omg... this has got to be one of the best comments I've gotten. *blinks*
*looks again*
ok so I didn't imagine it. you got the meaning behind the gift perfectly, yay! I thought about a ring but really that has got to be one of the most ordanary and boring things to give someone, especially if they are just that special.
And about the art, I did two pencil drawings as base (the hands exchanging the compass and the after sex gift giving). I did some color changing and cleaning up in ps. I made a new layer for the colors above the hands/compass drawing, shaded everything in lightly. Than moved the coloring layer behind the compass layer and made the layer 50% transparant. After that I made the background which is just 3 overlaying difference cloud layers.
I played with the transparancy on all of them to get the affect that I like and add text. I can show you the individual layer after the exchange is done if you want cause I know I suck at written explianations. *hangs head*
Harry's back... well for males the back is curved less than on a woman. I had no reference so I'm not really sure how it should really go in that position. *shrug* I tried.
Oh and if you want to write fic to accompany it you are most welcome to do so (I would be most pleased). I do however wish to read it, pretty please (loves fanfic and is a huge addict). ^_^
