Artist's Comments

IT'S DONE. UGH.

Almost a year later this thing is finished. No it didn't take me the full year to finish it! I was on a roll until my computer crashed, then when I got it working again (months later) I wasn't in the mood to work on it. Then...something hit me...

Realistically, as an "illustration" in the professional artist's sense of the word, this pic is not so good! XD It tells no story, has no setting, has no real purpose. It started out as a 'cool pose doodle' and voila...decided to color it and I realized it needed a background...and yeah. No REAL thought process went into this in the beginning.

Teenage Snape doesn't get a lot of bad-ass attention in fanart...and after witnessing the sheer AWESOMENESS that is Sectumsempra in the 6th book, it's high time he stopped moping about Lily and started gettin' mean. So this is Hogwarts-aged-Snape.

This got 'critique discouraged' because it's been in the WIP bin for far too long and because of that I doubt I'll go back and fix anything. And I already know what the mistakes are...soooo...just enjoy it! XP

Photoshop 7. Lines were done with ink on Bristol. Part of this was colored with a Graphire2 and part of it was colored with a Intuos3...that's quite the jump in technology...

FIRST COMMENT. Fuck yeah!

Because I'm predicting a ton of comments on this one. Maybe moreso than the "If" picture with Snape and Lily, because...WOW, Snape is totally bad-ass! I like that little flare you've got goin' on with the wand, it's subtly foreboding.

Keep this shit up, and I may transfer my affections from Lupin. O.o

HAHA second place for you! LOSER. YOU GET SILVER MEDAL! YOU LOSE AT THE INTERNET!

Ahem anyway....yeah I noticed there aren't a lot of "Snape is bad-ass" pics on the net...at least, this site...and we all KNOW he's bad-ass after reading book 6. So this gives him some oomf. Go Snape GO.

And I am glad to see my nefarious plot at swaying you to the Slytherin side of lust is working....

AND THX FOR TEH FAVZOR. When are you going to upload something new, eh?!!!

He knows it, too. You can tell! Snape is incredibly naive if he thinks he's got us all believing the girls don't want him!!!!

I love the depth, coloring, and reflective light. And I do have to admit for a croney nasty pale old dude, he doesn't look too bad.
