	It's so lovely~! I really love the kiss; I can't tear my eyes from that scene. Also the hand touching and going through the mirror is beautifully drawn. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	This is one powerful work of art. I keep going back to the picture of Harry looking in the mirror, at the longing on his face, and my heart breaks a little more each time. This is a truly heart-wrenching work, but it is absolutely beautiful. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Beautiful! You have expressed so much with the drawings, and the details are gorgeous. The hand moving through the mirror is fantastic. I love the "story" of these pictures, heartwrenching but sweet. Very nicely done! (Reply to this) (Thread)

I saw this right when it went up, and have been thinking about it ever since. Dumbledore's warning turned out to be an apt one, I think. Advice that Harry decided to ignore. I really like how you leave it open to interpretation. Perhaps dead in this world, but who knows about the world he's stepped into.

The art itself and text and so well done, the detail lovely. You chose the perfect scenes to tell your story. Great job, Jin!

	I just love this, its absolutely awesome, I love the brown/grey colouring and the kiss, wow, it just kinds of draws your eyes to it and then you don't want to look away. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	It's beautiful and haunting. I love the way you set it up, and the scenes are so poignant. The open ending (whether Harry just dies or dies and becomes part of the mirror world) just adds to the story you are telling through your art. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Powerful and lovely. My favourite details: that kiss, Snape's possessiveness (indicating Harry's wish to be possessed), the hands, the hands(!), and the shadows and overall quality of light you gave it. It adds to the images overall, giving it a sacred feeling, almost like being in church. Brava! (Reply to this) (Thread)

This is something I'll look at over and over. Not just for the story with its marvelous tone of quiet tension, its poignancy and its stunning resolution, but for your style.

I simply *love* your pencil work! It's like the best illustrations of the cherished old books one never forgets. The drawings tell so much, in such detail!

I can't stop looking at them. Love the hands!!! And the way Severus's arm is around Harry, leaning into him a bit with that Snapeish possessiveness, and yet *so* gentle at the same time. That's our Snape: he attracts by contradictions. I also adore how beautifully you drew his shirt! (I so want Snape's white shirt). And of course, the hand going through the mirror - wowza. But every panel of this is so beautifully done, so rich with emotion, I have to stop before I get all tl;dr about every one.

	It's stunning! Beautiful but also kind of bittersweet. In other words, it's perfect! The words: "When regrets in the mirror seem more real than the promise of a new day..." are so powerful! I love this breathtaking work of art and can't get enough of it. I could look at this for hours... Great job! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Oh that's just gorgeous. I love your older Harry, Severus's profile, their hands together, the one hand slipping 'through' as it were. Beautifully done. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	The whole piece is amazing, but the two hands drawings are brilliant. The scar on his hand shows your level of detail but also adds another message to the story - "I must not" but he does anyway because he can't not be with Snape. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Beautiful, I love the kiss panel, and the last panel the most, personally. The light and shadows in all of them are great. (Reply to this) (Thread)

Black and white, and all the shades in between, is a very difficult. Your drawing is incredible, I love your style, the way you've put the shades. The strokes are so rounds, so smooths. And the texture is beautiful. When I look at it, It feels like I'm going to feel the canvas under my fingerprints if I touch the screen. Your words are heart wrenching. So little words, so much said...
Beautiful work...

	Wow.... What kind of power you have, to make major character death a good thing. This just rocked me! Each panel vibrates with emotion and mood. Wonderful details in the art bolster your words--harking back to canon, and drawing them together. Wow... (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I love the crosshatching and how you make such lovely use of sepia tones. Not a lot of artists do that. Adult Harry is gorgeous. Love his outfit. This is just so sad and beautiful. Made me a little sniffly at the end. A wonderful and very evocative piece, Jin ♥ (Reply to this) (Thread)
