Fanart - Feelings have no shape
Nov. 27th, 2008 01:20 am![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
I'm still sad that I missed the
hd_holidays sign-ups, so I drew this fanart for the challenge over at
hp_fringeart. I always wanted to draw Snape/Lily. I tried to use Painter X and I have to say I love it. It's so much easier than Photoshop, there's a mixer for colors and several settings for the brushes. But I still feel more comfortable with natural media.
Title: Feelings have no shape
Characters: Severus Snape, James Potter, Lily Evans (implied James/Lily, unrequited Snape/Lily)
Rating: G
Media: Painter X and Tablet
Notes: Done for the
hp_fringeart November challenge: Unrequited Love
Warnings: Snape is way too handsome. Sorry. Image heavy.

Ah, feel free to friend me if you like my icons of fanart, no need to ask. :)

For me the first and the third are the most evocative
Lily is gorgeous but for me doesn't carry the emotional weight of James and Severs, something about James being all alone in that and his body language is very moving and Severus's whole posture and expression conveys a longing for somethign he cant' have!

Thank you so much!

Date: 2008-11-27 09:18 pm (UTC)You know, I just can't draw in digital. There's no control. I have to make a pencil sketch, then make the lineart with an ink marker (I tried unsuccessfully to draw lineart with Photoshop, but it was nearly impossible to make a straight line) and finally color everything in Painter.
I'd like to try watercolors, I love the way you use them :)

Date: 2008-11-27 11:45 am (UTC)I like how you gave each of them a dominant colour and feature: James the vivid, greenish blue and his usual play with the snitch; Lily the red and her defiant expression and wild hair; and poor Severus the nightly blue and his desperate posture.
I also like the bits of the colours from James' portrait reappear in Severus' frame.
And with each frame, we get a more intimate view of the person on display.
Thank you so much for sharing!

Date: 2008-11-27 09:28 pm (UTC)This was the part I loved most: thinking about James, Lily and Severus, then choose a color that could somehow relate to each one of them. Usually, I don't like to use colors, but it was interesting to try.
Thank you so much for commenting, your comments are always a pleasure to read :)

Thank you so much!

Really lovely!

Thank you so much for the lovely comment (and I have to thank duck_or_rabbit as well)! :)
