formed.

Fabulous! What a wonderful idea to have transformed the silver platter into a Pensieve!

*worships your brilliantly dark mind*

Ooooh! Grotesque but fabulous! And I love that beautiful deep red of the blood standing out from the black and white. Great work!

Yipee! I can do grotesque! Thank you, Red.

Heee! Ok is that Snape's head on aplatter or in a pensieve? HG certainly looks horrified. TY!

pythiadelphi In reply to droxy [2010-01-29 19:42:54 +0000 UTC]

Haha! It's meant to be a Penseive, see the runes? But I wanted it to be a bit more graphic, startling and 'real', hence his head is rising above the surface and the blood is dripping out. Artistic license and all. You're welcome.

It's beautiful and disturbing. Did Nagini go a little too far?

Thank you, Clair. Yes, I'm afraid she went all the way.

You know, I always imagined that scene in the Shrieking Shack to be quite graphic, with Severus spurting blood. She did bite his neck, and the carotids would pump out one's entire blood volume in a matter of minutes.

Ohhh, it's wonderfully angsty <3333 The blood is just so awesome. I. can't. even!

Dang, lost of angst there. This would be my worst memory too, if I was her. Still loving that Beardsley style!

pythiadelphi In reply to northangel27 [2010-01-29 19:51:32 +0000 UTC]

Yes, I've been feeling pretty angsty all week and it shows.

Thank you. I am loving the style too, so will have to do a few more.

lulabelle72 [2010-01-29 13:04:02 +0000 UTC]

Ahhhhh!

She does look like a "witch," in more traditional terms, doesn't she?

I'm supposed to be writing dark/angst today; I think this may help.

Your work is as clean and as graphic as ever.

pythiadelphi In reply to lulabelle72 [2010-01-29 19:54:38 +0000 UTC]

Is that a good 'ahhhh'?

Yes, definitely, what with the hair and the robes. I think I rather like drawing Hermione this way.

New Lula fic? I am all agog with anticipation!

Thanks, love. <3
