I love the trees and the full moon and the wolves. You definitely captured the "surreal" prompt. Nicely done nightmare. ;)

Thank you very much - I wanted to put a lot of details in the image, so I'm glad you picked up on them.

What a scary mood this captures! Definitely a nightmare -- that sense of being trapped and helpless when frightening things are coming closer and closer. For some reason, the fact that the moon is behind Remus, where he can't see it, makes it all the scarier to me.

Thank you very much. I really wanted to catch that feeling in nightmares that you are unable to act and save the situation, so I'm happy you think it works. The full moon is the symbol of fear for Remus, so it should be scary with all the terror it holds for him.

This looks like a really horrible nightmare for Remus, with all the wolves coming and Tonks and him in danger.

The atmosphere you created with graphite is great and fitting for a dream, where it's sometimes blurry and grey (or am I the only one who can't remember to dream in colour or black/white? lol).

Great work!

It is a horrible nightmare! And thank you for your kind words on the atmosphere of the image - I'm pleased it worked. And now that you mention it, I'm not sure whether I dream in colour or black/white... hmmm..

Thanks for your comment!

Wow. You've really captured a nightmare in this, and I think also really got into Remus' head in HBP. And DH, for that matter. The poor guy has so many things pulling at him, as you so deftly depicted here. Really, really great work.

Thank you so much! I'm very pleased that you think this captures Remus' thoughts of his own situation. He is a poor guy from time to time, which only makes you want to hug him some more. :)

Wow, that is a nightmare: all those fears closing on him and Tonks in the middle, where he can't protect her. The pencil shading really emphasises the supernatural element. ^^

[hrymfaxe]

That is exactly the mood I was aiming for, so I'm very pleased it is clear enough. I was thinking that his greatest fear about Tonks was that he wouldn't be able to keep her safe from all the things that emperils his own life. Thank you so much for your kind words.
