Artist's Notes: I am truly pleased to work on an artwork for one of my favorite Snarry fanfic authors. I hope you enjoy this piece! Working on this took me out of my comfort zone, but now having explored the possibilities of visualizing the Snape/Harry relationship, I definitely see myself doing more Snarry illustrations in the future. Thanks to the Mods for tirelessly organizing this exchange, and I am excited to see/read everyone else's gifts. Thanks especially to K for putting up with me when I was obsessing over this.

Oh, this is gorgeous! I love the play of light on their bodies, and the way they seem to grow out of the wood. Harry's feathery hair is marvellous and Snape is just right: ugly, skinny, sexy, and completely Harry's.

Thank you so much, mystery artist! This is one of the nicest gifts I've ever been given. It's going straight into my favourites folder - I'll be coming back to it and gloating over it again and again!

This is gorgeous! I love their faces, the delicate natural-looking colours, how you've suggested their relationship by their postures and the subtle lighting (I notice that the brightest highlight is around Snape's cock....) Lovely.

Oh that's just gorgeous. I absolutely adore the style. And the position, both their faces, Harry's hand on Severus's hip, of course Severus's lovely cock. Wow. Excellent work.

very nice! I like your choice to only show a limited part of them and show them in the wood. It's quite interesting.

heee welcome, no-longer-a-Snarry-virgin!

I love Harry's expression, Snapes nose, their hands.
and the use of woodgrain is a lovely touch... adds so much warmth and colour.

Gorgeous! I love their expressions and how Harry's hand is creeping up on his cock.

The coloring is gorgeous, and I love the sense of them melting into - or is it coming out of? - the woodwork. Lovely!

This whole drawing is beautifully done, but their faces! The skin texture, their expressions, the highlight on Harry's cheekbone, the shadow of his glasses. I'm kind of gobsmacked by the way you've caught their personalities, Harry open and impulsive, with his feathery, flyaway hair and flared nostril. And Snape's face is extraordinary. His eye is so beautiful, heavy lidded and weary, and his downward-slanting mouth looks so uncertain. I love the line of his nose - perfect - and his slightly pointy chin. This is a fantastic version of Snape. I also love the way Harry rests his chin on Snape's shoulder and more or less surrounds him, reaching for him and bracing himself at the same time. The hands are exquisite, as is that sharply lit hipbone of Snape's.

In sum, this is a seductive, intimate portrait, utterly gorgeous - did I mention how much I love Snape's throat? - colored and contoured to create a mood that hovers between the fragile and the erotic. I can easily imagine them kissing (their lips are so delicate) and - well, I'm stumbling all over myself to try to express how ravishing this is. Marvelous work. I hope you try your hand at this pairing again, because your vision of them is utterly compelling.

I like this so much! The faces are alight with life, and the intimacy is almost secondary, but very welcome.
Thank you for sharing, mystery artist!

This is Yummy! Your ability to draw the persons so well-formed and great expressions is a gift - though, I am sure, also honed by much effort - it looks like love, caring, friends as well as good sex!
