This defies all my expectations--my cat...er...hat is off to you Sylvana (and other community schemers & maintainers)! I think that has to be the most hilarious Snape collage (Snapage?) ever. :D

Long live S.N.A.P.E. !

[sylvanawood]

Long live S.N.A.P.E. indeed! That sounds like another good motto, heh. And Snapage, LOL!
I'm glad you like it and to have you here. I'm looking forward to many interesting entries. ;-)

The Truth about DADA

[the_bitter_word]

Let's get this party started!

Here is my entry, from Book 6, Chapter 8, "Snape Victorious":

Snape, who was sitting on Dumbledore's right, did not stand up at the mention of his name; he merely raised a hand in lazy acknowledgement of the applause from the Slytherin table, yet Harry was sure he could detect a look of triumph on the features he loathed so much.

I maintain Snape knew the position was cursed.

And ArtPad worked! O frabjous day!

Notice how I corrected the eye placement at the last minute. Now that's fine art!

The winner will probably be determined by poll, by the way, so let's see the entries flowing in.

I'll take my medication now...

That's beautiful! It doesn't even look like Artpad; when I first saw the finished product, I thought it was traditional artwork scanned in to the computer. Lovely work!

I do love your Snape! And I'm mystified by how the heck you can make eyes so expressive in ArtPad. :)

Re: The Truth about DADA

[sylvanawood]

I never got around to commenting: I so love that little Tums jar in his hand, LOL. And the last-minute eye placement is really impressive!

"The Dark Lord"

[the_bitter_word]

Here is the scene in HBP, Chapter 2, "Spinner's End," where Severus raises his glass and toasts the Dark Lord. I love Laerry's drawing of it on DeviantArt. Laerry's Snape is a suave playa. My Snape is much more sinister.

I think color works better for me with ArtPad, even though there isn't much color in this.

Re: "The Dark Lord"

[sscrewdriver]

Laery's Snape is less evul than yours. The greenish skin tints you've given Snape are really creepy. He's super horrid. Arrgh! Would you buy a used potion from this man? No.

Re: "The Dark Lord"

[jen_deben]

That's wonderful too! I love his hand and his eyes in particular. The eyes are expressive and glittery and the hand looks so three-dimensional. You can see all his bones...

Re: "The Dark Lord"

[lunafish]

Oh, excellent. I love it!

Bloody Pensieve! Or...

[sylvanawood]

Here's my entry.

Bloody Pensieve! Or: How Snape would prefer to remember that incidence.

Oh joy, ArtPad works:

Re: Bloody Pensieve! Or...

[sscrewdriver]

This is ex-cer-llent, right from the smoke off his wand to the splashy leaves on the trees. I made an post out of it. (Yay, my first!)

Re: Bloody Pensieve! Or...

[sigune]

Squee! It's brill! :D

Re: Bloody Pensieve! Or...

[the_bitter_word]

It is perfect! Very funny.

[sigune]

I finally got an idea - though, as usual, it's not a very brilliant one. I hope ArtPad doesn't act up, because although I made a screencap, it's really best to see this one in action ;)...

...And jump!

It's in the "I wish..." category, obviously.

[the_bitter_word]

The expressions on their faces are brilliant. This is great, in ArtPad especially.

[sigune]

Thanks :). I'm not sure why it took me so long to discover the use of a grey pencil in artpad when I'm always using it on paper ;)...

[jen_deben]

Oh, wow! That's so funny! And I loved the detail in it. There's so much motion in Dumbledore's robes. I love the colouring on both their robes and on Dumbledore's face in particular. It's beautiful!
