I like the fingerless gloves... so cute somehow! The texture of Lily's hair in the middle is really neat. I'm amused by the change in the shape of Severus's nose, heheh. (I can't really draw him as an adult anyway, but the times I've tried drawing him as a child... just so much fail.)

What I like best though is the look in his eyes on the right side. Man, I'd sure kiss him if he were looking at me like that. :D

Yeah, I had some trouble with his nose. It was hard for me to draw little Sev's nose with a good sized hook on it because it might have sort of run into the lollipop. And I'm glad you liked the look in big Snape's eye. :D

My (minimal) understanding of young physiology says that he shouldn't have developed it yet. Severus probably hasn't had a cute "child's" nose since he was quite young, but neither would he have his adult shape at this point. So don't worry about that, I was praising the change actually. :)

Cheers! My understanding of young physiology and my fairly lame anatomy skillz make me really insecure sometimes. :D

And are YOU going to be at PORTUS???

That's amazing! I love Lily's eyes and Snape's jagged nails. :D

pennswoods June 27 2008, 19:25:43 UTC

Hee! So glad you liked the nails. They're kind of modeled after my own! :D

edit: Never mind, I found it.

the changes from one age to another are remarkable; **admires** I really like the way you combined marker and pencil, too, in ways that really suit the subject.

pennswoods June 27 2008, 19:26:16 UTC

Thanks luv. I've been having fun finding ways to merge ink and pencil.

That's gorgeous-I too love the fingerless gloves. You did a beautiful job aging them as well. He's so wide eyed in the first and just guh! in the older version. Her eyes and hair are brilliant too. Lovely lovely work.

pennswoods June 27 2008, 19:27:43 UTC

Thank you. It was really something of a challenge to try and get at such a young Snape.

And "guh" was definitely the reaction I was going for!!

posting here, as well, as on ij:

Oh, how sweet! :) I love the innocent kids feel of the first half and the more aware teenaged expressions in the second half. Their clear gazes in the first one are so dear, and Lily's still-clear eyed gaze and Sev's more shuttered expression in the second is spot on. Very nicely done. :) Thank you so much!

I wish I could have told you how much I squeed over your prompts because they really fired my imagination. Granted, this isn't quite a mirror image, but I liked the idea of juxtaposing the younger with the older.

psyfic June 27 2008, 22:23:58 UTC

It worked! Thank you so much again. :)
