hah thankyou <3

Oooooooooohhhh. So sweet!! Love the close-ups of the eyes and facial expressions. Really good, dynamic flow of panels.

[dustmouth.livejournal.com]

oh thankyou! I'm always worried about the flow between panels. It is quite a hard thing for me to judge so it's nice to know you think I did alright :D

This is cute and very, very sweet!

As usual, I love their noses and their expressions, but one of the best parts about it is the little things like "press" to show movement and small details. I also very much like the panel with the moon, and the close-ups of their hands and faces.

Lovely!

Haha I love you for loving my noses. Close ups are my favourite really so I'm glad you don't mind being flooded with them ;D

Oh, this is one of my favourite stories of his and you drew for it!! *g*

I love how soft their lips look here, I don't know how to explain it, but they're so tactile somehow, and I can feel it. Sirius's fingertips pressing against Remus's lips, and then gently biting them later on--eeek! I always love lip biting, but no matter how many times I try I never could draw it like I want to *extremely jealous*.

[dustmouth.livejournal.com]

Ah I'm glad the lips worked here. They are a worrying thing for me, especially when I am drawing boys. The lip biting was a lucky accident really haha

This is so sweet. I love the different angles and the simple shading. I especially love the close up of Remus' hand in Sirus' hair. Thanks so much for doing this!

[dustmouth.livejournal.com]

thankyou! And it was my pleasure <3

Let me describe my initial reaction to this:

First, I stared at my computer screen in disbelief.
Second, I squirmed around in my desk chair, still in disbelief.
Third, I slid down to the floor and sat there for two minutes, continuing to be in disbelief.

I'm in shock. I need a blanket.

dustmouth, this is amazing. The framing, the textures, the gestures. Their gentle, hooded eyes and dustmouthian noses. :D The careful press of Sirius' fingertips, the biting of the lips, the sifting of Remus' fingers through his hair. That moon. Everything that I imagined for that final scene is there and is just perfect and hnnngh~

Aaaah I am so happy! You have absolutely nothing to apologize for, my dear, for these are so wonderful that I am saving them forever and ever and ever. ♥ I am in awe and envy of your lovely work. Thank you so much, and happy holidays to you as well! ♥♥♥

haha ohhhhh
Your comment made the happiest ever. I'll explain my initial reaction to it:

First, I stared at my computer screen in disbelief.
Second, I squirmed around in my chair.
Third, I smiled so hard my face actually kind of contorted into a grimace.

I am so happy that you liked this. I was really worried about it- illustrating something as lovely as your writing was a big burden-
That end scene in particular just caught me. there was something rather, I don't know, cinematic about it. I could see it so perfectly that it was kind of impossible to give up.

I'm so glad I was asked to pinch hit because it really was the loveliest moment to illustrate. It means the world to me that you liked it so much :D

(p.s. I am now officially coining the term a "dustmouthian" nose. hah)

[laroseminuit.livejournal.com]

Oh, the close-ups of the eyes! So sweet.

[dustmouth.livejournal.com]

just another excuse to draw eyelashes haha <3

[magnetic-pole.livejournal.com]

That little "press" somehow slayed me. Lovely, lovely, lovely. M.

[dustmouth.livejournal.com]

oh thankyou- that's just me being lazy though haha ;D
