Surrogate Kisses

[pennswoods]

Title: Surrogate Kisses
Rating: PG-13 for smoking
Notes: My first ever Snily, and my first ever really young Snape. Drawn for the less_for_you Snape/Lily gift exchange. Originally titled Prelude to a Kiss, but the newer title somehow seems more apt.

beautiful...love your colors!

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

Thanks babe! :D So glad someone's online. Does it seem really quiet around here these days?

[ofenjen.livejournal.com]

Yes, indeed it does. I wonder if all the quiet is the sound of frantic Portus preparations taking place...

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

LOL! That must be it!!! We'll see if it picks up shortly afterward. There should be lots of cool photo posts!

[ofenjen.livejournal.com]

I'm looking forward to being inundated after vacation with photos of my lovely HP peeps!

[sofisticat.livejournal.com]

That is lovely!

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

Lily's hair is FANTASTIC everything from the colour to the movement.

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I absolutely loved the coloring on that.

I loved using Lily's hair as a bridge between younger and older. The original request was for a mirror image picture, but there was something about finding a common point to transition between the two ages.

You want I should change the title on the comm?

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

Would that be an awful lot of bother? If not, that would be wonderful!

[arcanetrivia]

Nah. Easy. Done!

[nemesister.livejournal.com]

This is so adorable! I love their eyes and everything else!

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I had to deliberate quite a bit on the particular direction of gaze for each set. I'm glad you like this.

[hp5freak.livejournal.com]

OMG...so wonderful!!

*glomps you*

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

*glomps right back*

[lampblack.livejournal.com]

I love this!

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

Thank you babe. I'm thinking this will be one of the pieces I display at Snapefest.

[sugarquill87.livejournal.com]

gorgeous :) I love the details in Lily's hair, and the warm tones used for both their skin.

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I struggled a bit with skin tone at first because I know Severus tends toward the pallid or pale, but I figured that being this close to Lily probably got his blood flowing.

[listeningirl.livejournal.com]

The colors and the shading are just beautiful. Especially their skin and her hair.

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

Awe. Thank you very much. I had lots of fun with Lily's hair in particular.

[dulcamatrix.livejournal.com]

really purty Penn!!!

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

Why, thank you, babe. ;)

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Widdle Severus! *glees*

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

Hee-hee.

*pinches his cheeks*

[rumcolour.livejournal.com]

I adore how you drew their eyes! There is so much expression! You can really tell the difference between youthful innocence and adult attraction...or "awareness" as I like to call it ; p *lol*

Great, great work!!

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

I really enjoyed trying to work out a contrast not only with respect to age but also to the type of "awareness" as you put it that we might find at their different ages.

Thank you for dropping by!

[akemi42.livejournal.com]

*gasp* I LOVE it!

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

Yeah! This is one of the four that I'm bringing to Snapefest! :DDDDDDD

[secretelf.livejournal.com]

The expression in the eyes is BEAUTIFUL!!
and would that be a smudge of Lily lipstick on the cigarette?! bad girl ow ow!

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

Heh-heh. Lily is indeed a bad, bad girl. :DDDD

[just-heidi.livejournal.com]

This is so pretty ^_^

And I love the little detail with her lipstick on the cigarette.
