Good lord, how am I to respond to feedback as amazing as this? I feel incredibly unworthy and humbled. Not to mention overjoyed every single time I read it (and I have read it, like. A jillion times already, fweeheeheeee!)
I think one of the best sorts of feedback fanartists can get is the type that look at the art through different, fresh eyes. It's a strange pleasure to read through someone's FB and then look at your own art and think "Wow, yeah. I really did accomplish that." And then squee to yourself, because you have created something successful and effective.
Yes, oh yes - I was so invested in creating an excerpt between the last chapter or Book 7 and the Epilogue - something that would address Harry's issues and guilt over Snape. I simply couldn't imagine that all the ties to Snape and his mum, all of Harry's wrongful hatred and belief would compound eventually. Snape's death was unfair and unresolved and, like. I wanted to see if I could show how Harry handled that.
And if this fb was the only one I'd gotten for the art? Man, I would be one damned happy camper. Thank you so so much! *MWAH*
