	it never moved! sobs Why not? this is lovely and moody, very painterly. Severus has a faraway look in his eye... maybe he doesnt want to come back. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I love the contrast of red in the portrait and the grey. It brings out this sense of history and finality that is nostalgic and heart-wrenching. Great job. I love that we can only see Harry's back. (Reply to this)

	sniff Canon is so cruel! Your art, however, is lovely, though depressing. Nice entry! (Reply to this)

	It's amazing to me that Harry seems sad and yet we can't even really see his face. It's very moving in spite of the fact that Snape isn't. ;) (Reply to this)

Huh. Poor Harry - he looks like he totally needs a hug. And Severus's expression seems both a bit sad and a bit yearning - and yes, he does seem to be watching the viewer rather than looking at Harry, which is just a tad creepy. But in a kinda nice way, if that makes any sense. xD

It makes me crave shameless fluff. (Though, admittedly, I never turn that down. xD) And may I say that I admire the pencil technique? And the shading - lovely!

Thanks for the gift,

thebranytook!

	I love the portrait, Snape looks so dignified and yet sad. Harry's slumped shoulders say it all... (Reply to this)

	Very nicely done - I love the expression on Snape's face. There's closure to it, even if Harry doesn't feel the same. (Reply to this)

	Oh, it's so sad. Harry seems to be waiting in vain for something that's not going to happen. I still believe the portrait doesn't move because Snape's not dead, and I'm sticking to it. (Reply to this)

	hambares 2008-01-03 01:34 pm UTC (link)
	It never moves? I hope that means that its subject is still out there, waiting ... somewhere. I want to hold Harry close. He looks so dejected. (Reply to this)

	Of course the portrait doesn't move because Snape isn't dead ;) Poor Harry. He really needs a hug. I love Harry's posture. It's so sad. Excellent work! (Reply to this)

	I love the dark colors in this...and Snape's expression. Well done! :) (Reply to this)

	lower lip tremble But whyyyy..? Seriously, though, fantastic picture. ^_^* (Reply to this)

	Wonderful picture. Great job. Especially with Harry, he looks indeed very dejected and sad. And it feels like Snape is looking directly at the viewer' ... Eerie... Creepy... But oh so lovely :) (Reply to this)

	Poor Harry. He looks so forlorn with his hands in his pockets and no color to him. I just want to hug him close and tell him Snape's still alive. (Reply to this)
