That church is pretty enough almost to make me wish I was into HP. Thanks for sharing!

[hrymfaxe]

Thank you for looking, even though it isn't your fandom. :D Drawing that church was really hard for me since I was only just getting started doing backgrounds in general, and architecture is even more frightening than those... So I'm really happy it works for you!

[clodia_metelli]

It very much does! There's a real sense of immense height there, I feel as though I'm staring up into the disappearing vaults of a real cathedral.

[hrymfaxe]

:D That's really great to hear!

[heartofoshun]

I always adore your Harry Potter art!

[hrymfaxe]

Thank you so much! I have been badly neglecting my inner Tolkien geek, but that is soon to be corrected in a rather major way! And I will be featuring one of your favourite elves too. :D

[heartofoshun]

Oh! I'm so excited. Trying to guess who on my short list you might be referring to....

[hrymfaxe]

Something in your comment makes me think you are on the right track... lol!

Have I told you lately that the watercolors love you, girl? Yep, they do.

Great take on the perspective. Actually, it sort of makes my head spin, which is good :)

[hrymfaxe]

I ♥ the watercolours too. :D It makes me happy that it is not an unrequited relationship. ;)

Thank you for taking a look at these! And for telling me the perspective made your head spin. I hope it wasn't entirely from the flu. ;)

Allow me to say how thrilled I am when you and Hrym post your artwork. Your styles are distinctive and each dynamic. Both appeal to me immensely.

[binkaslibrary]

Thank you! :) It's healing: to hear such words while being unproductive to a point of invisibility due to some fecking illness. Thank you again.

These are great!
You've done a wonderful job with the perspective and showing the textures---it has such a great balance between the angular scene at the top of the picture and the softness of the scene at the bottom.
The second picture is likewise very well composed and your background looks awesome. Love the details that you've added---the flowers, the reflections, the emphasis given with the ink.

I'll have to check out the hp_art_tales---I'd love to play but not sure I can commit to the time... :(

[hrymfaxe]

Thank you so much for looking and for leaving such a detailed comment! Since I started including backgrounds in my paintings, composition has obviously become very important, so it means a lot that you think it works. :) And textures are so much fun to play with when doing watercolours! I also love doing the little extra details, so I'm glad you liked them too. :D

As for hp_art_tales, there is no requirement that you take a prompt even if you submit them. It's very relaxed (which means there is also no guarantee that anyone will do anything for the prompts you leave. ;))

[javidan]

As for hp_art_tales
I'd love to participate---the only HP art I have at the moment are the two pieces I did for fandomfusion---the firelit profiles of Dumbledore and Harry. Can I post those? I haven't really done scenes...

[hrymfaxe]

There is a lot of ambience in those two portraits! They don't need scenes to make you wonder what has come before or after. If you'd like to participate with prompts, I think they would make wonderful inspiration!

I’m so happy I’ve friended you just in time, so that these startling, beautiful paintings are the first thing I find in my flist tonight.

It’s hard to believe that you were just getting started with backgrounds and that you find architecture so frightening. The church is amazing. Its structure looks completely right to me, and more: real, or super-real with that wonderful light. And the two tiny figures’ poses are incredibly expressive. The space is definitely enormous, as your Remus is far from a frail boy!

I love his toughness in the other picture, and the contrast between him and Tonks, as well as between them and the lovely nature. The details, like her broken heel. Above all, the way he’s tying his bandage.

[hrymfaxe]

I'm happy we are friends too, so I get the pleasure of receiving such a wonderful comment. Thank you!

I'm always too ambitious for my own good, which makes me not the world's most productive artist, as there are usual several aspects of any given painting that I need to learn about from scratch. But I'm really happy that the time and study I put into these are paying off!

I really like how tough Remus is in the second picture too - and definitely how he is all serious business about tying his bandage. And I'm glad you noticed the details too.
