Wow, I love the colors. Even though it's pink it still makes you feel saad - poor Remus and Sirius. :[

[almost-clara.livejournal.com]

Thank you! The whole thing got pinker as the mood developed ...

The colours are evocative! Is that Stonehenge (or similar) at the back?

[almost-clara.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's Stonehenge - once upon a time, before they fenced it off, you could walk around the stones and touch them ...

[secretsolitaire.livejournal.com]

Wow, lovely colors and atmosphere. Nice work!

[almost-clara.livejournal.com]

Thank you, so glad you liked it!

I love how you show the light falling on them through crosshatching - very nice effect!

[almost-clara.livejournal.com]

Thank you - I was trying to make the shading match the mood ...

AHHH! GORGEOUS! You're amazing! :O

[almost-clara.livejournal.com]

Thank you! You're very kind!

The facial expressions and poses are wonderfully evocative. And the composition and the combination of the colour and lines make this definitely memorable.

[almost-clara.livejournal.com]

Thank you. That's very kind. It was rather an experiment - I was trying to describe some sort of crisis. I'm glad it worked for you.

A-ha! The pink picture! However did you make such a colourful picture so sad and cold and harsh?... I love the way they are not looking at each other. Pretty... scary, somehow. Lovely!

[almost-clara.livejournal.com]

Yes ... and the more I explored the lines and the colour, the colder it got. Weird.
(Then I had to go and draw something cuddly ...)
Happy you liked it.
:)

Goodness, did you just submit another? You are amazing!

[busaikko]

I've been playing with your picture... it does not want to be an icon (as opposed to Snape and Lupin, they were quite keen on being icons). I shall have to do it a story. Anything you'd like me to write (prompts, ratings, etc.)? (I'm rather fond of a first line along the lines of, 'If anyone had told Sirius that his worst nighmare would be coloured pink, he'd have said they were cracked. Now he knew better.') Bu if you want something fluffier (but still, you know, pink), let me know!

[almost-clara.livejournal.com]

Oooooh lovely!

Your first line is perfect, perfect - just take it where it wants to go ...

Plumps up cushions, sits back gleefully and passes dear busaikko the Truffles of Inspiration ...

[almost-clara.livejournal.com]

Thank you - I'm so glad you like it!

[onehundredmoons.livejournal.com]

This is wonderful. This exchange is making me a huge fan of yours!

[almost-clara.livejournal.com]

Thank you! That's very kind of you!

[liseuse.livejournal.com]

That's gorgeous. It manages to be sad even through the pink. Wonderful.

[almost-clara.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Strangely, it didn't start out this sad ...
