	Lovely -- beautiful colors and the composition of the two men's bodies. And the notion of voyeuristic fish made me LOL! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Squee! I've been waiting for yours for weeks, and it's awesome. The underwater 69 is great, and the grindylow is fantastic. This fits the story so well. Now I'm off to read The World As It Is again. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Oh, very nice. I really like the details. And the way they are wrapped around each other. And the way you used the light in that circular motion, it draws you in. (Reply to this) (Thread)

Ignoring everything else about the picture, when I clicked the thumbnail of Snape and Harry I was kind of blown away. The detail is amazing, and *painting* (with oil no less) two naked bodies in a fairly complex position SO DAMN WELL is nothing short of miracle as far as I'm concerned! Beautiful job!

and no small amount of bias since I just finished the wonderful story it's based on :)

	Beautiful! For this you get all my stash of nekkid dark chocolate Snapes (note to self: order at least twice as many for next year's Games). Would say more but I'm too busy drooling over those lovely wet bodies. ;-) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Wow, how gorgeous! You trully have some talent with landscapes. the small details are exquisite. I can't stop looking at every single detail. :D And the way you drew both men floating in the water, so beautiful. :) And you know, it's funny but I'm actually reading the fic this illustration is based on! What a coincidence! :D (Reply to this) (Thread)

I love their poses - you nailed the way bodies float in the water fantastically! Very impressive. Their anatomies, the way their bodies entwine, the tension in their feet from the pleasure...
The colours are also gorgeous and all the little details: the squid with the trunks, the grindylows, the fish trying to eat/clean Snape's foot from parasites.... Not to forget the amount of work to fill such a big canvas. Wow!

I apologize in advance for commenting about this but an obsession with sharks from the age of 4 on means I couldn't get over this, despite desperately trying: sharks in a Scottish inland water?! Uhm no, unless it's Viktor Krum part-transfiguring himself ^_^ The only sharks known to dwell voluntarily in freshwater are bullsharks, a tropical species that would only (literally!) be caught dead in the cold North Sea, let alone in Scottish lochs and lakes ^_~
That said, I still like the sharks! They look a lot like great whites, though the one seen fully in profile in the group has some kind of pattern in a different tone of grey on its back which makes it look like another tropical species: a tiger shark... Was this intentional? Yes, I checked out the details. I clearly think too much about this! I can't even concentrate properly on the Snarry-porn with the sharks in the picture. ^_^
