Harry/Draco painting, "The Power of Your Intense Fragility"

[foxestacado]

I finished my first painting of the year! I work like a pharmaceutical company: I try out a lot of paintings, and only a few of them are actually pushed through to completion. This painting is actually the 5th painting to be attempted since December 2010, and the first one to be completed.

Behold, a new Harry Potter pairing (for me), one that I am

I like how this turned out. I like it better then the original drafts. As for that first image of Harry, I like that as well but it's not a Harry. Maybe a James, or a young Tom Riddle. Oh...I could see it being adjusted to being Tom Riddle, and for some reason it looks like his hand is up by his mouth and I could see him holding the locked right there.

Thank you! I got really excited when I started over and got to this version of Draco pretty quickly.

Yeah, I don't think the previous Harry was the right "Harry" to me. I was trying for an older version of Harry. But you're right, he started to turn into James for me. But I can see him as Tom Riddle too! Draco/Tom Riddle is definitely a little more kinky than I would like to try.

Who says it has to be a pairing picture. Could make it James and Lupin. (I find Lupin to be softer like Draco), or can do Tom Riddle and a young Lucius (but the James/Lupin would be more popular).

[foxestacado]

You're absolutely right...I didn't even think about a non-pairing/gen painting involving Tom Riddle or James. I guess my head was just in pairing!mode.

Hmm...I am definitely seeing this painting as James. He's kind of surly like James could be.

[vampireanneke]

Could make it Snape & James, there is a pretty good fandom pairing for that one. (for those Harry/Snape people who can't do shota).

[foxestacado]

What's shota?

Hmm...could be Snape and James too...the possibilities are endless!

[vampireanneke]

I'll be covering that in my panel about Yaoi vs Slash, but Shota generally means 'non-adult boys'.

Ahhh...okay!

LOL, my mom wants to help me at my table at AnimeExpo, and I'm like...errr...LOL. I don't think she would fit the atmosphere, LOL.

Oh by the way, seeing this doll in your icon, I have to say, part of my inspiration of this piece was actually your dolls. I didn't really use your dolls as reference photos, but I was seeking out a similar doll-like look for Draco and Harry. It's a very androgynous and yet exquisitely beautiful male look.

The dolls are wonderful inspiration. Alot of artists use them. I don't mind/care even if you did use mine. I don't have the ability to draw, thus I photo dolls. :)
