Awwww. Poor Harry! He seems so dejected. *hugs him*
And the portrait is really eerie. It seems to be watching me. *wibbles*
Well done!

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.

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.

*sniff* Canon is so cruel! Your art, however, is lovely, though depressing. Nice entry!

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. ;)

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, [info]thebranytook!

Woops. I meant, thanks, [info]thebrandytook. You'd think I'd know how to spell but noooo. xP

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

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

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.

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.

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!

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 :)

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.
