Fanart for D E S I R E

May 31, 2008 16:17

Thanks again to aoifene for writing me both E R I S E D (H/D, NC-17 for graphic violence, language and sex) and D E S I R E (H/D, NC-17, Dark themes). I loved _loved_ E R I S E D when I first read it a year ago as my gift fic, and its continuation - D E S I R E was equally heart-clenching. The image of Draco pressing his face on the mirror has kept ( Read more... )

God, Lili, how do you manage to break my heart every time you draw Draco? And this one captures so well the broken fragile boy in the story. He is so beautifully done it hurts.

Thank you ♥ It looks like we share the same image of Draco in our head. Yay!

I'm in so much love with broken!Draco, and I only hope that the art could capture some of the essence of him.

Gorgeous. As always, you portry emotions so exquisitely. I just want to take him in my arms and hold him, he looks so sad, so hurt.

*puts fics on to-read list* I need to prepare myself first for a dark read.

Thank you ♥ The Draco in the fic is quite broken, and I'm glad that the art could capture the hurt.

Oh the fic is dark and has an unapologetically unhappy ending, so beware. But you wouldn't want to miss out great writing, would you? ;-)

OMG! This is the perfect thing to wake up to on a dreary Saturday morning! I can't believe you liked the story enough to illustrate *squees* I am so deeply honored. :D

You know I love your art and this is as always breathtaking. You've captured this scene so perfectly.

He presses his wet face against the cold glass, his hands stroking the surface in sweet devotion. Unable to help himself, he mouths his apologies over and over again. His tears staining dry lips, as he murmurs the same chorus.

The desperate longing on his face is captured well by the downward slant of his eyelashes and the tight line of his lips. And the colours just make everything so vivid! *sighs*

Thank you so very much!!! I can't tell you how happy this makes me. I'm sitting here grinning like an idiot. LOL It was my pleasure to write for you and since we're both kindred spirits in our taste for dark fic. I'll be sure to send some your way when I stumble upon them! :D

Yay! I'm glad that you liked. I hope you don't mind me take the liberty to draw for the fic and post without asking you first. I used to ask before, but I'm getting very forgetful these days.

I'll be sure to send some your way when I stumble upon them! :D
Yes yes yes oh yes please. There're so few good h/d dark!fics out there I almost wonder if nobody is willing to write them anymore.

Oh honey, I didn't like it, I LOVED it! And you never have to ask permission for drawing me fanart! *laughs* I am ecstatic when I get them and to recieve one from you is the highest compliment I can ever get! :)

Yes! They are so very few well written dark! fics these days. Fics were a lot darker before DH came out which makes sense because we were all playing with the possibilities of wartime HP. Now that it's been wrapped up by DH and that epilogue, people seem to focus more on infidelity, the next gen, and trying to find a H/D happy ending. I know I got a lot of flack for writing a dark! fic for my hd_worldcup entry that did not focus on any of those themes. *laughs*

I will rec you some of my old favourites though! Hopefully there are some that you haven't read yet :)

Oh, I will comment on this, I will. It's just that... well, I'm having a hard time stopping staring at it and sighing to myself long enough to scroll down and write. :P Oh, honey. Your Draco is so pretty. His eyelashes, his bangs, his lips... aw.

hehe... Now I look at it again it's overly pretty it didn't look like he's been starving and is going to die. But it's art done my a Draco fangirl, so one can't expect him to look like Draco reasonably.

Thank you dear ♥ You have no idea how happy I am knowing that you liked this pic. :-D
