Absolutely stunning! I'm in awe of your technique. With just a tilt of Harry's head and Draco's upward glance your are able to say so much. Draco's trembling, isn't he? I wonder if they are about to kiss. The scene by the lake is gorgeous too.
Thank you :-) So glad that the images alone did the job. Draco could be trembling, and I also hope that they'd kiss. (Who doesn't? *g*) I haven't done any landscape for a long time, so I'm glad that the lake scene looked okay and that you liked it as well.
I'd know this style anywhere...I'm such a fangirl of it. The whole thing is so lush and gorgeous. The look in Draco's eyes! Man. How an artist can capture an expression of fearful hope is beyond me...
Their expressions are so intense, full of emotion and life. I like how they're playing in shirt-and-tie. :P The touching hands, with fingers intertwined--beautiful! And the reflection in the water--stunning. Caught my eye and I had to stop scrolling and just STARE. I love Draco's come-hither pose, with just a hint of uncertainty on his face. And Harry's ambivalence... And Draco's hope in his eyes...
I like how there's no colour, and then there's this explosion of colour of the lake, and then how it's seeped into them just lightly.
And I LOVE your sky in #3; it really does well to mirror their own warring personalities. Now, whether or not you meant it like that, it's how I've perceived it. And I just love angry skies like that. :) And... is that a teardrop from Harry's face in #9? Or a drop of sweat?
Thank you very much for commenting. It's always a pleasure to have you review my art, with or without concrit. :-)
I love having the boys wearing school uniform, even though I always find myself having trouble drawing ties and collars. The hands actually gave me some trouble, but I'm glad that I decided to draw them nonetheless. The landscapes turned out to be the ones I'm the least satisfied with, which means I should stop procrastinating and start to work on them. I actually quite like the Harry and Draco's expressions, and I'm glad that you liked them as well.
I'm relieved that the b&w -> color transition wasn't too weird. And the angry sky in #3 -> clear sky in #7 too. Glad that you didn't find them odd.
Re your question, the blue dot on Harry's face was supposed to be a drop of sweat. :-)
I can't tell you how much I love #9. The tie, his hair, the sliver of green: it's such a beautiful snapshot. And #6! I love how you positioned their brooms to look like wings.
Glad to hear that you liked #9. It's also my favorite. As for #6, I didn't intentionally positioned them to look like wings but somehow I did it, and I'm glad that you liked the way they looked. Thank you!
Right, I always say I can't tell who's created what for fests, but this is an exception. *g*
Absolutely completely gorgeous. I love the colors in #7; they're so perfectly autumnal. And the way their expressions change over the course of the match and after... wow. The profiles in #s 1, 2, and 9 are so clean and beautiful and them. *sighs happily*
Yeah, everybody knows this is mine. I hope I won't get rejected by other anon exchanges because of my style being too recognizable.
Thank you very much! #7 was done in November, and I might have done the pic differently if it weren't Autumn. Am very glad that you liked the way I did their expressions before and after the match. #9 is my absolute favorite, too. :-)
Ha, I'm with the others! Your style is so distinctive; this art couldn't be anyone else's other than yours. You've perfectly captured their silhouettes in the sky with a justfew brush strokes - watercolor is so unforgiving. And the splash of bright blue and orange in the landscape midway through makes a stunning transition from the black and white of the earlier paintings.
Finally, I love Harry's thoughtful expression in #9, the clarity of Draco's eyes in the last painting, and the detail of his parted lips. OK, I'll stop squee-ing now!
*sigh* Yeah everybody knew this is mine. I'll probably be banned from other anon exchanges because of my style being too recognizable. Took away half of the fun guessing who did what. Yes? :-)
Thank you very much! I haven't done any landscape for a long long time, and I wasn't very confident about those landscape drawings, so I'm relieved when you said you liked them.
#9 is my favorite, I'm glad that you liked it as well. I remembered changing Draco's left eye again and again to achieve that look. Glad that the time I spent on it was worthwhile. :-) Thank you!
oh my god, stormwynd is so lucky, these are GORGEOUS! the light use of colors and the differences in lights and darks.... god, they're amazing! breathtaking, really.
This is jaw-droppingly beautiful. You have such an amazing gift. I really adore your style: the amount of detail, the subtlety, the realism, the way you create such a unique and gorgeous palette with color and light, the way you communicate your characters' emotions with just a look or a touch--just gorgeous.
