Happy Daft Day, quill_lumos!
Recipient: quill_lumos
Title: Two Illustrations for The Secret of Seeing Rightly: 1. Reading "The Little Prince" and 2. All the Fun
Artist: venturous
Rating: 1. PG, 2. NC-17
Media: watercolour
Warning(s): *1. none, 2. explicit blow job*
Summary: Recovering slowly from Nagini's bite, Snape has forced Harry into being his caretaker. This doesn't begin as a happy situation, but over time the two find first peace, then passion, in their relationship.
A/N: Quill, I wanted to illustrate one of your wonderful fics, and this one really gave me images to work with. I hope you enjoy them both!

Do Not Hotlink Images.

	Aww, that first one is really lovely and relaxing. The vibrant colors are so nice and the lighting is wonderful. That second one is really hot! I love how Harry's completely nude and Snape's almost fully dressed. Wonderful! :) (Reply to this)

	I'm sure I was going to say something about the first pic, but the second one chased all thoughts out of my head! Guh! Okay, that's very nice, very, very nice (and the first one is lovely too.) (Reply to this)

	I agree with red_day_dawing. I had something intelligent to say about the first one (which is lovely, btw, sweet and beautifully colored), but the second one! THUD IZ DED FROM THE HOTNESS (Reply to this)

	Fantastic, fantastic job, Ven! Totally agree with everyone the second picture is hotness. I do keep going back to the first, though, because it totally charmed me. Yay! (Reply to this)

OMG, Ven, what are you doing to me? These are... *is struggling to be coherent*...they are so beautiful!

First of all, I love watercolour when it's done so well, the colours zing and yet do not overwhelm the pictures, there is an intimacy in both paintings, then not just one wonderful painting but two? Am totally blown away by all the work that went in to these

The first is gorgeous, so tender. I love Severus' head thrown back on the pillow, the way his dark hair fans out against the pale fabric. And Harry, messy hair, too tight trousers and the cuff, OMG, the cuff! I love the way that he is so engrossed in the book, he looks totally absorbed. I love the small details, the low lamp, the covers spilling onto the floor, the tea on the wee side table and the purple sofa. Purple sofas FTW!

The second painting...what can I say? GUH!! Mainly and omgomgomgomfg, am just incoherent about that one! The way Severus can't quite manage to stand on his own, his hand gripping the table, lost in the moment and Harry, oh Harry so intent on what he is doing and so fucking gorgeous on his knees and naked and OMG, his arse! can't stop staring at his arse like the dirty perv that I am. It is so beautiful and so hot and *melts all over keyboard*

Thank you so, so much babe, I love them both. *hugs*

Goes off to rec this everywhere.

*hugs again*

	The first one is so cute and adorable and the 2nd one just took my breath away at the sensualness of it. Both beautifully drawn/painted as always, I love the little details you add, they just make the whole thing better. (Reply to this)

	Wow, these are both fabulous; watercolour's one of my favourite media and you've used it really well. And the second one is really hot - I love Harry's pose. Great work! (Reply to this)

	majmunka 2010-01-27 11:04 am UTC (link)
	You know, the second one is poor awesome hotness but Sev's chest hair in the first really made me swoon. Gorgeous. (Reply to this)

	The first is just beautiful! The second is perfect in the way Harry is distracting SEverus from his beloved potions! (Reply to this)

Oh these are marvelous, Ven!! I loved this fic and you've done a great job selecting scenes from it. So much love for Harry at Severus's side, reading to him-adorably barefooted. And the second-dear lord, LOVE Harry's nekkid form, absolutely excellent. What he's getting up to is awfully nice too. :P There is just something so delicious about the dressed/nekkid contrast. GUH! Great job, my dear.

	I dont know what possessed me to pick up the watercolours. I havent used them in so long, but the muse, she is a demanding mistress! I was really kind of amazed at how well it worked. and wc... well, the colour is better than digital media, in this subtle indefinable way. thanks for cheering me on! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I loved both images. The first one is sweet. Severus is so relaxed and Harry is just eager to make him feel good. The second one is hot. The colours are amazing. Really, really delightful! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Is it odd that I like the color so much in the first one? I really like how you have Severus splayed across the sofa as well. And the second is just so hot and I love Harry's body. fans self (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Oh Ven, these are wonderful! I just love the colors of the first panel (Harry's pants and the sofa are particularly nice), but the second panel just blows me away. Well done, dearest. You should do more work in watercolors. It looks amazing. (Reply to this)

	Gorgeous, gorgeous work! (Reply to this)

	asnowyowl 2010-01-29 11:12 am UTC (link)
	These are both absolutely lovely! In the first one, the colors are so vivid and beautiful and I adore the way Harry is leaning onto Severus. The second one is just... GUH!.... Harry's body is gorgeous and I love Snape's hand on Harry's shoulder and the expression on his face. (Reply to this)

Hee, looks like Severus is having the time of his life! I love his content expression in both pictures and the way his head and arm are thrown back against the pillow in the first one and the way he’s holding on to Harry’s shoulder and the table in the second. Wonderful, expressive body language. I’ve not (yet) read that fic, but I get the impression that Harry’s company agrees with Severus. And Harry does seem like a willing & enthusiastic caretaker. Also, the warm lamplight looks beautiful, the sofa is gorgeous, and I like their clothes, especially Severus’ shirt and trousers.
