	What a pity I can't vote! Because this would be a triple nine. The expression of their eyes, the colours, Snape's sharp-nailed finger across Harry's lips ... it has already been praised, so consider this more of the same. I love it. (Reply to this)

	Oh, wonderful use of prompts and color here. I especially love Snape's crown and Harry's flower garland. (Reply to this)

	Oh, the pomegranate sets the scene more than anything else-I knew exactly who I was seeing when I saw it. I love Severus's crown, the garland in Harry's hair, their skin tone and dark rimmed eyes. Truly beautiful. Great job. (Reply to this)

	Love the hair and the colors and the different skin tones. And a pomegranate? ALWAYS good. (Reply to this)

	Such vivid colours - simply gorgeous. (Reply to this)

	What a great interpretation of the prompts! This just made me shiver--wicked Snape, not-so-innocent Harry...the pomegranate juice! Fabulous! (Reply to this)

	Nice! I like the colors you used. (Reply to this)

	Stunning. I love this piece so much. My favorite part is their eyes - so smoky and expressive. The pomegranate juice running down Snape's finger and smeared around Harry's mouth is a brilliant touch. The garland in Harry's hair and the crown on Severus's head are a nice touch as well. A wonderful piece of art! Go Team Cauldron! (Reply to this)

	This is a very lovely picture. (Reply to this)

	WOW, I love everything about this one and can't stop looking at every detail. Ans it fits so well in the prompts! (Reply to this)

	ariadneelda 2009-08-05 10:28 pm UTC (link)
	I adore your style and this is SO PRETTY. Snape's gaze, and his cuff and his crown (every single detail of his outfit, actually), and those NAILS. And the pomegranate juice that looks like blood (it's so sexy!). And Harry's beautiful face and the colours and textures and the border. I love it! Fantastic. :D (Reply to this)

	quita 2009-08-05 10:38 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, it's so beautiful! The Holy Gods of Snarry must have been guidind your hands through this. There colours are truly stunning, so vivid yet so true. And their eyes. And Harry's shoulders... I think I could go on forever. Not to mention, I love mythology. Thank you, and bravo! (Reply to this)

	auntmuriel 2009-08-05 10:56 pm UTC (link)
	This is just gorgeous, almost too pretty for the subject matter. Very lush and exotic. Looks like Harry will be spending most the of the year in the underworld (I doubt he'll mind). (Reply to this)

	irenahani 2009-08-06 12:01 am UTC (link)
	I'm entranced by all the details. The palette and the composition are just superb. (Reply to this)

	spidermoth 2009-08-06 12:29 am UTC (link)
	Wow! This is stunning. Very elegant and intense. I love that Harry's mouth is closed so that we really don't know for sure whether he's eaten of the fruit. Obviously Snape is intent on seducing him--his focus on Harry is obsessive/fantastic. The details are amazing and I love the feminizing of both characters. Very beautiful, indeed! (Reply to this)

Oh, oh! This is breathtaking art--I'm not sure what amazes me more, your choice to depict the Persephone myth or the execution of it! I mean, it's sheer genius--casting Severus as Hades and Harry as the maid. Good lord! Severus will coerce Harry to stay with him, for a little while--but Harry won't be at his side in perpetuity. It's bittersweet and perfect and it makes Snarry this transcendant ageless fable! Severus' crown, the curl of his hair, the luxuriance of his lashes--so very striking. And Harry's smoky eyes and smeared mouth, and his hopeful stare at the fruit--I feel torn when I look at this.

Wow am I glad I'm on your team!! ♥ Beautiful, beautiful.

	oh wow! I love the rich colors, the contrast between the dark sections and bright sections. Everything just pulls me in and keeps making me go back. The boarder, Severus's finger nails, their skin tone (especially the little lines on Sev's face with the texture), Harry's gaze, just everything. Wow. (Reply to this)

	hpstrangelove 2009-08-06 01:18 am UTC (link)
	This is so beautiful - I remember the first time I heard about the legend as a child, how it explained the seasons. I'll never think of the legend the same again after seeing this. (Reply to this)

	Lovely! Great use of the prompts, and I really like the color palette here. : ) (Reply to this)

AWESOME!!
I love the Persephone story, and here you can just see how Harry is the bridge between the upper and lower worlds, with the flowers in his hair. And I love how Snape looks like the evil queen in Snow White!

There is a wonderful song about the irresistable desire between Persephone and her underworld lover...sung by the lovely Grace Griffith. posted with permission:

	I can't stop staring!! This is lovely! The red on Harry's lips. Snape's hand.... oh wow! (Reply to this)

	leela_cat 2009-08-06 04:29 am UTC (link)
	This is just utterly amazing. The details are almost hypnotic. Each time I come back to look at it, I see something I missed the previous times. But I'm always drawn to the border, to Snape's black nails, Harry's hair and eyes. I could go on, but just ... wow. I love this. (Reply to this)
