Just in time for HP FANDOM REUNION 2014!
There are really no words sufficient to express my excitement for this post. Back in 2008, when I was super involved in HP fandom, I had the great fortune of meeting "in real life" the beautiful, talented, and altogether amazing friend/artist,
reallycorking. Before then, we'd exchanged messages and pictures through LiveJournal and snail mail only, having co-created a number of long-distance Prismacolor collaborations sent back and forth via personally decorated photo mailers. These interactions fostered a friendship that is valuable to me this day, so naturally, when she had told me she would be in my neck of the woods, I basically demanded she come visit.
While she was here, we decided we'd do a collab on the spot to commemorate the day, and we quickly scribbled out some lineart on my ancient Toshiba tablet. We promised each other we'd find the time to color it in and parted with the memories of an excellent day.
But as you might imagine, real life and the slow decline of fandom resulted in our digital collab getting buried in the proverbial inbox. Lucky for me, RC saved the file and dug it back out for just the right occasion. :)
In
reallycorking's words:
Every time we work on something together I am astonished how creative we are together. :)
I may have mentioned this before, but I feel like finishing this piece is so perfect for this HP reunion. We drew it together back in the summer of 2008 (wowww) when HP fandom was still in its heyday (though maybe starting to wind down soon) and then seven years later we finished it for this reunion. It's a very reuniony thing indeed!
