Wow, this is really gorgeous! I love the style and the muted colours. Their expressions are wonderful, too. Kudos, mystery artist! *claps*

Thank you so much! I love that you liked their expressions, which can often be hard to capture. Thanks!

Very cool. I love the lines and use of limited color.

Thank you! :)

What a unique interpretation of the prompted look across the crowded bar. Wow! I love the use of shadow and light, black and white, and the strategically placed spots of colour. I only saw the huge shadowy monster Draco is chained to on second (well, third) glance (I was distracted by Draco's stark beauty). Chilling, to say the least. Draco's beseeching look is heart-breaking. As is your chained Harry below the stairs. Lawman/Auror Harry is awesome - the hat, his clothes, the gloved left hand, and the right one ungloved, ready to draw his space-weapon. Thank you for this treat!

It's funny - I had first picked this prompt for its bright and comic artistic potential. The long bar with one of them at each end and all these crazy aliens and drinks in between. But instead - this is was inspired me. Thank you for such a great comment, especially "Draco's stark beauty" and his "beseeching look". He's somewhat feminine, but I think in a good way visually.

Oh, WOW! I really love this. It appears so simple in a way and yet there's such a lot going on. I love the different influences and references. Harry and Draco are gorgeous in these roles. Harry looks pretty sharp in his space cowboy threads, and his lovely defined jaw with the dimple. I love the glint of his eye in the darkness, also. And the GLOVE. ♥

Draco really does make the most delicious slave. The shape of his throat wearing the collar is making me shiver. It's almost a shame he has to be freed. ;) Or perhaps he'll find true satisfaction being Harry's slave? It's not my fault my mind has gone in such terrible directions, it's YOUR ART which has warped me with its evil beauty :DDD

I also love the other beings in the bar, and the very pretty drinks! This has made me very happy, thank you so much ♥

Hello. :) So much love for that glove! I'm so glad you liked this and that you noticed Harry's little chin dimple. You've got a good eye.

Now, Draco as a slave... He's clearly miserable where he is. I can see this whole scenario where after Lawman Harry saves him from Big Monster - he tries to "repay" him. After all, life as a sex slave is the only life he's ever known. But the honorable lawman is having none of that, despite his very evident desire... and where it goes from there, I don't know. Feel free to write it if you want hint hint.

Thank you for your lovely, lovely comment!

Oh, so cool! Draco looks sculpted and elegant like an art deco Marlene Dietrich and his eyes have a sort of glamorous damsel in distress look, and Harry looks all like a handsome grimly determined righteous sheriff here to save the day. Justice will be done! And there are space aliens and weird colored drinks! And great colors and composition. Thanks, mystery artist!

WHAT a beautiful and perfect comment! Draco looks sculpted and elegant like an art deco Marlene Dietrich and his eyes have a sort of glamorous damsel in distress look, and Harry looks all like a handsome grimly determined righteous sheriff here to save the day. Justice will be done! It will! Yes!! I'm so excited that you got exactly what I was going for here. Thank you!
