Oh, very real. I'm thinking of him in the bottom of that trunk, even though logically he wouldn't have The Eye. But still. It would be something to see him through when a prisoner in his own trunk...
Love the light/shadow situation here, the contrast really brings this to life! I was actually thinking exactly the same thing as sabathea, that he is inside of his trunk (but can't be, because of teh Eye). :D I adore his comical face and the titties. *giggles*
Mystery Artist! It's been a loooong day here, so for the moment I'm afraid I'm going to have to just drop you a random ::squee flail thank you!!!:: and fall into bed. I'll return tomorrow for more flailing along with a proper comment! ♥
Eek, so sorry it's taken me a couple of days to get back and comment properly! I've been too busy running KK to participate in it properly. ;)
First of all, I don't know if ragdoll told you who this was for or what the story was, so if she didn't... The short version is that, when one of my prompts was dropped, ragdoll very sneakily went off and asked you to do this piece for me. I didn't even get to see it until the night before I needed to post it. LOL So, yeah, this was a complete surprise to me.
Right, NOW! Wow, where to start...? I think the first thing that really grabs me about this is the dark, grittiness about it. The crosshatching gives it a very rough, dirty quality, and the stark contrast of the bright light entering the dark room through the open door just adds to that effect. It's just so neat sytlistically.
The precise instant that's captured is interesting. I can read it two different ways... The simple explanation is that it's that split second when he's realized that he's been caught in the act but hasn't had time to drop his cock react yet. But I also get the idea that he's realized he's been caught but doesn't particularly intend to stop. They get what they deserve for walking in, and he's getting off on their unintended voyeurism. His expression is half "oh, fuck!" and half "ohhhh, yeah..."
Thank you for doing this! (And thank you, ragdoll, for being all sneaky an' stuff!)
Thanks hon, I'm so glad you like it! Yes, I knew it was for you, and I suppose that Ragdoll just KNEW, with this type of prompt that I'd never be able to refuse. :D
I had originally intended to have it be clear that it was Snape watching him, but as the drawing progressed, it ended up being more vague.
This is gorgeous - I love that Moody's body is realistic and scarred and paunchy - I love the cross-hatching you've done for shadowing and the stones of the wall and the way the light is falling as though someone's just opened a door on him - brilliant.
oh bugger, I thought I had commented on this before, but apparently not, Mystery Artist. Absolutely love it -- the starkness of the black and white work so well and the cross hatching and shading on it are amazing. It's fantastic that Moody isn't pretty here -- he's saggy and baggy and scarred, just as he ought to be. Fantastic work. :)
