TEAM ROMANCE ENTRY - Orionnoire!
Title: Silent Offer
Artist: orionnoire
Team: Romance
Genre(s): Postwar & AU
Rating/Warnings/Kinks: G
Artist's Notes: "Harry took off the Invisibility Cloak and looked down upon the man he hated, whose widening black eyes found Harry as he tried to speak. Harry bent over him; and rapidly tore pieces of his t-shirt to staunch the bloody wound."(Bloomsbury 528) After the battle, an exhausted Harry goes back to the Shack. Snape is still asleep. Surely, a little nap can’t hurt anything…
Media used: Sharpie, watercolors, pencil
Archiving/Usage permission, including the Tribute Video (only after the polls have closed and medals have been awarded): Sure for the video. For anything else, please ask first.

	Harry's profile is beautifully understated in this. And there's no mistaking the decor for any other location but the Shack... ;-) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	orionnoire 2007-11-02 05:49 pm UTC (link)
	Thank you! When I drew the initial sketch, Harry just placed himself so naturally for once. I'm glad you liked it, too! I had fun destroying the decor. It's my excuse for everything being uneven. g (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Lovely coloring! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Thanks! Coloring is my favorite part. :D (Reply to this) (Parent)

	The hand-holding is so sweet! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	orionnoire 2007-11-02 05:52 pm UTC (link)
	Thank you, though I won't tell the boys you said that. They would be so embarrassed to know someone had seen them that way. ;) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Beautiful! I love the colours :) Great job! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	orionnoire 2007-11-02 05:53 pm UTC (link)
	Thank you! I'm so glad the colors worked he way I wanted, and so many people like them as well. :D (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Just looking at this makes smile. I love the hand holding and the sense of peace this picture has. And how Snape looks at Harry but Harry looks at the floor. The soft colouring is really beautiful. :-) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	orionnoire 2007-11-02 05:57 pm UTC (link)
	Thanks so much! I tried with the colors to make it look peaceful and intimate. I'm really glad it worked! The boys are so stubborn. Snape wouldn't look t Harry if Harry looked back, and vice versa. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	glockgal 2007-10-25 03:29 pm UTC (link)
	Wow, I love this illustrationy look! It's like a piece of art from the Impressionist era that someone found sketched/watercoloured on a scrap of paper. It's so deliciously worked out through such subtle use of colour and line. Love it! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	orionnoire 2007-11-02 05:59 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, thanks so much for the lovely comment! 8D I've been experimenting a lot with watercolors, but I'm not always sure the style I want is really coming through. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	jillypooh 2007-10-25 04:08 pm UTC (link)
	This is so lovely and peaceful. I'm noticing that under media it says sharpie. Dude I have never achieved anything remotely artistic with a sharpie in hand! The fact that you did so totally rocks! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	orionnoire 2007-11-02 06:04 pm UTC (link)
	Thank you! Sharpies are such a pain! It only works the way I want one time out of ten. I'm happy to know it worked this time! :D (Reply to this) (Parent)

	ex_rumpelsti605 2007-10-25 08:18 pm UTC (link)
	I am absolute in wonder of this! It is beautiful. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	orionnoire 2007-11-02 06:05 pm UTC (link)
	Heee! Thank you! :D (Reply to this) (Parent)

	amanuensis1 2007-10-26 01:30 am UTC (link)
	Oh. Harry's pose is just beautiful! I keep looking at the curve of the small of his back. ^_^ (Reply to this) (Thread)

	orionnoire 2007-11-02 06:06 pm UTC (link)
	Thanks, hun! You know it's the touch of Snape's fingers making him curve his back sensually. ;) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	lampblack 2007-10-26 02:08 am UTC (link)
	Quiet and gentle style... lovely! Hey, you got an edition of the book with a better quality text content than I did! LOL! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	orionnoire 2007-11-02 06:08 pm UTC (link)
	Thanks, hun! Why yes I do! You can borrow my copy, if you want. The ending is much better. ;) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	nahimana 2007-10-26 04:53 am UTC (link)
	LOVE LOVE LOVE. Love :-) The lines and the colours are so well done. I adore it. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	orionnoire 2007-11-02 06:12 pm UTC (link)
	Heeee! Thanks hun! smooches I'm so glad you like it. I still think Snape's face was destroyed when I added sharpie, but overall I'm very happy with the result! /end babbling SRLY, must learn how to take compliments. Erm, thanks. ♥ (Reply to this) (Parent)

