Title: Eleven Birthdays Waiting
Characters: Snape, hint of Tobias and Eileen
Rating: G
Notes: Picture 11 of 13 for the Thirteen Days of Severus leading up to the Professor's 50th birthday. What I imagine to be a bittersweet memory for Severus. For this one I experimented heavily with a few copic markers. This reference used for the shadows.

I love this picture. They've all been wonderful. This has been a great creative project. This particular choice was masterful.

It came out great-- I think copic markers are your new calling! I really like the texture of the wall and floor.

Awww! Poor Severus in the corner with his parents arguing, yet the look on his face says it all, doesn't it?
*sigh*
Poor lad.

Awww! It's like I can hear him saying "Hallelujah" under his breath. Delightful, as always. :)

What a gripping piece... Joy, mixed with dark undertones. Let us say that I know from personal experience what those shadows mean...

aww little Severus! This whole series is fabulous.

Ooh, very nice! The colors work well together, and he looks very happy. I remember you saying a few days ago that 11 was driving you batty, but I don't see anything wrong with this.

OMG! So adorable and yet sad with the shadows (which are amazing btw) and his little toes and he's sooo trying to be in the moment and to forget everything but THE LETTER!!

Great job! Your pictures have such a story-telling element these days...I LOVE IT!!

Oh, this made me so happy! But, you know, when you know what happens later many of these happy moments becomes just so very sad. *sniffle*

Ohhhhhh! You have killed me with this one! I'm so, so in love with this!

[qui-quae-quod.livejournal.com]

This one turned out great! Little Snape looks so happy, sitting in the corner with his letter and ill-fitting clothes. The shadow of his parents looming over him is perfect (and so, so sad). You capture these moments in Snape's life so well! The amount detail and thought you've put into these is seriously awe-inspiring.

This might be my favorite! The color, the shadows, the meaning in Snape's face.

"And then I'll be gone . . ."

It came out beautiful.

Oh, honey. This one makes me cry. Yes! Take him away, out of that horrible home, to a place where he'll still not be safe, but at least have a safe haven in the dungeons. *pets little Severus*

[venturous1.livejournal.com]

I adore this! He looks so satisfied... now everything will be alright.

Just wanted to say before I RUN OVER TO DOWNLOAD THE NEW SNAPECAST AIIIEE! that this whole series has been such a lovely labor of love. Yeah, I used two "love" words in one sentence. But the Thirteen Days of Severus, and we the appreciative Snapefen audience, are all about the love, yes? :)

I'm especially fond of your choice of duds for Flashdance!Snape here. Could this be Eileen's old Slytherin house sweatshirt? (They do make those, right? Gladrags in Hogsmeade must carry them...)

OOh I missed this one. This art is very sweet and he's happy for a change. Dont know what a copic marker is.

[hogwartshoney.livejournal.com]

Oh !!! What a relief that must have been for him, the poor thing.

[alehxriotgrrl.livejournal.com]

Wow, I love this!
