A Contented Man

Title: A Contented Man
Characters: Severus Snape
Rating: G
Notes: Drawn for [livejournal.com profile] dickgloucester's Squeeful Saturday prompt - A mature Snape, looking thoughtful but not grumpy. I interpreted mature to mean older than I have ever drawn him, so I went ahead and turned his hair silver and found inspiration for the deeper lines and bags around his eyes from the amazing Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes (and I think he would have made a glorious Snape!) Here we see an older Severus, around 60, looking content as he reflects on his life and successes in his Headmaster's chair.

Oh, this is so nice... such a silver fox. Appropriate for me to view this on Mr. Rickman's birthday. I like the little touch of white... gouache is it?

Yes! It is in time for Rickmans' birthday. How fortuitous. that was actually a rather chalky white colored pencil.
