Warnings: Warnings: Rating for blood, full-female nudity; character death implied. DH Spoilers.
Themes/kinks chosen: Please Your Mod; Love!
Artist's notes: :D :D Spoiler: *This is supposed to represent the exact moment that Severus Snape dies; has he created his own peace, or has Lily really finally come back to him?"*

Important: because I have no other server to upload NWS art to at the moment, you must be logged into livejournal to view these images. Sry; I'll try to have something better worked out by next month.



+ If you're interested, you can see some of the process I went through with my art beta, [info]kittehkat, here. Everything I do starts off looking so terrible! Snape looked like Edward Scissorhands! Needless to say, his face changed a lot.
+ Based on this sketch that I did a few weeks back.
+ To get me in the right mood, this piece was created while listening to this song, and only this song, on repeat: over and over again. For days. Weeks, even. Ave Maria Salus Hominum. It's a really beautiful, sort of ethereal version. I have no idea who it is. At yousendit.com; it'll expire in seven days; comment if you need me to re-upload.
+ Total time to complete: Fourteen days, off and on.

Here are close ups:






Comments are ♥. Concrit welcome.

nice I love the contrast Lily provides with her hair, freckles and skin tone.

:D !! Gracias!

So beautiful, yet sad at the same time. Gorgeous colors! :)

Thank you!

WOw, that's gorgeous. I love the close-ups, too! Lily is just exquisite, and so vibrant next to poor Snape. Her tiny freckles, her beautiful face... just lovely. The different tones in Snape's skin work really well, too, and I really like the blood soaked into the upper part of his clothing. Concrit - maybe there'd be more blood on his skin around his clothes than there is... mostly all I can think is how beautiful this image is.
4th September 2007 22:53
Yes, I agree re: more blood. There definitely should be more of it--possibly smeared everywhere, but I'm terrible at it. It took me two hours to get that little trickle on his neck. lol. I'm really glad you dig it. This was definitely a labour of love.

Very beautiful! I love all the little details - Lilly's freckles, Snape's tear, etc. Lilly's face if absolutely lovely! Her hair is also amazingly well done, and I love the colors. Snape's clothes are also extremely awesome. ;)

Lovely work!
4th September 2007 22:54
Aww thanks!
4th September 2007 00:18
So gorgeous. I love Lily's hair and the contrast of her skin with Severus's and their expressions--just lovely. The closeups are wonderful.
4th September 2007 22:54
Thankee thankee! I think I like the closeups better than the finished art, lol.
4th September 2007 00:52
Um, I'm logged in on LJ but can't see anything...?? Aww, I wanna see! :'(
4th September 2007 20:48
Oh no! Try this link instead. That one should definitely work. I have no idea why some people are able to see it and some aren't. Do you have cookies enables?
4th September 2007 22:25
Yup, I do. Without them, I wouldn't be able to log in to half of the accounts I have XD
Could it be that people on your f-list are the only ones that can see it??
4th September 2007 22:29
I don't think so. None of the people who've commented so far are on my flist, but regardless, I've made all my pictures public for the time being. It'll probably stay this way for a week before I change it back to Registered Users. Just refresh this page. Let me know if you still can't see it.
4th September 2007 22:39
*bwee* Thank you!! I can see them now!! It's fabulous!! :D :D
4th September 2007 22:50
Yai! Glad you like it!
4th September 2007 01:08
This is heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time. Lily's hair is beautiful and the closeups really help show off the freckles.
4th September 2007 22:55
Thank you! And your icon is adorable!
4th September 2007 12:33
Very haunting!
4th September 2007 22:55
Thank you--you should listen to that song I uploaded to go with it. It definitely helped me to get the right atmosphere.
4th September 2007 22:57
Also--gratuitous icon love. I'm currently struggling over how to make the perfect baby owl icon to go with my standard baby raven one. I sort of want them to match. But owls--owls are my favourite.

This is so beautiful I was completely stunned for a bit. It's Lily that gets to me the most with her beauty and almost ethereal quality. The contrast to Snape is great as well; she is so alive, moving and naked, and he is so stiff and dead and clothed. All of which seem to enhance each other.
I also like the way the total impression comes off, I can't really find words to describe it, but it's something with the style and the way it is a picture of someone/something instead of being them.

(And if you feel like it, pay the comments forward.)
4th September 2007 23:02
Thank you thank you thank you. I'm so glad that you caught the 'feeling' I was going for. I really did want Lily to stand out--as part of the scene, but also, in a way, a part from it. I really wanted her to 'feel' surreal--and let me tell you, listening to atmospheric music really helps. You should really listen to the song I uploaded for this! The first time I heard it, it made me want to create.

ANyway--I'm glad you like it, and I'll definitely be participating in pay it foward.

Gorgeous. The colors are lovely, and it's such a wonderful moment. You did a great job with Lily's expression - she looks so caring.
4th September 2007 22:57
Thank you. =D
4th September 2007 17:44
That's gorgeous. Great colour in the hair and blood. Just heartbreaking. :-)
4th September 2007 22:58
Thank you!!
4th September 2007 17:54
Wow, that is gorgeous! And a very emotional piece. Thanks for the close-ups of their faces so we can see all the fantastic detail. :-) Poor Snape, being so pale. It's his lips, draining of life, that get to me most. And Lily is really striking, I love the contrast between their skin tones. And her hair!

Wonderful work!
4th September 2007 22:58
Thank you! I think I like the closeups better than the finished piece, actually. ;D And also--LOVE LOVE LOVE your icon.
4th September 2007 20:42
I'm logged into LJ, but I still can't see it! *weeps*
4th September 2007 20:46
Try looking here.
5th September 2007 05:46
Wow, that's really gorgeous and sad and stunning. *weeps for them*
5th September 2007 17:23
Aww don't be sad. It was v. much worth it for Snape.

Thank you!
5th September 2007 16:14
Oh, how beautiful and haunting. I love the details that you made, it's so beautiful and gorgeous. I especially love the little freckles all over Lily's body, and the bruises on Snape's neck. It tells a whole story that JKR never wrote, and something that seems hard to put together in words. You managed to do it perfectly with your art. Thank you for sharing it! I love it!
5th September 2007 17:22
Thank you!
2nd October 2007 22:28
Excellent work.
5th October 2007 00:21
Thank you!
14th December 2007 04:19
So beautiful and poignant. I love how Lily is so bright against the dinginess of the setting.
14th December 2007 04:39
Thank you. This is one of my more defining pieces, and I'm a bit proud of how it turned out. :)
