Fanart - Feelings have no shape

[reira]

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. :)

Feelings have no shape

This is extremely beautiful. It catches their different personalities so perfectly.

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!

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.