	dacro 2007-10-26 05:08 am UTC (link)
	love the look of the shack, and their hands...oh, their hands! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	orionnoire 2007-11-02 06:13 pm UTC (link)
	Thanks so much! The hands gave me such headaches, but the whole idea was based on the hands. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	calico_sky 2007-10-26 05:55 am UTC (link)
	Lovely - so soft and sweet. ;) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	orionnoire 2007-11-02 06:14 pm UTC (link)
	Thank you! :) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	nakedbee 2007-10-26 07:31 am UTC (link)
	The colors in this are so mellowly gorgeous and their poses so gentle and sweet and still. Lovely. :) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	orionnoire 2007-11-02 06:15 pm UTC (link)
	Thanks so much, hun! I tried many positions, but kept coming back to this one. They sort of just fell in place this way. :) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	seres_mimosa 2007-10-26 11:11 am UTC (link)
	Love the colouring, the old-worldly, ramshackled feel of the ..er shack :) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	orionnoire 2007-11-02 06:17 pm UTC (link)
	LOL! Thank you! I love to paint in those washed-out tones. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	estioe 2007-10-26 07:49 pm UTC (link)
	Oooh, sneaky! I caught that edited quote! Or is it? Can it be possible you got the REAL DH book? ;) lol Anyway, this artwork is lovely. The hand holding speaks volumes, and Harry's pose is wonderful. I love the curve of his back. :) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	orionnoire 2007-11-02 06:21 pm UTC (link)
	nods I received the adult slashy version of the book by mistake; the one JKR keeps under her bed. ;) Thank you! Harry was so much fun to draw and paint because he's much more physically expressive here. Snape holds on to his cool so tightly even when no one is looking. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	ivylady 2007-10-26 11:30 pm UTC (link)
	Very Victorian. I love the artwork and the hand-holding is understated enough that it fits with their characters. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	orionnoire 2007-11-02 06:25 pm UTC (link)
	Thank you! I'm glad to know you think it works. In the little story in my head, Snape had been asleep when Harry grabbed his hand. When Snape woke, they pretended nothing was going on. It's one of the only way I can see them touching each other at this point. :) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	__hibiscus 2007-10-28 01:53 am UTC (link)
	Love Harry's pose and the way their hands are touching. <33 (Reply to this) (Thread)

	orionnoire 2007-11-02 06:30 pm UTC (link)
	Thanks! Harry's pose was fun to think up. I'm so glad the hands work for so many people, it's one of my favorite part. :) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	winnett 2007-10-29 05:52 pm UTC (link)
	I really liked the soft art style. Wonderful job. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	orionnoire 2007-11-02 06:30 pm UTC (link)
	Thank you! I love painting in washed-out tones. :D (Reply to this) (Parent)

	athenakt 2007-10-31 02:10 pm UTC (link)
	I love the water colors- you did an amazing job keeping them under control! Harry's jaw line kills me completely, and the flowing lines of his shirt, the blankets, bits of the background, etc are beautiful. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	orionnoire 2007-11-02 08:06 pm UTC (link)
	Thanks! Watercolors are my favorite medium, but they do tend to get out of control! :) Yes, Harry and hi jawline were lots of fun to paint. ;) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	klynie1 2007-11-01 10:32 pm UTC (link)
	I like the dreaminess of this piece - it feels turn of the century (20th, not 21st) to me. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	orionnoire 2007-11-02 08:09 pm UTC (link)
	Thanks! Yes, I really like early 1900's style art and illustrations. I'm glad the dreaminess came through. :) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	ships_harry 2007-11-13 04:02 am UTC (link)
	Oh, this is lovely. I love the fragility of the colours, the lines, and how the Shack is dilapidated and detailed :). (Reply to this)
