This is an utterly breathtaking piece of art. The details that you've put into this have completely blown me away. I adore all the pictures on the walls, and how, once Harry was born, there seemed to be an explosion of them. Very much the new and excited parents ready to show of their little boy.

The toys are the floor are such a nice touch, especially the MWPP ones. And the wands!! I'm a sucker for intricately designed wands rather than leaving them entirely without detail, so Lily's gorgeous wand makes me very happy. :)

And as for James, Lily, and Harry, you've really went all out. They look so comfortable and in love, all tangled up in one another. I love the clothes and baby Harry's Gryffindor blanket. And Lily stepping on James' foot--very playful.

Thanks so much for contributing to the fest, mystery artist. :)

This is breathtaking. I love the pictures on the walls (my favorite is the one with James and Harry, but woah, you've managed to capture them as a faily, the marauders, Lily when she was pregnant, and... his parents!), the marauder plushies (is that foreshadowing right there, having Wormtail hiding out behind that bear), the fact that the teddy bear is missing an ear (Lol, Harry probably chewed it), the snitch rattle, the epic newspaper (I'm enjoying just sitting here and reading the scary headings), and of course, the three of them nestled there on that couch. Your art itself is detailed, shaded and colored to perfection. I just can't stop looking at it. Amazing work!

This is my new favourite thing.

I cannot stop staring at it - it's wonderful. I love all the details. I really like how all 3 of them are tangled up together and Lily's blinding smile. It's the image of complete happy family-ness (it''s so good that I'm making words up now). And I adore the fact that you've captured the youth of James and Lily too - the fact that they were only just done being teenagers before they were parents.

<3 Really, truly well done.

I love this one! It's so beautiful! The couple and their little baby is, of course, wonderful, but the details make it amazing. The Prophets are sitting on the floor and saying everything bad about the world, but they look so in love and wonderful. <3 The explosion of pictures of Harry! They just look like the young, devoting parents they would be. It's amazing!

This is absolutely lovely :-) I particularly like all the details - the pictures on the walls, Lily's socks, the newspaper. Gorgeous!
