The Secret Escape of Severus Snape

Title: The Secret Escape of Severus Snape
Characters: Ron Weasley, Severus Snape
Medium: Pen and Pencil
Rating: G
Notes: An inadvertent two-parter drawn in response to the following drawble prompts: "Ron tends to Snape's wounds" requested by [livejournal.com profile] tjs_whatnot and "Snape sneaking out of the boathouse, when the coast is clear" requested by [livejournal.com profile] lampblack and seconded by [livejournal.com profile] lindenswallow. These were completed during my epic trip to China with portions of the first drawn overlooking Hong Kong and portions of the second drawn on the Great Wall of China. I scanned them as they appear in my sketchbook, so it really does look like Ron crept back to the boathouse to take care of Snape and then Snape took off in a boat when the coast was clear.

And just for fun, here are a few photos I snapped of myself beginning the sketch of the second piece in one of the watchtowers on the Jinshanling section of the Great Wall.

These are great! The boat even has a "Hogwarts" property plate on it. Talk about detail!

RON!

Sorry.

He looks very focused though.

You can't sneak a Ron by me!

Hee! That's right. You Ron-fangirls are fiercely observant.

These are too cool! Wow, I love seeing the in progress shots of you drawing on the Great Wall!
And Ron healing Snape is now my head canon as well!

I'm so glad you requested an escape pic. It's uplifting to think of Snape getting away and getting on with his life.

Yay! More Snapey art! *happy dances*
Ron looks so matured and Snape looks so--dare I say it?--peaceful. Lovely, as always. :)
The stairs and boathouse are both beautifully drawn, but I lovelovelove the way Ron is cradling Snape's head--a mixture of gentleness and strength.
I'm def. looking forward to more of your drawings and China pics and recap posts (in your copious spare time, I know, LOL)!
*hugs*
Welcome back, indeed, darlin!

It was good to be in China, but it's good to be back. Would you believe I'm ALMOST finished with my reread of PoH. I think I'm on the last few chapters. My kindle indicates that I'm 96% of the way through. I cannot believe what a monster that fic is! :DDDD

[identity profile] pern-dragon.livejournal.com 2011-09-05 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
Wow! You ARE almost done with that monster! LOL I hope you're at least enjoying the slog. *hugs*
I'll bet your DH was glad to have you back as well as you being glad to be back. One of these days you and DH should come to Vegas for a holiday and we can play tour guide and have shenanigans! :D
