Aw! Look at the fuzzy boys!

Actually, that's quite striking. Looks like it belongs on the front of a romance novel.

Oh, I'm so glad you said that. It was sort of what I had in mind, too. ^_^

*mouth is agape*

My word, I wasn't expecting that. This is just beautiful. I haven't seen much art of them as older men, and this is just gorgeous in every way. I'm not one for facial hair but I really like them with it here. Ron's eyes, and his freckles, and his expression are just... I'm running out of advectives! LOL And i just ADORE the way their hands are touching!

Yeah, so... in a word, fantastic!

Wow! Thanks. I'm really glad you liked it.

I generally draw them as older men. They had so much growing up to do after school, and I see Harry as being somewhat haunted by his own destiny - what he had to do, what he had to be. And no matter what JKR says, I just don't think Ginny would be capable of dealing with his ghosts.

Ron, on the other hand, was there and saw him through so many of them, he knew... he experienced the horcrux. He knew what it was like to make the tough decisions.

It's hard to get that much emotion in one piece of art, but I try.

Whoa. So beautiful. I just love this.

[chibitoaster]

Could have guessed it was me, eh? (littleblackbow)

Thanks! ^_^

Yeah, it's obviously my Harry. :P

[secretsolitaire]

Wow. Wow! Who knew they'd look so good with facial hair? This is gorgeous! And I like the sort of mischievous look in Ron's eyes.

[chibitoaster]

Yeah, Ron's got ideas. :P

And I love Harry with facial hair. It's one of the things I tend to just do these days. I don't think I've drawn him clean-shaven in over a year now.

Gorgeous! Harry seems to be channeling a bit of Sirius here, and I simply adore the facial hair on both of them. So cute!

[chibitoaster]

See, that's what I was thinking. I always think he models himself after Sirius when it comes to looks and style, Remus when it comes to morals and compromises, and Snape when it comes to doing what needs to be done no matter how difficult it might be.

And of course, he was heavily influenced by Sirius' love.
