'Artist's' Notes: Dear eeyore9990, Happy Fool's Day!
I wanted very much to draw something nice for you, but it seems my imagination is capable of quite a bit more than my poor hands can deliver. I had a lot of ideas but in the end I only managed this. So I figured that I'll go for quantity, if quality is beyond me.
It was a lot of angst and twice the fun to try to draw something recognizable. I used up my favourite rubber almost completely, as I used it a hell more than the pencil. The amount of paper that littered the floor after every attempt to draw something was rather impressive. But in the end, I am quite pleased with the final result (especially the last pic), even if I do say so myself. I hope you like it too.
Dear mods, I am grateful for your understanding and support when I was fighting a terrible, and what sometimes looked as a doomed, war with Photoshop. I'm happy that thanks to you, I snatched a small victory. You have my gratitude!
Bonuses:
Artist's Notes part 2: I realize I cheated out of some elements, like there are no legs/feet and, wherever possible, no arms/hands, as they turned out so grotesque that I'd rant and cry a river then start anew. I wish I had managed to draw something kinkier, God knows my mind spawned a lot of such pictures, but they seemed to get lost along the way from my mind to my hands.
I also cheated on the content of one of the pics. I know the Shack is supposed to be all dusty and dark, but it looked horrible that way, so I made it clean and bright. I prefer to think that even as a ghost Snape would still be his usual self and thus require adequate haunting arrangements that would include tidiness (ok, maybe brightness wouldn't be necessary, but I needed it), so probably an elf comes to the Shack to clean it at least once a week. Or, if that seems too much for you to accept, just call it an 'artistic' touch.
I was so happy to be drawing for you, eeyore9990. I hope I made you smile/laugh as a Fool's Day is supposed to.
