One more late Closing Games entry, this one from Cauldron's Miyoung Boz.

We certainly couldn't turn this one away! Thanks to everyone who sent in Closing Games entries for everyone to share!


Title: Severus saves his boy
Artist: miyoung_boz
Team: Cauldron
Rating: R. For a hint of peen.
Warnings: Sad!Harry, rentboy!Harry, could be dub-con.
Notes: I think I've read this scenario a million times. Totally cliche, but I will love Savior!Snape until the day I die. Let it be known that the stranger's right hand is wonky, looks terrible and completely grosses me out.

Title: Lord Vadermort (Outtake from Return of the Snape)
Artist: snakeysnape
Team: Snitch. Balls are our business.
Rating/Warnings/Kinks: PG. Still cracky. And I am still not responsible. That's what my doctor says and he's the best at St. Mungo's, so there! :-P

CLOSING GAMES ENTRY #11 - Drawbles by Team Cauldron's Umbrus!

Title: Closing Games Drawbles
Artist: Umbrus
Rating/Warnings:G to hard R, none.
Notes: I tried my best to find time to draw a drawble for every fic on cauldron (couldn't get to them all but I got every posted fic that didn't have a drawble) and as I don't have as much time as I'd like with RL being unfairly busy some of these are very rushed and definitely not up to par but I think it's the thought that counts. Also, another thank you to my team, my team captions and the mods; you guys are amazing! and made this years games experience better than ever. I really had a lot of fun. Thank you! (Also, the concepts depicted in the drawbles obviously do not belong to me.)

Title: A Tempest Brewing
Artist: lizardspots
Team: Snitch
Genre(s): Mentor/Severitus (*Click for the Severitus Challenge*)
Prompt(s): Stormy Weather, The Long Goodbye
Rating/Warnings/Kinks: PG-13; Highlight if you wish to know: *AU/EWE; 7th Year Hogwarts, incestual kissing/groping!*
Artist's Notes/Disclaimers/Thank you to: My fourth time in the Games, and I was determined to keep up my running record of sequential pieces, despite travelling for 5 weeks, then coming home to a gutted out house and no privacy. In short, this comic has been the bane of my existence for the past few months!! Thank you to the Games mods for their endless patience, thank you to my fellow Snitch mates for their help with the dialogue (particularly joanwilder, naatz, and littleblackbow), and thank you to the plethora of people that I have wibbled at whist working on this piece. ♥ ♥ ♥
Media used: Pencil, embellished in Open Canvas.
Archiving/Usage permission, including the Tribute Video (only after the polls have closed and medals have been awarded): Icons: go wild! Archiving: only on WTP. Other stuff: please ask first. Tribute video: of course! :)







( A Tempest Brewing by Lizardspots )

Title: Soul with Soul
Artist: foxestacado on livejournal
Team: CAULDRON!!
Genre(s): Literary/Historical
Prompt(s): Hold My Hand, Coming Home
Rating/Warnings/Kinks: PG-13. Highlight if you wish to know: *WARNING for almost-naked angels, implied about-to-collide/engage in sensual activity that might be interpreted as blasphemous, and very, very minor implied bondage (explained in notes below).*
Artist's Notes/Disclaimers/Thank you: to TEAM CAULDRON for the wonderful last minute support and art criticism, and the snarry_games mods for giving me this opportunity to participate as an alternate and for working out the pinch hitters at the end so this piece can count for points! Thank you especially to bethbethbeth for finding this passage (see below) of "Paradise Lost," successfully maneuvering me away from painting Snape and Harry meeting Batman in Gotham city.
I can finally say I participated in snarry_games! I rushed this piece after taking the MCAT on September 10th, which meant working 50+ hours over 4 days to get this done. Which...towards the end, was absolutely miserable. But meeting the deadline and finally participating in snarry_games (which almost wasn't possible because the MCAT)? Priceless. You will notice that Harry's legs are covered/wrapped in requisite-neoclassical modesty fabric. That is because at 2 a.m., I spent 2 hours trying to paint his legs, wildly unsuccessful due to exponentially dwindling attention span and energy. But, I rationalize that this mild bondage imagery symbolizes the imminent union of two souls, to be bound together, which is our very human visualization of a far more unrestricted Spirit embrace as described by Milton. This piece has a print size of 28 inches wide by 11 inches tall.
Media used: Photoshop 7
Archiving/Usage permission, including the Tribute Video (only after the polls have closed and medals have been awarded): Yes for the tribute video, no thank you for archiving. However, linking to my DeviantArt after it is posted there (so there is a direct link) will be very, very cool. Usage permission for anything besides snarry_games tribute video: Please do not archive, edit, copy, or reuse any part of this painting anywhere for anything.

Title: Guy Who...?
Artist: accio_kilt
Team: Snitch
Genre(s): Genderbender, Fusion
Prompt(s): Eat Cake
Rating/Warnings/Kinks: PG13, Highlight if you wish to know: * het, nudity*
Artist's Notes/Disclaimers/Thank you to: Characters from my WIP, Hana Rose's Diner, where Harry is female because of a dark spell and now lives hiding in plain sight in a new life, running a family diner in Avalon, Washington. Her gigantic Cinnamon Buns are a local hit and Sev's favorite... and we all know how much he hates to share! Hana loves to watch FoodTV and one of her favorite shows (also mine and calanor's) is Diner's, Drive-ins, & Dives, with Guy Fieri.
The world of Harry Potter and her characters do not belong to me and I make no profit from playing with them. They belong to JKR and Warner Brothers. The only thing that belongs to me is my story behind this art and the idea of Female!Harry or Hana Rose. Thank you to calanor for her support and to my fellow teammates during my meltdowns. Thanks to the Mods for the extension I ended up not needing.
Media used: graphite and ink by hand, finished in PhotoShop.
