Lovely, you've done his shocked expression perfectly. I really like your light use of simple colours too.

I was trying to go for early sixties colours, to match the time of Snape's childhood, and a bit washed out, like a memory. Thanks, I'm glad you approve - a bit less full-on than my usual colour blast, isn't it?

Yay!

"I was trying to go for early sixties colours, to match the time of Snape's childhood, and a bit washed out, like a memory" I wondered about that, since it reminded me of the style of a lot of the school textbooks & readers of that time. That definitely came across

Excellent! Thanks a lot for that - now I've posted it all I see are the mistakes, you know how it is.

Eep, sorry about that - I actually meant that as a compliment (I sort book donations at St Vinnie's once a week, & I see a lot of old schoolbooks come in, a lot of them with really nice & memory-jogging illustrations in them ;)

No, I took it as a compliment, I meant thanks for saying you saw exactly what I meant to do with the picture! It was really cool! Because once I've finished a pic I just see the mistakes, it was so nice to hear you say that stuff and remind me that some parts of it had gone right. Sorry it sounded sarcastic, darned internet. ;)

That's ok, I should stop being so jumpy about how I come across *g*
