Description † Happiness is just a click away †

Made for LJ Fringeart's Imitation of a Famous Artwork Challenge. .

One week's worth of research on artist's works, said Potion Master's pictures, and alchemy stuff. As well as the flora adorning the circle behind. It's monkshood, and I'm sure anyone who's read HP recognizes it's significance. I also did some research on the flower's meanings and it is right here.

Closeups at my LJ: [link]
Drawn & Inked manually + PS + Wacom + 80 hrs of procrastination. Muahaha.

Time to give credit where it's due.
The amazing resources!

Severus Snape belongs to the awe-inspiring J.K.Rowling, but the artwork is mine. No Touchie!

Oh my, it's gorgeous!
So, this is totally random, but I was browsing so_severus's LJ and noticed your comment saying you were a fanartist.
When can I ever resist fanart? The answer is obviously rarely.
Of course, I eventually found my way here.
Anyways, I just wanted to say how much I love this piece! It’s always nice to see a fellow SS fan at work Especially such a talented one. I love the details in this picture. Particularly the monkshood. What a creative idea; and really interesting too.

Oh and !
Because this deserves it.

Joellehart [2006-03-31 21:01:22 +0000 UTC]

Exellent Mucha-style! His hair is curly for an image of Snape, but understated for an image by Mucha, so it works. Love, love the monkshood circle. His accessories -- the bottles, the cloth in his hand -- amazing!
His fingers are just a little too thin.

dawninhell In reply to Joellehart [2006-04-04 07:09:53 +0000 UTC]

I got a little carried away with the curls, his hair's supposed to be greasy and limp, I know. *shakes head* As for his fingers, hehe, if you've seen my other works I've never been good at hands, ah well. ;D I suppose I'll have to 'thin' the rest of Snape next time!

Thank you for the C & C, dearie!

smileyvampireartist [2006-01-13 19:57:07 +0000 UTC]

well, I do declare, the detail, right down to the cloth inside the box of bottles is quite amazing. I'm envious.

I think he's cute - and why should the potions master not look good-looking? plenty of people ship him with Hermionie, of all people. (that concept scares me a little - he taught her, for chrissake. he called her an insufferable know it all! why she'd even like him would be madness in my eyes, unless he used his sneaky potions on her morning pumpkin juice. )

all the little things, the writing on the armrest whatsadoodle, the silver hand in the jar - that rocks.

dawninhell In reply to smileyvampireartist [2006-01-14 06:08:35 +0000 UTC]

Awww... That's such a sweet compliment.
You're the first I know who refers to him as cute. ;D He looked a tat epicene here, but who's complaining?? I remembered seeing the office in the CoS movie and potions storeroom in GoF one, and I absolutely adored it. The jars, the colours and stuff in them, reminds me of what an alchemist's office would be like, too.

Ah, shipping. I have read some good SS/HG fics, serious. I suppose most would expound on their intellect and the occasional alienation from peers (of course Snape being the worst off one). But then, I read everything with him in it. SS x Everyone OTP! People just love non-canon.

okay, long time, journal with no answers and stuff, bah, long story is no time to answer comments as marvelous than yours, and a low point of my drawing ability.

so yes, it's gorgeous, but ... what is epicene? and I can say he's cute, Rickman is too old to be "fit."

and as for non - canon... I remember seeing all those Rip Van Winkle X Alucard things you did - it was like having a birthday in september or something (mine is december, what about you?) my favourite vampires together, and all red and black and evil. my favourite colours.
