This is marvelous! So comfortable and warm, with your reds/oranges. Fantastic! You definitely deserve some kind of honorable mention for your contributions during this exchange! :)

Thank you! I really, really enjoy working to prompts. I'm rather sad it's ending - there were lots of really interesting ones ...

[onehundredmoons.livejournal.com]

I know, I'm sad too! And I also like working with prompts; I often ask me betas "Have any stories I can write?" ;)

[magnetic-pole.livejournal.com]

Yay!!! I can't tell you how happy this makes me, Clara. The old carriages, the moldings on the wall, the graphics on the window! Very, very nice. Plus sleepy boys and coats and scarves and steamy windows and the old-fashioned browns. Your composition's really amazing here, everything on a 90 degree angle to draw you right in. Thank you so much! *beams* Maggie

Thak you - so glad you liked it! Steam trains are the greatest, aren't they!

Oh, it's so touching! How sweet! It's so warm and comfortable feeling! Great pice, thanks for being so generous and doing so many arts! :3

You're so kind! Your comments are wonderful - you really know how to make a person feel good!

[secretsolitaire.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous! I love the way they're wrapped up in each other.

[almost-clara.livejournal.com]

Thank you - it rather drew itself once I had the idea ...

[azureflight.livejournal.com]

I absolutely love the positions they're in - so intimate and natural. Lovely.

[almost-clara.livejournal.com]

Thank you - they moved into the picture and really made themselves at home...

[winnett.livejournal.com]

Wow, I really love the colors. So rich. Very nice.

[almost-clara.livejournal.com]

Thank you - there's something very comforting about this particular group of colours, isn't there...

[ion-bond.livejournal.com]

This is beautiful -- definitely worth a thousand words. I love imagining the moment.

[almost-clara.livejournal.com]

Thank you! So you liked it.

[almost-clara.livejournal.com]

Thank you - steam trains are the best!

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

Very nice! I love the warm tones you used with this :-)

[almost-clara.livejournal.com]

Thank you - I love working in this range of colours.

[sappybeaver.livejournal.com]

Very nice, makes you want to just sit there and watch them slumber for a while. Great job!

[almost-clara.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'll just move up and give you some space! :)

[liseuse.livejournal.com]

Oh this is glorious. So warm and full of light and sleep.

I am also deeply in love with Remus' nose, and I don't know why. Hmmm.

[almost-clara.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I had some fund drawing this - I love drawing big noses! :)

the smell of orange peel

Really? Because that is so, so Japanese: when getting on a train for a long journey, it is de rigeur to bring oranges and chocolates. And to dress up, of course.

That out of my system, I love your snuggling sleepy boys here. Sirius would put his feet on the seat, wouldn't he? And for some reason, I love that the boxy design of the panel behind them is echoed by the boxy glare on the sun and the stripes on their scarves. And amazing colours, of course, as always!

[almost-clara.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Yes, there's always orange peel under the seats in those old train carriages. Probably one of the design features ... And, of course, stone cold, so snuggly is the only way to go.

Snuggly is so much fun to draw!

[jamesly.livejournal.com]

Man, I love this! The colors, what look like fingerless gloves, the poses - mmm.

[almost-clara.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I really enjoyed drawing this - I'sm so glad you like it.

[curiousqity.livejournal.com]

Mmm... nicely cozy. They look so comfortable. I love what you've done with the lighting.

[almost-clara.livejournal.com]

Thank you! It was great fun to draw...
