I love Snape's pose and the style. It looks like a reat tarot card!

The composition and the coloring are lovely. :)

Thank you... Snape seems like such a character archetype; he just belongs on tarot cards!

Nice. Very Rider-Waite..

Thanks!

Oh, that's beautiful! It's haunting, in a way, but there's a wonderful sense of peace about it, too. And I love that it looks like a true tarot card. :)

Thank you! I'm glad that you liked the "traditional" look!

OMG that's awesome! You kept so close to the original card and still everybody can see who it is and how it's different. I love it!

I saw it only after reading the prompts again - you drew the giant squid into it! Weeeeeh! :-)

Thank you! I love the Giant Squid, and I couldn't resist including it...

This is beautiful, especially the waves and his robes. So appropriate to have the Head of the water House ferrying the green-eyed Gryffindors across the ... lake? It reminds of a trip to the Underworld in some ways. I obviously need to look into the Tarot and its meanings.

Thank you!
Yes, a lot of people interpret the water in the Six of Swords card as the River Styx, or as the water surrounding the Isle Of Avalon, so you are spot on about the trip to the Underworld idea as being a possible interpretation.
