OMG, sorry I'm only commenting now! I had a little RL crisis, and though I saw the picture and loved it at first sight I didn't have the peace to properly thank you.
But I'm doing it now: Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!! You've no idea how much I adore this! I did so hope to get a gift from you (I guess by now you know I love your art, yes?:D), and I was so incredibly happy to see this gem was done for me! *squees*
I don't really know where to start with the list of what I love, so forgive me if this will be a bit random:
The reflections of the trees in the water! OMFG, I love them! And I just hope I'll be as skilled as you some time. *fangirls you*
Lily's face! Her expression, her eyes, her hair! She's just so adorable, I'd fall in love with her as well if I were Severus! <3
Severus' hair, his facial expression, his coat! He looks so like I imagined him when reading the books, a little shabby but oh so insecurely sweet! *smishes him*
The frog! His eyes and posture are hilarious.^^ The leaves and stones, and the textures of their clothes! I won't ever understand how to make stones look so, well, stone-y, or how to make clothes look like they're made with fabric and not latex.^^°
All in all, I just love the picture! You couldn't have made me a happier recipient. Thank you so much!:-*
