I suppose that's a tin of crystallized ginger on the armrest! Excellent, very subtle. I like the Quidditch etching on the wall. And now I'm wondering what you've done to the nice flower curtains - are those snakes? Whatever they are they look ominous.

They are snakes! YOU NOTICED THE SNAKES! I'm so pleased. I didn't know if I pulled it off so's anyone could tell. And the pineapple too, yes. :D Thank you!

This is very neat. I really like the textures and the detail of the quidditch picture in the background.

Gnuh. Large size is a joy. O.O

Texture! nomnomnom

I love how the curtain is like "Nocturne in Snake and Gold", and the antimacassar kills me; I can just see it morphing into his moustache. What I love the most, however, is the tin of sugared pineapple sweets. It has thingness. It has real. I feel as though I can feel the pattern on the metal... and the pineapple on the lid! It's quite hard to quantify me glee at all the detail, but it goes something like: BWEEEEEE! :D \o/

ajklfsdjlsajflajklfjasl Thank you, I'm so pleased you like it. Haha, "Nocturne in Snake and Gold". You are FUNNY. XD I adore that you noticed the moustache!antimacassar. Also that you used the word "antimacassar." The whole time I was drawing it, I kept thinking, "WHY is this thing not called an anti-massacre? WHY. That sounds so much more likely. Possibly bloodier. But more virtuous, certainly. And with a sort of super-heroic flair. Anti-massacre." Yes? Anyway. Thank you!
