Oh that's gorgeous Ven! He looks good. :D She's quite lovely too-I like what you did with the clothes and hair. She's definitely both Snapey and pretty here. And Snape is very much the proud father. Well done.

thank you dear! but I am not too happy with his clothing. I need to do as my drawing teacher commands and make studies of black cloth!

Fantastic use of color, too!!

The painting feels like it's a mirror or some kind of portal that you could just walk through. And your shading on his coat is amazing.

And she is fantastic. You can really tell it's his girl. ^_^

Very nice work, hon!

thank you SO MUCH! I wanted the portrait to feel like that. and I am delighted you like Edie. She feels right to me.

but I HATE how his coat came out. I need to do some fabric and drapery studies and tutorials. It's the weakest part of my work. No wonder I like to make everybody naked!

Well done!

thank you!!

That's so lovely! Thank you for linking the stories, I'll have to check them out.

Absolutely wonderful. I love the color and sense of movement.
