Art Post: H/D - Day of the Dragon...
Title: Day of the Dragon or How Draco won Harry’s Heart (despite a lot of Mischief, Mayhem, and a little Accidental Auroring…)
Rating: PG-13
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco
Summary: Harry’s job is a bit boring and he’s been wishing for wild dragons. Draco gives him a day he’ll never forget…
Word Count: 3700
Warnings/Content Notes: None, unless you need a warning for animated men kissing... *g*
Medium: Photoshop, GIFAnimator
Artist's Notes: This artwork/story is contained on 31 webpages. It took over three months to complete and contains 1800 frames in the animated panels plus 3 still pieces of artwork. It was created for this prompt submitted by phoenixacid. How could I resist a prompt with dragon!Draco? Impossible! :D Thank you so much, my dear Huey, for the wonderfully fun inspiration! I didn’t quite manage the dragon riding - I’m not sure Draco could have got off the ground… ;-) Thank you so much to the awesome nursedarry for the Brit-pick and beta. *hugs* The map of the UK in Harry’s office is from this site. Thank you to owl photographers everywhere for the many photos I used from the internet. Please note: no actual owl-nappers were harmed in the making of this art. ;-) Finally, I had the most fun goofing off walking around in Google Maps Street view in London and all over Wiltshire to be sure I had authentic backgrounds. ^.^

Important Note for Navigating and Viewing: All but page 1, the newspaper images, and the last page are animated. Each animated image will repeat as long as the page is open and will start over if the page is refreshed, so you may view as many times as you like before going to the next page. A longer fade in/out marks the beginning and end of each animation, though there are several faster fade in/out scene changes within some of the animations. Click on the little arrow icons beside the image to navigate to the next page in the story or back to the previous page. Since these are large animated files, please keep in mind that they may take time to load or may run slowly the first time through. Please be patient. Usually they will run up to speed on the second repeat.
I made some icons that anyone may use if they like, or I'm very okay if anyone wants to make their own. Just please credit!

And here are some examples of the full-size art of the characters. I had separate documents in which I drew the figures in all the different poses before adding them to the background scenes - which I always think makes them look like paper dolls. :D
