Rumours of My Demise

[pennswoods]

have been greatly exaggerated...

This shall be adorning the condolence greeting cards I send out to a special few on Snape's birthday. The medium is also a bit of a departure for me, but I have been moving in this direction for a while. Besides, with all the other fanartists around me experimenting with different media, it's about time I gave it a shot too.

Oh, this is just amazing. Snape looks like a comic strip villan in this. Mmmmm, God, the ramifications make me so happy.

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

Yeah! And that's exactly the mood I was going for. This was supposed to feel a wee bit different from my other art, which because of the colors usually comes across a lot fluffier and cheerful.

[torenheksje.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous! And so true. :c)

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

Indeed!

[hp5freak.livejournal.com]

Very, very nice, luv! Quite Snape-ish! :D

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

Indeed! I think I need to balance the uber-gothic comic book look with something super fluffy. chaeche requested something Trevor-tastic.

*puts on thinking cap*

[hp5freak.livejournal.com]

I like Trevor-tastic too!!!

Maybe something like Trev listening to Snapecast playing Toad Man...totally trev-tastic!

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

LOL!

I've got a bunny with Trevor and an xmas stocking running around in my head. We'll see if I can't get it down on paper.

Gorgeous! The inking works really well! Your composition is fabulous :D

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm happy with the composition too. I think I need to work on the background a bit and wish it weren't quite so dark - I need to figure out how to get those mid-range shades of black.

[sofisticat.livejournal.com]

I love it!

[arcanetrivia]

Whoa, jinx! *points down to own comment*

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

LOL! Well, great minds and all... :D

[arcanetrivia]

I love it!

Address plz! (http://pennswoods.livejournal.com/127776.html)

Got it! Keep your eyes peeled in January for a Snape-day card!

[its-art.livejournal.com]

Wow! This is awesome!

Snape's tiny smirk is absolute win! And the perspective is great! I just love this.

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I love a good smirking Severus myself.

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[megyal]

Its really amazing. I like the textures and Snape's smug, evil smile.

Good work!

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

Thanks for your feedback. I was a bit concerned with the texture - but I just loved giving him that smile.

[dizilla.livejournal.com]

Hehehe, that is awesome! I love his grin and the composition of the whole thing. ^_^

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

Thank you! His grin seems to be attracting a lot of attention. :D

[firefly124.livejournal.com]

Lovely!

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[venturous1.livejournal.com]

heh heh I KNEW it! **loves nose, smirk**

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

*nods knowingly*

Somehow my pencil knew it too.

[selinaenriquez.livejournal.com]

Wow!

Very powerful!

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

Yeah! I was hoping you'd drop by to take a look. You're one of the people I had in mind as I drew this.

[lampblack.livejournal.com]

Ooooh, I love this!

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

Oh, I hoped you would. Doing the whole black and white thing was a big leap for me - but something you seem to know a thing or two about.

[fitofpique.livejournal.com]

I could not love this more!

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I'm so happy with the way it actually turned out!

[akemi42.livejournal.com]

Wow I really really love it!

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Do you think it might be worth showing at Snapefest?

[verdenia.livejournal.com]

So much love! This is fantastic. Snape lives. *nod*

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

LOL! That's right - ALWAYS!

LOL! Thank you!

*tries to revive*

[athenakt.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow. *glee*

This is fantastic! Thank you for uploading the picture with so much detail. Snape's smirk: Priceless! The tombstone: Wins!

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

Thank you for your kind words. It IS kind of a big file - maybe I should have trimmed it down a bit for easier viewing, but yeah Snape!

[tjs-whatnot.livejournal.com]

Yeah! Take that tombmaker!!

I love this...dark yes, but also a bit of whimsy!! So very you!

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

*points to icon*

OMG! LOL! where'd you get that?

Dark, yet whimsical. I like it. :D

[tjs-whatnot.livejournal.com]
