Notes: I'm so glad I was able to make art for such a lovely story. I hope that it's alright, and that the wibbly faces in the GIF don't put you off too much. Happy Christmas!

 Mimby remembers that when the boys was younger some years ago, they was both sad a lot when they was sleeping. And sometimes Mimby was coming to clean and was having to leave because the boy with the long hair was awake and crying and staring toward the door and bed of the boy with the scratches on his face. But now the boy with the long hair is always asleep. And the boys is both smiling while they is sleeping.

And finally...

Happy Christmas!

These are all so beautiful and precious and lovely! I don't know what you're talking about. The gif is awesome, hilarious, blinking and colourful, like all the best gifs are. ♥

What a fantastic accompaniment to a brilliant story. Sirius's peaceful face in the last picture is warm fuzzy-inducing.

And that gif, lol! Very nice!

Oh, this is darling and lovely and really the perfect accompaniment for a darling and lovely story. You really captured the sadness and tension of that bit of the story and yet made it beautiful at the same time. It was a beautiful story and that was very fitting.

Also, I really love the differing styles and how they all fit together so nicely. The contrast of color and black and white played very nicely.

Well done!

Well done, as usual [livejournal.com profile] dustmouth--you are really a gifted storyteller. I love how the first drawing leads into the second, which leads into the third, and how it goes so well with the lovely passage (and [livejournal.com profile] mutuisanimis, what a sweet, authentic story--I loved Mimby). And the coloring in that second frame is so gorgeous. The GIF really made me smile too--what a great Christmas treat!

I loved the first one the most, and then I saw the second one, and it became my new favorite. Then I saw the third and it make me go 'aww' so audibly that now my roommates are looking at me like I'm a nutter. The GIF is still making me smile. Jingle!

Ah, the first two look so cosy and cuddly, but in different ways. I love how you did the crosshatching in the first one, it almost has a movement to it, and the white space before Sirius's bed is sort of like us waiting for him to make a move, for something to happen. The second one reminds me of those lovely illustrated books I used to read as a child, and Sirius's nightgown just makes it all the more precious. I love how it all progresses--it's like a comic told with different media. <3

And you already know how much I love that gif. It still cheers me up no end. Blushy boys! *g*

*giggles* Oh you are wonderful aren't you!

I can almost picture you in a red sort-of-elf hat, deftly working your pencil-drawn and watercolour magic (the shading and line work in the first illustration, the amount of patience and care that must have taken!), and then a mischievous little quirk of a smile and we get digital Christmas Tree!Sirius and Elf!Remus XD. And how much do I adore the fact his bell actually says "jingle, jingle" ♥

I love how you've worked the space between their beds to communicate the tension - in the first drawing they're quite far apart and the lengthening perspective at right almost gives the impression that Remus is receding, drifting even further out of reach, like as Escher-esque dream. And then in the watercolour, when Sirius is awake, Remus is close at hand, but everything in the room is barricading him in, the curtains and the books on the floor, the almost claustrophobic thickening of the lines of the floorboards. Beautifully done!

I love the vignette sort of style in the first three. The use of space to tell the story is really nicely done. And the coloring is stunning (the floor!). And their long noses almost touching! Turning me into a pile of goo. And the gif! Kind of the best. Their 'why do you do these things to us.' faces! <3

Oh, such happy, peaceful boys! *sighs* You captured the perspective well. This is such a sweet, interesting little fic and these are lovely accompaniments.

That gif is truly brilliant. *laughs forever*
