Absolutely beautiful! I don't know much about art, but I know what I like :) I love the colors and the soft dreamy look to this, so that when you added red in some of the images, it really stood out. I also loved how you panned up Harry's body in your story. Not drawing his glasses seems smart, I always wonder when Harry is wearing glasses during sex scenes, why would he be wearing his glasses? This seems more real to me :)

Thank you very much ♥ I'm truly glad that you enjoyed the pics.

It depends on the painting, but I always add red and blue to most of them, and I'm really glad that you noticed.

I always wonder when Harry is wearing glasses during sex scenes, why would he be wearing his glasses?
Yeah I agree with you. I used to draw Harry's glasses even when he's not supposed to, just so that viewers would recognize him being Harry and not someone else. Since I was drawing for fanon this time, I took the liberty and took off his glasses. It's a relieve to hear that you agree with my decision and didn't find Harry odd without his signature glasses. :-)

Well, you always seem to me to do a lovely job with Harry's glasses, but I can understand why they'd be irritating!

The colors on the picture of Draco alone feel rather like a bruise, which resonated really well with your narrative. I like the blotch on his lip, too; whether or not that was deliberate I don't know.

Harry's posture in both those pictures is very emotionally strong. It's clear that he's having a moment of self-doubt, maybe even self-loathing.

I'm very happy to know that I've done well with Harry's glasses, but they are always such a pain to draw, especially since I don't own round spectacles like Harry's, I never manage to find reference material.

I personally quite like the color of the last picture, and the blotch on Draco's bottom lip is the result of the biting from the last slide.

In all the colored slides, I wanted Harry to look exactly like what you've mentioned, so I'm really glad to hear that the art has achieved the purpose. Thank you!

Gorgeous, as always. Personally, I like glasses-less Harry better too...and he'd hardly be wearing them during sex (I think? Never know with Harry XDD) so it makes more sense not to have them there ^___^

Thank you! Yeah I agree with you about the no-glasses during sex - it seems more logical too! :-)

Glad to hear that you liked that Draco - I quite like how it turned out as well. :-)
