Hi everyone. Sorry that I wasn't much around these past days. The inconvenients of holidays! First a bit of paragliding (not so much, alas, as the weather is alternating between too many clouds and too much wind) and then, the Family visiting! I hadn't seen my cousin Bernard since quite a while, so it was a pleasure when he decided to pass with his

I don't see anything wrong with the colors, and the perspective works well enough. Very nice image. I especially like the way you've depicted Arthur, but Tonks looks wonderfully haggard as well, and it amuses me that unlike the rest she's wearing blue jeans under the robes.

Thank you very much :)

Well, for the colours, I guess I don't like them that much because I sort of let them happen instead of planning them... And for the perspective, that's only because I'm too lazy to use a ruler when I need one that it could be better, so I'll have to live with it! And that's nice to know that it works well enough for you.

And yeah, my Tonks has always worn jeans! And I don't see the others wearing jeans in company -though Molly in jeans would make a funny pic...

Heh, glad you liked :) Thank you!

You can't know how much I needed to make that sketch.

And yeah, I still love Tonks as well. Only not with Remus! And as I had to reread that scene to illustrate it, I really think that I drew it as Rowling wrote it! It's not a badly written scene, only, I don't think it was intended as a love scene. And even if I'm wrong, well, I can still imagine this for the whole years that separate us from book seven!

I think it's beautiful, and REmus is just perfect, and HAH! look at the pathetic whiney look on Tonk's face.

Gorgeous

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked this Remus :)

And I'm feeling very glad about the look on Tonk's face! *evil grin* And the more I read this scene (I had to reread it so that I didn't make any mistakes in the illustration), the more I feel like this isn't a badly written romance scene, this is a completely intended NOT-romantic part of the story. Especially with Rowling saying while she was writing HBP that Lupin's biggest flaw is to want to be liked. So I'm interested to see how it will turn out in book seven, and well, even if I'm wrong, I still have some years to imagine my own ending ;)

Am I evil for kind of preferring the original sketch? *g* Just kidding! I love them both, actually. Remus looks so torn...

I LOVE Arthur. He just looks so...geeky. And rumpled. And wonderful.

[nassima]

You know, in some ways, I prefer the original sketch too!

I'm so glad you like Arthur. I do too, and I'm very proud that he somewhat looks like his younger self when I drew him with Molly :)

Thank you!

Ah, I know how useful drawing can be as a form of therapy. :) It looks great! The infirmary is very, you know, believable.

[nassima]

Oh yeah, art therapy feels GOOD :)

Thank you! Drawing the infirmary was fun.
