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...
