I am so sorry for this late reply!! I've been working madly this month (10 hours a day) and I still haven't replied to your kind comments over at hd_fanart. *sighs* Can you forgive me?
I wanted to thank you for creating such an inspiring drabble! I have to tell you, when I chose it I hadn't the slightest idea of how to translate it into art. There were other two or three prompts I liked, but yours was different: it was a real challenge. When I read about the tunnel of Harry's subconscious I was reminded of Escher and thought of how incredible would have been to try and represent one's mind and soul.
I tried several media, digital, charcoal, before finally choosing ink. And I decided for it right after drawing the hands you like. It was the only thing I was sure about and the first I drew: Draco needed a guide, a woman who could help him through Harry's complicated mind. She didn't need a face, nor a right hand for that matter. She's there just for one purpose. I'm so glad you noticed there is only the left hand, I wasn't sure the movement was perceptible.
Of course you can friend my journal! :D
In these days I prepared the prints, trying to keep the price as low as possible. You find all the information in this edited post. I hope this could somehow make up for the late reply. :)
