Snapedom

The lovely camillo1978 has done a wonderful, smutty drawing to accompany my drabble series 'Beauty and the Bed'. The following link takes you to the less smutty version on DA, but it is still VERY NSFW.

The Bed

You will find a link there to the more explicit version.

PLEASE HEED THE WARNINGS!

here's an assortment including plenty of self-pimping:

Snarry Games art "How I Made It" post where in I demo the baroque oil painting technique. WS art, 'warning' for bare chested Sev

Snarry Games reccs for those who DON'T ship Severus and Harry. Lots of wonderful gen and mentor work this year!

drabbles from the slashretreat_dc  on the theme of "Old Fangirl's Retirement Home" that is run by Remus & Severus here:
(by the way, if you might like to join us next year, join the comm. it is no longer invitation only. and, we do tend to be Snape-centric!)

6th year Severus & Minerva art (NWS) drawn for hp_beholder this year. For a little change, Severus ought to be the innocent, perhaps learning the sensuous arts from an older professor.

"Spare the Rod" (NWS) Snape/Harry art from hp_summersmut , my gift from tripperfunster 

I haven't kept up with the snarry_games this week - I've done nothing this week. *sigh* However, here a few recs I gathered last weekend.

To prove that I really have been in a depressing mood glum hibernation this week, there's only a few recs. But there's art as well as fic today, yay!

You may see it drawn HERE.

Three snarry fic recs, a couple of snarry art recs and a couple of snupin recs...

It's been a quiet week (or maybe it just seems that way becasue I've been a little unwell.) Here are some snarry_games recs, and a rec for a now-completed snupin multi-chaptered illustrated story that is guaranteed to make you smile - the story is wonderful, and the art is great (points to pretty icon).

This week's rec ties in with missjesselle's post below. Like missjesselle, I was pretty disappointed with Deathly Hallows. The artist I am reccing today had a completely different experience: she loved the last book in the Potter series to bits. Snape's part in it inspired her to draw a series of illustrations. It took people like her to remind me that my disillusionment with the overall story shouldn't blind me to the opportunities and dramatic elements JKR served us. Canon is a fanficcer and fanartist's paradise :-).

kyla79 is a young professional comics artist who publishes under the name of Mara. Her first comic book, Clues, was published last year by the small and equally young French publisher Akileos, which has a special place in my heart because they publish the French translations of such favourites as Eric Shanower's Age of Bronze and Ted Naifeh's Courtney Crumrin - but I digress. Those among you who read French might find it worthwhile to check out Clues, because of its delectable, snarky, hooknosed Inspector Hawkins. Just saying.

kyla79 is one of those artists whose style looks deceptively simple but isn't. She is a good storyteller with a keen eye for composition and atmosphere, and I love what she does with colour. I have to confess that I am not a great fan of digital art, because it often looks cold and lacks texture. kyla79 achieves what I think is a nicely balanced effect by combining pencils, watercolour and Photoshop, using the watercolours to give texture to her digital colouring.

That, and she does a great Snape.

I am reccing the whole bunch of DH pictures at once, because together they tell a story.

Enjoy!

( The Prince's Tale in pictures )

This is the second of my deviantART recs, and - let's say it's an unusual one, especially for me :-).

Dr Mabuse is a professional artist and designer whose Potter fanart consists entirely of ... SS/HG pictures. Those who know my fannish tastes will be aware of the fact that I am not at all into SS/HG. BUT Dr Mabuse's pictures are so wonderful that I find myself adding SS/HG images to my favourites.

I don't think Dr Mabuse is at all known at the LJ end of fandom, and his art is not to be missed, especially for those of you (and I know you are many) who do like his ship of choice.

I'm not entirely sure what rating to give the pictures. Though there is little by way of exposed flesh and no sexual action at all, I do find the images rather charged (- that may just be me). Hermione is clearly very young and entirely innocent-looking, but for me that does throw quite a bit of suspicion on Snape's moral fibre. What you get are cute and really charming pictures that refer to Kate Greenaway and other old-school illustrators - but as a viewer you know that the situation isn't quite as innocent as it looks at first. Dr Mabuse, for his part, insists that his Hermione is a youthful-looking adult and that "only good things happen here". But, dear doctor, that's not necessarily what it looks like... Mind you, the contrast between Severus and Hermione is really what makes these pictures so special and strong.

So I guess my rating would be, "G, but..." :-)

Media: pen and ink with watercolour.

Have you tried the cake?

A Dinner Date

On the Loveseat

ETA:
Some of the reactions to these pictures are rather more fierce than I expected them to be. If I had known they would cause such a stir, I would not have linked to them at all. It was never my intention to shock or offend. Now that I appear to have done so, I would like to offer up for reflection a quote from a book more than 100 years old.

( About art and the viewer )

An overload of snarry fic and art recs from this year's snarry_games. A corresponding dearth of snupin and other pairings.

Severus was the big hit of the Magic Convention Cruise!
All the magicians were amazed and impressed with his levitation trick!

Watch it being drawn HERE!

I'm having computer problems with the heat, but Severus was counting on me to give him a proper holiday! How could I let him down? I'm giving him my holiday.

You may watch it being drawn HERE!

You can watch it being painted brush-by-brush HERE

Sev has used his potions to make his special polishing materials for his precious beloved wand. And there he is, cradling itin his Slytherin-decorated room. In love.

Notes: I needed to feel better, and Snart always makes me feel better, so this happened. Comments are love, and will make me want to make more pretties for you!!!

Title: Hearts

Pairing: Teenage!Snape, Teenage!Lily
Rating: G
Warnings: none
Summary: Snape and Lily playing cards
Medium: Photoshop, graphic tablet

Notes: Snape just lost and - oh surprise - is not a graceful loser, but that is okay since Lily is not a good winner either.

Some time ago a friend taught me how to play the card game 'hearts'. And being the sucker for bad puns that I am, there was, of course, no other logical conclusion to that then to have Snape and Lily play it.

over at wizard love I found this delightful Snape/Tonks fic:

also, for hp_unfaithful I have new Snapey art, too.

Creampuffs!

Nums! Severus has a secret! And they were expecting him!
Watch it being drawn HERE!

Title: "Thanks, Dad!"

Artist: venturous 
Media: pastel
Rating: G
Characters: Severus Snape & daughter Edie
Warning(s): none
Disclaimer:any recognizable characters don't belong to me; I am just borrowing them for entertainment.

Artist's Notes: For BohemianSpirit, who wrote a series of wonderful Snape/OFC fics that soothed my heart post DH. In Light Through the Cracks, Severus has a secret life, unbeknownst to all the wizarding world, until his eldest gets her letter for Hogwarts. In Knowing Jack, Harry describes her nose as "unfortunate." I have tried to make her both Snapey and pretty. Actually, the real challenge was to draw Severus as pleased and a proud father!

This is only about 6 months late. **hangs head** BohemianSpirit, I hope you enjoy it as much as I loved your stories, and making this drawing.
