Absolutely gorgeous, like all your work. Your Draco is one of my all-time favourite Dracos; actually, I think it may be first on the list. AND! I love the Gryffindor colours on the frames of Harry's glasses. Such a lovely touch.

Thank you very much ♥ I'm so happy that you noticed the color of the frame of Harry's glasses! And to know that my Draco is your favorite makes me all happy and giddy. Thank you! :-D

I really like the surreal imagery in the first image, and the attention to detail and more vivid coloring for you (I feel) while I adore the softness of your watercolors, I like these too, and I think you manage to keep the line precise and the color sharp without taking the vitality out of the work, brava! ;D

Compliments from you mean a lot to me. Thank you very much!

I have a very hard time choosing colors, partly because I'm not used to using bright, eye-catching colors and partly because I'm not comfortable using that. And I was nearly driven crazy trying to maintain the details and precision, and that's why I said I don't really want to do this style again. But knowing that it could achieve its effect and you liked it makes all the tedious work worthwhile.

I've been tackling color myself this year, going direct to digital coloring in the last months (eeee) and my fear is always overwhelming the line, so I know how difficult and how well you've succeeded. I hope you have a fabulous holiday, and in the new year, I hope we can chat more.

This INCREDIBLE!!! I'm so sorry I didn't see this when it first posted (I would have known it was you, btw - your Harry and Draco are so beautifully distinctive). The lushness and the sadness and the colors. Wow! As you well know I love all your work, but this is stunningly unique. I'm completely blown away by it!

On a slightly more personal note, I am so sorry for not being more up-to-date on my correspondence. It's not because you aren't in my thoughts! I've been on such a writing kick lately that as soon as I write something, I post it and then I fall way way behind in replying to comments and the next thing I know I haven't responded to my friends' emails or posts. I am concerned about you working so very much and hope that it's okay. Sometimes having lots of work is wonderful - and sometimes not so much. I hope very much that it is the former for you.

Take care of yourself, my dear. And know that you are in my thoughts :)

Recced HERE. Thank you. It's so so wonderful to see and your work again. You made my day :)

[lillithium]

*hugs* Thank you very much for rec-cing this piece. And there's no need to apologize for not commenting - as much as I'd like to read all your stories and your personal entries and respond to all of them, I have limited energy and RL work. So yeah, please don't see this as an obligation - I heart you regardless.

Sometimes having lots of work is wonderful - and sometimes not so much. I hope very much that it is the former for you.
I like to work, and sadly I love my RL job, or else I'll find a way to make time for fanart...

Take care of yourself too! And again, please don't feel obligated to LJ too much, or else it wouldn't be as much fun. *hugs*

It's been a while since I told you how much I'm in love with your art. This one is amazing.

[lillithium]

Thank you very much ♥ It's an entirely new experience to me, drawing in this style. And I'm glad that you liked it as well. :-)

[lillithium]

Thank you very much ♥ I think I've missed out a lot of awesome entries in the fest as well...
